It’s essential for everyone who is struggling to feel heard, understood, and to have safe spaces where they can express themselves, challenge negative patterns where necessary, and find support. My primary goal as a therapist—now and always—is to provide a safe haven where individuals know they are not alone and don’t have to face their challenges by themselves. I want people to feel supported, and it’s a true honor for me to be part of their journey. Together, we will navigate challenges, question limiting beliefs, and process experiences to release guilt and seek healing from past traumas.

Because therapy is such a unique experience, I work towards building a positive rapport with clients. I generally work with clients to identify which strategies will benefit them the most. It's important to me that clients are not treated as one size fits all. It's important to me that clients are honest otherwise, there will be little progress made. Equally so, it's incredibly important for clients to be open to feedback, which includes confronting decisions/behaviors that could be the source of pain.

Hi, my name is Candace, but you can call me Candy, I have worked in the mental health field for 20 years and have been licensed for 4 years.
