I am a Christian Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My faith in the Holy Trinity of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit greatly shape my life, and my work. I believe you have everything you need within you to achieve your goals and heal.

Let's see if you relate to these: You're exhausted from second-guessing every decision. Your inner critic is loud and mean. In general, your thoughts are loud and racing. Getting out of bed some days feels impossible. You're disconnected—from your body, from younger versions of yourself, from what you want.

Here's what we'll do together: We'll try to quiet that critic. Rebuild your trust in yourself. Process the hard stuff and spot the patterns keeping you stuck. You'll get clear on what matters to you—then use that as your compass.

Have you been feeling stuck in your thoughts, in your relationships, or in life as a whole? Do you experience unmanageable stress or anxiety? Or do you experience what seems like a loop of intrusive thoughts, then repetitive behaviors or habits that lead you to believe that you may have OCD? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you don’t have to go this path alone. Together, we can begin a transformative journey, where treatment becomes your pathway to greater relief.

I believe every person is created in the image of God and carries a dignity that circumstances cannot erase. Life can change around us quickly. Roles end. Relationships shift. Children leave. Careers come to a close. We lose people we love, and sometimes we lose versions of ourselves we thought would always be there. Yet even in these moments, we are still becoming.

Much of my work is with adults navigating the later chapters of life—retirement, the empty nest, caregiving, changing relationships, and the question that sometimes quietly follows: Who am I now? I also work with couples trying to find their way back to one another and with individuals healing from addiction or the aftermath of an unhealthy relationship.

I believe growth remains possible at every age. We may not get to choose everything that happens to us, but we can examine how we will meet what has happened and what kind of life we want to create from here.

Clients often tell me that I listen closely, including to what is not being said. I believe every person brings a story that deserves to be understood before it is interpreted. My work begins there—with curiosity, careful attention, and respect for the life you have lived and the life you still have ahead of you.

Welcome to a Journey of Healing and Growth

Are you seeking a path to inner peace and lasting resilience? Hi, I'm Kim, and for nearly two decades, I've guided individuals just like you toward a stronger, more authentic self. In a world saturated with external pressures and the constant search for validation in others or technology, my deepest passion is to help you cultivate a compassionate and unwavering friendship with yourself – an inner sanctuary you can always rely on. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, carrying the weight of depression, or navigating the lasting impact of trauma. My goal is to create a safe,

non-judgmental space where you can explore these challenges and discover your innate capacity for healing and finding peace.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 17 years of combined experience in education and counseling, dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families find healing and clarity. Through my practice, Protecting Your Peace Christian Counseling, I provide a safe and supportive space rooted in Christian values while welcoming clients from all backgrounds. I specialize in areas such as relationships, family dynamics, trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and equipped with practical tools to move forward with confidence and peace.

Candra is a psychiatric nurse practitioner who is funny, driven, loyal, compassionate, and, most importantly, a human being who genuinely cares about people. I strive daily to serve clients who need support reaching their goals in life.

Whether you are a teen trying to find your way, a struggling college student, navigating corporate America, a single parent juggling it all, or an overachiever who needs permission to rest, I am here to help meet your needs. Not everyone needs medication. Sometimes, people simply need someone to talk to who actually cares, listens, and understands. Others may need assistance with medication, and that is perfectly fine too. When medication is appropriate, we will work together to find an option that best meets your individual needs. I provide an integrative approach to mental health care that is holistic, realistic, practical, and safe. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, insomnia, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, trauma, a breakup, a bad grade, a failed marriage, job loss, or simply a difficult season of life, I can help. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling heard, supported, and clear about your next steps. Healing isn’t a solo journey, and I’m here to walk it with you.
