Are you tired of feeling stuck, hopeless, and disconnected? I've been there too. I am passionate about helping individuals gain a greater sense of peace, inner freedom, and cultivating a deeper connection with self and others.

I work with individuals and couples with a variety of presenting issues including, C-PTSD/Trauma, Relational trauma & Narcissistic Abuse, Anxiety, Relationship Anxiety, Depression, Relationship challenges, Family Conflict, Attachment wounds, Codependency, Low self-esteem, Perfectionism, and life transitions.

I work with neurodivergent teens and adults (Autism and ADHD) as well was a wide range of clients who have experienced trauma, issues in their family dynamic, communication, peer groups, self-esteem, and relationships. I am most passionate about working with individuals as they explore the deep parts of themselves and uncover new insights. Many of my clients work to improve relationships, gain tools and strategies for day to day struggles, and explore, process, and find healing from past traumas and old wounds.

After experiencing my own life-changing therapeutic journey, it is my greatest honor to hold space for others during theirs.

Hello! I am a Nashville therapist for adults, adolescents, and couples. I hold a master's degree in marriage and family therapy from Fuller Theological Seminary. I aim to create a safe, nonjudgemental environment where individuals can share all parts of themselves and be met with acceptance and understanding. My style is relational, meaning I desire to create a space to truly listen and engage with clients and work collaboratively as a team. I am comfortable utilizing an integrated approach that synthesizes my Christian values with research based practices if desired.

All of us can benefit from having someone walk with us through life's challenges. Reaching out takes courage. I'm passionate about building relationships with clients of all ages, rooted in developing trust and safety, to create the space and awareness to be who you were created to be. I believe we are designed to heal. Sometimes the strategies we developed to navigate the world initially helped us to survive, but they are no longer serving us, and are actually keeping us from living life fully. I journey alongside my clients as they reconnect with their true selves, rediscover hope, and step into a richer experience of life.

My mission and heart is to provide an honest, safe, and compassionate place where my clients can find relational healing and wholeness. I am glad you are here. You are not alone. My therapeutic approach is grounded in my belief that we are wired for relationship with ourselves, others, and God. I am a wife, a mom, and a professional. My hope is that this allows you to feel like I am coming alongside you and you have a deep sense of being heard and understood on many levels. In our work together, my desire is that you will find practical, long-lasting ways of changing your relationships, experiences, and interactions.

Candice offers a unique understanding for loss & the difficulties of life. She was widowed at 34 with 3 children under 4, one with special needs, & recognizes the necessity of resourcing yourself in the aftermath of trauma as well as looking back & processing disillusionment & disappointment .& eventually finding hope & practical, forward-looking traction. “I don’t know that any of us escape grief & hardship . . . it's about how we cope & what we do with it." She can help you improve emotional agility, heal from trauma, assess personal/professional values & goals in order to live congruently & enjoy more authenticity, peace & joy.

Children often experience scary, confusing, upsetting, and traumatic things. You may see your child or teen struggling with negative self-talk, anger, sadness, trouble at school, trouble with siblings, difficulty with emotions, divorce, or loss of a loved one. As a parent, you may have read several books and articles, and still feel lost on how to help. I promise you that there is hope. I work with you, your child, and family to provide a path for growth, build a stronger connection, and communicate. Parents will learn how to be co-regulators, understand their children better, and how to set boundaries and deal with big behaviors.

MEN - We're expected to juggle a lot: work, school, relationships, our health, stress, you name! And, those things aren’t suppose to bother us. For a time we can handle just about anything thrown at us and not be phased...till we can't. The facade can only go on for a little while, then, our masks begin to crack. At least that's my story! How about yours? We look one way, feel another, all while stuffing what's really going on deep down and out of sight. We WILL begin to unravel and that’s when we turn to things that help us numb and check-out. In retrospect, those things worked well but now they're just us causing more problems.

Trauma expert Peter Levine stated, "Trauma is perhaps the most avoided, ignored, belittled, denied, misunderstood, and untreated cause of human suffering." At Be Found Counseling, we believe this whole heartedly. We see people, just like you, every day who come in asking the question, "why am I like this?" We know you want to live fully, without feeling the weight of anxiety, depression, overwhelm, hurt of the past and the struggle in the present. We know you want to heal. We know you want to feel whole.

I can be a good therapist "fit" for you if you are a woman needing to address the parts of your life that have deeply wounded you (i.e., trauma, abuse, anxiety, etc.). If you are in need of "soul/spiritual" care due to church hurt/religious trauma/spiritual-related issues and/or abuse within the context of faith, please reach out! I also am passionate about and sensitive towards issues of race and culture.

I am passionate about helping adults and children heal from relational trauma and move forward into relational health. I have a specialty in helping women recover from domestic abuse. I also work with children and teenagers who have experienced abuse and trauma or have high anxiety. I have additional training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), TraumaPlay therapy, the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), Premarital Counseling, and Domestic Abuse Victim Advocacy.

Therapy is for everyone. At some point in their life, most people find themselves in need of a little extra support…someone to listen without judgement, a space to process, and a non-judgmental relationship that can help them find their own answers. My goal as a therapist is to help create a warm, inviting environment where my clients feel comfortable and welcomed. My style is genuine and real. I believe that good therapy is a balance of building a warm, trusting relationship and acquiring practical skills for application.

(I am currently accepting new clients!) If you find yourself here because you're feeling overwhelmed, lost, and unsure how to move forward in life, you've made it to the right place. Congrats on starting your journey to healing, I am already so proud of you! I am here to help you work through the anxiety that keeps you from recognizing your potential, the trauma that keeps you feeling stuck in the past, and any attachment wounds that keep you from forming deep and meaningful connections. If any of these have resonated with you, then let's get started working towards the life you desire.

I'm wondering if you've ever been so stressed that you feel overwhelmed? Have you felt misunderstood or lonely in your relationships? Or dealt with conflicts that seem ongoing or unsolvable? Have you struggled with racing thoughts or anxiety? Have you ever felt so sad you didn't know how you’re going to get through it or so depressed that you can't find the energy to get through the day? Have you acted out of desperation to just feel better? Or been so busy with life and work that you feel numb? Have you walked through life transitions that feel confusing or hopeless? Or experienced wounding that's left you feeling different?

Each of us has our own unique path and challenges to navigate in this life. Many of us struggle to find the freedom to live out our truth and to follow our hearts because we are bound by societal and/or familial conditioning and programming that pressures us to fit into a certain mold that may not align with who we are and what we find to be true. This binding can often show up as anxiety or unhappiness, and many of us have trauma that continues to live in our bodies influencing the ways in which we react to what we encounter in life. We can work together to understand and alleviate what is keeping you from being more free.

I am so glad you are here. Reaching out for help can be a difficult and crucial first step on the path to healing. And sometimes our hardest endeavors become our greatest joys. It is normal for us to experience a wide range of emotions in this life. As a therapist, it is my goal to provide a safe space for clients to be seen, heard, and navigate all that life has in store. My professional experience includes a variety of trauma, life transitions, relationship issues, anxiety, perfectionism, adverse religious experiences and spiritual issues, the music business and touring life, body image and disordered eating, and grief and loss.

I'm passionate about partnering with and walking alongside others in their most difficult moments to offer a renewed sense of hope and healing. Research shows the value in a therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe and accepted. I see this relationship as the foundation my clients and I build upon to move towards progress and transformation. My clinical interests include depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, trauma, sexuality, boundaries, spirituality, and life-transitions.

Hello, I'm glad you've found my page! If you are ready to take the steps to heal from trauma, build healthy boundaries in your relationships, and learn tools to manage anxiety and build self-confidence, then I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to work with you!
