Hi! I’m Sydney, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with 4 years of nursing experience. I completed my Masters of Science and Doctorate in Nursing Practice degrees at Columbia University, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based mental health care and psychotherapy. I provide care to clients across New York, specializing in anxiety, depression, and college & graduate student mental health.
I believe that my clients are the experts of their experience; my role is to assess, validate, educate, and empower them to make treatment decisions that align with their personal values. I view both medication and psychotherapy as valuable components of care, with a particular emphasis on Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, CBT, and DBT.
My approach is collaborative from the very beginning. Together, we'll explore what may be contributing to your symptoms and discuss treatment options that align with your goals and values. If medication is something we consider, I'll explain why I'm recommending it, how it works, what benefits you can expect, potential side effects, and any alternatives. My hope is that you leave feeling heard, informed, empowered, and confident about whatever choice you make!
