Therapy is often a first step to discovering answers to questions we have about ourselves by providing us the safe space we need to share, gain insight through an objective and non-judgmental perspective, and make drastic changes for the better so I encourage and commend you in taking this step! My name is Candace and I've been working as a mental health professional since 2018 and I have worked with children (ages 8 & up), teens, and adults experiencing various struggles such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and trauma. In recent years my practice has been largely focused on women's issues and processing trauma.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and you don't have to face life's challenges alone. I believe healing begins with feeling heard, accepted, and supported. For more than 13 years, I've had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, and families experiencing anxiety, ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, women's issues, and stress. I've also supported individuals navigating crisis, childhood and domestic abuse, co-dependency, and self-esteem concerns. My goal is to provide a safe, welcoming space where you can explore your experiences, recognize your strengths, and begin moving toward the life you want at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Your Story. Your Purpose. Your Identity. Healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about uncovering who you've always been. Life has a way of shaping us. Painful experiences, trauma, loss, relationships, and fear can leave us carrying beliefs and protective patterns that once helped us survive, but now no longer serve us. Together, we'll explore your story, heal unresolved wounds, challenge limiting beliefs, and reconnect with the authentic identity that's been there all along.
