About

My path to counseling began in the classroom, where I spent nearly twenty years teaching and learning alongside students. I earned a BA in Education with a minor in Psychology in 1996, holding a long-standing vision of transitioning into the sacred work of counseling after gaining meaningful life experience. In 2013, I returned to graduate school, earning two consecutive master’s degrees, and began practicing in a group setting in 2020. In 2024, I began my private practice, LifeRings Counseling, where I offer thoughtful, depth-oriented care. I invite you into a calm, in-person therapeutic space, grounded in reflection, compassion, and the quiet beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

Testimonials

“Sydney was exactly the counselor I needed. Having tried 2 others and not feeling like I connected, Sydney was a breath of fresh air. She is warm, understanding, compassionate and so helpful. Truly changed my life!”

“Sydney has been the professional that everyone hopes to find; gentle, patient, helpful, and deeply understanding amongst other things. I feel fortunate to have a counselor who listens well and seeks to find ways to improve what is needed in ways that work. ”
