often the first step toward feeling better. She brings a warm, genuine, and down-to-earth

presence to her work and strives to create a space where clients can feel comfortable

showing up as they are.

Sidney especially loves working with children and believes that kids often communicate

in ways that go beyond words. She enjoys using play, creativity, and age-appropriate

therapeutic techniques to help children express things they may not yet have the words

to explain. Through play therapy-informed approaches, she helps children process

difficult experiences, make sense of what they have been through, and build a greater

sense of safety and understanding.

with people of all ages and backgrounds. Her experience includes supporting children,

families, and individuals in school, community, and hospital settings.

care. She believes that understanding our experiences and the ways they have shaped us

can be an important part of creating change. Whether working through trauma,

navigating difficult emotions, relationships, or life transitions, Sidney strives to help

clients better understand themselves, build on their strengths, and develop tools that

feel realistic and meaningful to them.

Sidney earned her Bachelor of Social Work from Brigham Young University–Hawaiʻi and

her Master of Social Work from Utah State University. She values continued learning and

growth as a clinician and believes that therapy is a collaborative process built on trust,

curiosity, and connection.
