I bring a holistic perspective, honoring the connection of mind, body and soul. I work with adult clients, couples and groups, in person and virtually. I have specialized training in Somatic Trauma Processing: SEP

I provide skilled therapy for individuals ages 18+ who are having difficulties coping with the inevitable ups and downs of life. I believe that even the most confident and capable of us can sometimes get stuck in challenging circumstances and unhelpful patterns of thinking, feeling and acting that takes us away from what matters most. My approach to therapy can help you learn new ways of understanding, relating to and coping with your painful experiences and encourages you to take intentional steps towards a rich and meaningful life.

In Sanskrit, the human condition is known as "PurashArth" translated as the meaning of existence. That is we all want to be happy, we work towards being happy, and we seek eternal happiness. In my practice and personal lived experience, I have observed that we all have a desire to be 'seen', and 'heard', this is how we feel included. When these three are missing, we become stuck here and do not know how to step out into our true Self. I strongly believe that once we make that choice to seek our true Self, together the therapist and client evolve toward their goals. To find that peace and joy that is not in the far distance but here.

Hello, and great to meet you. My name is Candice, and currently I work and reside on the traditional territories of the Lekwungen peoples. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a Master of Education in Counselling Psychology from the University of British Columbia. Prior to becoming a counsellor, I worked in a multitude of careers in non-profit, the public school system, and post-secondary. Eventually, the decision to pursue a career in counselling evolved from my curiosity in people and their stories, and the desire to share in one's vulnerability and healing journey.

Using a holistic and heart-led approach to counselling, I integrate self-compassion, mindfulness, and somatic movement to explore the parts of you that make up Self. Through this approach, we lovingly challenge the shadow side of Self to connect with the heart and allow more space to live authentically. Informed by my intuition and anchoring into the present moment, I take a relational approach to navigate challenges and move through suffering alongside you. In our work together you can expect to tap into your body’s wisdom to access the hidden points of stress and call on your innate ability to heal.

I believe that each person is fundamentally whole and good just as they are, yet painful life experiences, inner conflict, and confusion obscure our innate sense of wellbeing and connection. I support you to heal these wounds, gently transforming them with compassion, to help you achieve the life you always wanted to live. I enjoy working with clients from all walks of life. In particular, I work with clients with trauma to let go of past painful experiences and memories to live more fully in the present. I also enjoy working with the BIPOC community integrating a person's diverse experiences, culture, or spirituality into therapy.

I approach therapy as a creative and collaborative process that involves the whole being of both the therapist and client. In order to lead fulfilling, joyful lives, humans need access to the intelligence available through their physical, psychological, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual selves. Trauma, shame, and fear can disrupt our ability to access and experience these aspects of self fully, and can leave us feeling dissatisfied with our lives. By working directly with clients' felt sense of their bodies, as well as their stories and their feelings, I support clients in deepening their relationship to all aspects of themselves.

Does it seem like even though you try so hard, you just can't feel confident and happy? You're exhausted. You overthink. You criticize yourself. You should have figured things out by now, but you feel stuck and it's not for lack of trying. In your life this can look like anxiety, lack of motivation, procrastinating, impostor syndrome, over-eating, low self-esteem, unsatisfying relationships, a discouraging job or even depression, and feeling like you’re not enjoying life and don’t know what to do anymore. I know these feelings too and how exhausting it feels and I want to let you in on a little secret. This is not your fault.

If you are struggling to find meaning in life, wanting to find your passion and purpose, and take steps toward being your best self in many or all areas of your life, I am happy to help! Sometimes significantly challenging circumstances occur that lead us to question what we are doing and what do we actually want. While this can be painful and disorienting, it is a useful process to go through, and can be easier with a guide who understands. Grief, loss, anxiety and depression are at an all-time high, and many people either do not have access to their regular coping strategies, or those strategies no longer work.
