Are you a sensitive, creative, possibly neurodivergent soul who’s been told you’re “too much,” “too emotional,” or “too confusing” for the world around you? Maybe you’re just beginning to explore your true identity or question the roles you were handed - and it feels both liberating and deeply overwhelming. You’ve always felt things deeply, picked up on energy others miss, and turned to things like music, art, tarot, or creativity to make sense of it all. You’ve tried all the tools - therapy TikToks, moon rituals, journaling, breathwork - but nothing seems to create the lasting change you're truly longing for

You are always on high alert. Your brain is always scanning the room to make sure everything is okay. You over-apologize, over-explain, over-share or disconnect and push your emotions deep down. You feel different: maybe too emotional, too “much”. A sense of loneliness and longing for something you can’t describe looms in the background. No matter what you try the feeling that there’s “something wrong with you” just won’t let up. You try to feel better; from journaling, meditation, medication, to breath work, but still long for connection.

I support couples with exploring how cultural values, gender norms and trauma may be shaping the ways they relate to each other.
I offer in-person couples therapy in Hamilton and virtual therapy for couples across Ontario. Common concerns I support couples with include: emotional distance, recurring conflict, communication difficulties, major life transitions, sexuality and intimacy, parenting, career pressures, pursue-withdraw dynamics, infidelity, and differences in cultural, religious, or political values. I pursue specialized training and study in psychoanalytic couples therapy that explores deeper unconscious patterns.

If your nervous system is on high alert and you are exhausted by the daily survival-mode cycle, you are in the right place. Hi, I’m Candice. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with Fernweh Wellness, I support adults and adolescents (13+) navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and difficult life transitions, including individuals navigating mandated services. I understand that when you are carrying heavy experiences, stress doesn't just live in your thoughts; it takes a physical toll on your body. I firmly believe that true healing begins with feeling safe, respected, and completely understood.

Sometimes life changes before you feel ready for it. You might be starting a new chapter, questioning who you are, or feeling overwhelmed by everything expected of you. Maybe anxiety has you constantly overthinking, perfectionism keeps you feeling like you’re never doing enough, or stress has left you exhausted and disconnected from yourself. Changes in relationships, school, work, family, or your sense of identity can leave you wondering where you fit and how to feel like yourself again while trying to keep everything else together.

You might be navigating academic or performance pressure, life transitions, social or health anxiety, or a complicated relationship with body image, and want practical tools to feel calm and secure.

We live in a continually growing, fast-paced world where it can be hard to accomplish all that we need in a day, let alone finding time to prioritize our mental well-being or relationships. I work with individuals and families who are seeking to understand themselves better and to deepen feelings of safety and connection within their relationships, but may feel stuck or uncertain about where to start. I believe that each person holds the answers within themselves and through our work together, you will uncover and build on your unique inner resources in order to make meaningful changes in your life.

The goal of my practice is to provide a safe, and supportive environment, creating space for you to process your thoughts and emotions. I work alongside clients to create a life with authentic joy and develop a "toolbox" of skills. These skills help deal with negative emotion regulation, impulsive reactions and effective communication. I will tailor each session to your individual needs, drawing on various modalities such as Dialectic Behaviour Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy with a trauma-informed lens.
