Biography
Sidney is a compassionate therapist who understands the complexity of intersecting identities and diverse experiences. She creates an inclusive, judgment-free environment where clients feel safe and validated.
Sidney earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Biology from the University of Missouri and completed her Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from DePaul University. She works with children, teens, adults, and young adults struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, and self-esteem challenges.
Many clients come to Sidney feeling trapped by self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, and a cycle of people-pleasing behaviors. Through evidence-based treatments like CBT, DBT, IFS, and a trauma-informed approach, Sidney helps clients break free from these patterns and build self-confidence. Her empathetic, collaborative, and holistic approach ensures that clients feel seen and heard while being gently challenged to achieve their therapeutic goals and create lasting positive change.
Outside of her professional work, Sidney is a foodie and self-proclaimed chef who enjoys exploring new recipes and trying new restaurants in Chicago. She also loves taking walks along the lake with her dog and practices mindfulness through meditation and Pilates.
