Meet Sydney
Sydney is a Licensed Master Social Worker and the owner of Mind + Mother Therapy. She earned her Bachelor of Social Work degree from Kansas State University and her Master of Social Work degree from the University of Kansas. She is currently working toward her PMH-C (Perinatal Mental Health Certification) and has specialized interests in Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed care.
As both a therapist and mother, Sydney brings personal understanding and authenticity into the therapy space. She is passionate about supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, anxiety, burnout, identity changes, and life transitions. Sydney works with clients ages 18+ and believes women are far more powerful and resilient than they often realize.
Her approach is warm, down-to-earth, trauma-informed, and collaborative. Self-described as a “girl’s girl,” Sydney values genuine connection, vulnerability, humor, and creating a space where women feel safe, seen, and supported without pressure to have it all together.
Sydney is currently under the clinical supervision of Taryn Zweygardt, LSCSW.

My Story
My journey into maternal mental health began with my own story. I became a mom in 2019, and like so many others, I quickly realized that motherhood is both beautiful and incredibly challenging. In early 2021, I experienced a pregnancy loss, followed by welcoming my second child later that year, and my third in 2024.
Along the way, I navigated my own experiences with postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and birth trauma. I also gave birth to my first during the COVID-19 pandemic, a time that felt especially isolating and overwhelming. I remember feeling alone and unsure where to turn for support.
When I finally reached out for help, I couldn’t believe how limited maternal mental health services were in our community. That realization stayed with me. It ultimately led me back to school to pursue my master’s degree, where I discovered a deep passion for supporting mothers and families during this vulnerable stage of life.
Today, I am proud to provide maternal mental health support right here in Hutchinson, Kansas. My goal is to create a space where parents feel seen, supported, and understood because no one should have to navigate this journey alone.

If I wasn’t a therapist, I would want to be a storm chaser. There’s something about the intensity and unpredictability that I’ve always been drawn to.
I love traveling, especially anywhere tropical. Being somewhere warm and near the water is my ideal reset.
