Welcome, my name is Sydni and I am a licensed clinical social worker who has worked within the mental health field in some capacity since 2012. I obtained a bachelor's degree at Southern Oregon University in criminal justice and went on to earn a Master’s of Social Work at Portland State University, immersing myself in the clinical elements of social work. I am a mother of two young children and I love traveling, music, sports, art, mindfulness, and being outdoors with my husband, kids, and dog. I believe in the importance of caring for the whole person, mind, body, heart and spirit.
I have experience working with people across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, young adults, adults, as well as older adults for a brief time. Although I am not currently certified, I have experience as a certified alcohol and drug counselor and have great passion for recovery work at all stages of change. More recently, my work has been centered around youth, young adults and families navigating various mental health related challenges. I am open to working with a variety of mental health related challenges, yet, I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, stressful life transitions, and addictions.
I take a client centered, holistic approach, meeting people wherever they are and finding a way to connect and understand the challenges that led them to reaching out for support. I understand that vulnerability stems from trust and authenticity can create a space for this. I create a safe space for others to share openly about past and present experiences, positive and challenging. I am passionate about narrative approaches and often use elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic therapy. I am trained in EMDR or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, which is a very effective therapeutic approach, particularly for trauma. I tailor my approaches to the individual(s) and appreciate the benefits of arts and crafts, mindfulness, movement, play, writing, music, and most importantly humor as tools for self-expression and processing. Laughter is good for the soul on all levels and I hope to ignite that within us both!
