“Fix it.” That is what everyone wants to do and should when they are struggling with what they don’t like about their lives. I will do my best to help you navigate whatever is problematic and help you use the skills and resources you have and then help you figure out the ones you don’t to get things handled in a way that works for you. I love being a part of people’s journey and truly enjoy seeing people start to feel better about themselves and the way they interact with the world.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, relationship issues, or uncertainty about what’s next? Maybe you look like you have it all together, but internally you’re exhausted, overthinking everything, or struggling to slow down. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. I work with adults who want to feel less overwhelmed and more in control. My approach is down-to-earth, practical, and focused on helping you make meaningful changes, not just vent about your problems. I believe mental health is connected to the bigger picture, including your physical health, lifestyle, relationships, environment, and daily routines.

I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker with over 10 years of experience providing therapy for adolescents, adults, and couples.
Life can look “fine” on the outside while internally feeling overwhelming, exhausting, or hard to manage alone. Many of the people I work with are dealing with anxiety, depression, burnout, ADHD-related challenges, relationship stress, grief, trauma, or major life transitions that have left them feeling stuck or emotionally drained. Clients often describe therapy with me as feeling supportive, genuine, and practical, with room for both honest conversations and humor when it helps lighten the heaviness.

Hello, my name is Candice! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I am a relational therapist, which means that I believe that the most important part of therapy is the relationship between the therapist and the client. When you come to see me, you enter an inclusive and safe space that is free from prejudice and judgement. As a queer neurodivergent woman, I believe that it is important to show up as my authentic self and hope you can do the same in my office. Therapy looks different for everyone and I don't believe in a cookie-cutter style of counseling.

Crystal M Davis
Counselor, MA, LPC

I work with clients struggling with anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship challenges, and patterns that no longer serve them. Many feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, or disconnection and want to better understand why they respond the way they do. With a background in anthropology, I view people through a wider lens, looking beyond symptoms to understand the experiences, relationships, and environments that shaped them. Therapy is more than talking through problems. It is an exploration of how survival strategies developed and how the nervous system adapted over time.

Has a change in your life thrown you for a loop? Do you suddenly feel as if you don’t know yourself or aren’t sure where to go next? Perhaps you expected to be happy about the change, but instead it’s left you scared and disappointed. I’ve worked with people dealing with breakups, grief, or adjusting to postpartum life. These and other big transitions can become overwhelming, especially without the right support to work through the experience. The good news is that you can feel like yourself again, if not better than before. You can begin a new journey to discover what you really want and create a plan to get there.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
