Through her own lived experiences with trauma, social disconnection, and finding a healthy balance with substances, Sydney brings authenticity and deep understanding to her work. She believes that meaningful connection, simply hearing “I see you, I’ve been there”, can be transformative in a wellness journey. Sydney approaches recovery holistically, integrating individualized mindfulness practices such as nature walks, breathwork, light stretching, and positive self-talk into everyday life.

She is an undergraduate junior at the University of Rhode Island and an aspiring Ph.D. student in Clinical Psychology, actively engaged in the psychology community.
