“As a woman in a high-level administrative position, I often find that I need a combination of professional and therapeutic support coaching in order to be able to objectively and clearly work through decisions, problems, and work anxieties in a safe place. I have called on Sydney countless times to guide me through difficult decisions, moments of doubt, and moments of growth so that I can bring my best self to my professional and personal life. Sydney's method is gentle and encouraging without sacrificing honesty, logic, and objectivity. I can honestly say that Sydney is one of the most incredible, intuitive, and authentic people I have ever met: she is the perfect coach for high-level female administrators, executives, and business owners.”

“Sydney is a compassionate and experienced practitioner. She blends science-based, intellectual treatment modalities with a compassionate, real-world, comforting, and easygoing approach. She has helped me learn meditation, an invaluable tool I now use throughout my personal, professional, and academic lives. I am so glad I found her. I recommend her to anyone looking to tune in with and change maladaptive stress or trauma responses, navigate and improve challenging relationships with others, the world, and themselves.”

“Sydney is a truly gifted, deeply knowledgeable, and genuine human, and is exactly the kind of person you’d want as a facilitator, educator, and practitioner. She is warm, understanding, insightful, and empathetic, and has a wise humility about how she approaches the world. There is really something special about her.”

“Working with Sydney has been so helpful for me. I think we all have a tendency to set goals and intentions and within a week or two they often crumble when we hit unexpected barriers or our situation changes. Working with Sydney weekly has been life-changing for me in that way. Our weekly meetings allow my goals and plans to adapt as new things come up. It has given me the freedom to change my mind about my goals (and the way I approach them) without falling off track. She has a way of listening earnestly to my dreams and fears and helping relay them back to me in a way that makes sense and makes everything feel more approachable.”

“I took a private yoga class with Sydney over five years ago and still regularly think about feedback and tips she gave me during that class when I do yoga now. She is an excellent teacher and I can imagine she is a phenomenal mental health counselor. She has such a warm, validating, compassionate, understanding presence.”

Catherine G.

“Sydney successfully works with everyone from beginner to expert level of meditation. Sydney exudes positive energy throughout the room-her calm and friendly demeanor left most wanting to go deeper in their practice.”

Mildred V.

“Sydney is a compassionate, thoughtful, and brilliant asset to the profession of social work. Having known Sydney for many years now, it is clear that her expertise in the world of wellness is the perfect addition to therapeutic interventions.”

Jessica A.

“In a year of working with Sydney, I quit smoking and starting cooking for myself for the FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE. But really what changed was my own belief in my ability to care for me. I’d always thought of coaching being like middle school basketball or bootcamp. Now I get that being harsher with myself doesn’t mean getting healthier. This experience helped me trust that I can actually do things to make myself feel good.”

“EMDR has already changed my life. It did for me in 6 weeks, what 6 years of talk therapy couldn’t do. It shifted my day to day experience. It gave me the ability to sleep and to feel safe again.”

”The biggest takeaways from this offering were breaking habitual patterns of thinking, reducing stress, feeling more relaxed/more wellbeing, and boosting my creativity”

“Sydney taught one of the most valuable classes I have ever taken on classpass and in the city overall. I can’t recommend it more highly! I came out feeling so refreshed and with some new meditation techniques to use on a daily basis. I can’t wait to come back! “

“What a wonderful session! Sydney is one of those people who can listen to what you’re saying and relay it back to you in a way that creates greater clarity for you about your inner workings. She’s warm, made me feel comfortable straight away, and gave me concrete ideas about how to work towards my goals. I didn’t know exactly what I was walking into working with her, but it definitely exceeded expectations!”

“I loved working with Sydney, I learned a lot and it helped a lot! If you’re looking to mentally feel better this is a great way!”

“Sydney was so so so wonderful! It was exactly what my mind, body & soul needed. She was so easy to talk to, knew exactly what to say to put me into a state of ease, and tailored the session to exactly what I needed! Can’t wait to go back! Wowowowow.”

“EMDR seriously works. It gave me my life back. Sydney is knowledgeable, gentle, and compassionate. When I found her I was just looking for a private yoga teacher to help me reconnect with my body after a miscarriage. In 3 months, my life changed in ways that it hadn’t in any other type of therapy.”
