Currently Accepting New Clients

 Sydney is a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor (LAPC) in North Dakota, with a passion for creating a therapeutic space where clients feel at ease, accepted, and empowered. She earned both her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and her Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of North Dakota.

At Empower Counseling, Sydney brings a warm, bubbly presence and a style that blends empathy with humor. She believes that therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating—and often, the best healing happens when clients feel safe enough to be themselves. Whether it’s through shared laughter or deep conversation, Sydney uses humor as a powerful tool to build connection and make therapy a positive, uplifting experience.

Sydney works with children, teens, and adults, offering support for anxiety, depression, life transitions, and more. She tailors each session to the individual, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), or other approaches to best meet her clients’ unique needs. Clients often describe Sydney as relatable, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. She places a strong emphasis on building trust and believes therapy works best when there’s a genuine connection at the heart of it.

Outside the therapy room, Sydney loves spending time with her adventurous pup, Mabel. She’s always up for a hike, a run, or a game of pickleball—and when she’s not outdoors, you’ll find her curled up with a good book or catching up on her favorite Netflix shows.

If you are looking for a therapist who is down to earth, relatable, and dedicated to helping you create positive change, Sydney is excited to walk that path with you!
