Currently on Maternity Leave until June 2025. Welcome and thank you for visiting my profile! My name is Sydney and my pronouns are she/her. I have been working in the field of Mental Health since 2009 and post Master's since 2011. I have been an LICSW in the state of Massachusetts since 2015. I am also a Certified Employee Assistance Professional. Much of my past experience has been in acute care settings such as inpatient psychiatric care and emergency departments. In addition to that I have ample experience in supporting folks through life transitions, grieving significant losses, and following traumatic events. My therapeutic style is flexible, inviting, warm, collaborative, humorous, and engaging. My goal is to provide direct and honest care for my clients. The types of treatment I provide most often lean towards acceptance and commitment (ACT), mindfulness and solution focused modalities with a culturally sensitive, and trauma focused lens, as well as CBT. I operate with the belief that we are doing this work collaboratively and because of that, prefer open and honest feedback so I can provide the best therapeutic approach tailored to meet your needs. Outside of work you will find me spending time with friends, in nature, hiking with my dog, and cooking and sharing meals with friends and family.
