Whether you're haunted by flashbacks or nightmares, struggling to stay afloat in your relationships, or constantly feeling disconnected from your body and mind? You're not alone. Maybe you've said to yourself, "I can’t seem to get my life together," or felt like your interactions with people just aren't the same anymore. I work with individuals who are navigating deep emotional pain, trauma, and dual diagnoses; helping them untangle complex thoughts and feelings to find a sense of clarity and control. Hi, I’m Candace!

I specialize in trauma-focused care and trauma-sensitive approaches for those dealing with PTSD symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, and unexplained physical pain. I use evidence-based strategies for those who feel “trapped in their emotions,” experience depersonalization, or are struggling to regulate intense emotional waves.

If you're in a major life transition; emerging adulthood, career changes, or re-defining your identity; therapy can help you ground yourself, build resilience, and reconnect. My goal is to provide a compassionate and structured space where you can process, heal, and grow at your own pace. You don’t have to be stuck in survival mode. Let’s reclaim your life!
