Are you feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or feel like you're carrying the weight of everyone else's expectations? Anxiety might have you overthinking decisions, perfectionism leaves you feeling like nothing is ever good enough, or burnout makes it difficult to find the energy to engage with the things and people who matter to you most. Depression, low self-esteem, emotional ups and downs, or the lasting impacts of trauma might feel like being engaged in your relationships, work, or daily life is more difficult than it should be. Whatever has brought you to a desire for change, please know that you don't have to do it alone.

I love working with individuals—including children, teens, and adults—who are navigating life’s complex challenges, relationship shifts, or the lasting impact of difficult past experiences. They might feel stuck in rigid patterns, overwhelmed by daily stressors, or disconnected from their voice and are looking for a safe, non-judgmental space to explore their stories and reconnect with their inherent strengths. I love working with clients who value a flexible partnership and are ready to move toward meaningful change at their own pace.

Hi, my name is Candace, and thanks for stopping by. I specialize in working with adults who have experienced relational trauma and who live with the impacts of complex PTSD. Most of my clients don’t use those terms. Instead, they come seeking support for childhood trauma, domestic violence, sexual trauma, abusive or unhealthy relationships, betrayal in relationships, living with a partner who is unkind, complex or difficult relationships with their parents, estrangement from extended family, and patterns that feel hard to break.

You want a LIFE more worth LIVING! Lets create that together! At all times, we are always doing the best we can with what we have: the knowledge, skills, experience and the information we posses in the moment. But, we often judge our "past" selves (and others in our past) from where we are at "today". This can create problems. With guidance, we can learn how our own (and others) past decisions, actions and experiences can create problems for us today. With understanding, we can learn to live more effectively! I invite you to join me for this journey!!

Cognitive Processing (CPT) Counsellors
How does cognitive processing therapy work?
A CPT therapist helps a client evaluate their thoughts about the trauma they experienced, focusing on maladaptive or self-blaming thoughts that can exacerbate symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, or depression. The therapist will work with a client to help them learn to challenge such thoughts and consider different perspectives. The therapist is also likely to ask a client to work on these techniques at home between meetings, such as writing an account of their trauma that can be read aloud during a future session.
What is cognitive processing therapy for PTSD?
Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) is a form of cognitive-behavioural therapy primarily used in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to treat individuals who experienced abuse or violence, who survived natural disasters, who were first responders to such incidents, or who otherwise experienced trauma.
How long does cognitive processing therapy last?
CPT is a short-term therapy. Whether conducted one-on-one or in a group, a complete set of CPT sessions typically includes 12 weekly sessions, along with tasks for clients to complete at home, although this can vary depending on a client’s needs or a therapist’s particular treatment plan. Sessions typically last 60 or 90 minutes.
How effective is cognitive processing therapy?
A large body of research supports the use of CPT to treat people experiencing PTSD, finding it to be effective among different age groups, either in one-on-one therapy sessions or in a group therapy environment. Research suggests that although the initial sessions may be difficult, clients tend to begin to feel positive progress after the first few sessions, and that the benefits tend to last well after the therapy ends.
