Hi, I’m Candace, a seasoned Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 30 years of experience helping individuals cultivate their healthiest selves. 

My approach: My approach to therapy is holistic, integrating evidence-based practices with mindfulness and self-care strategies to foster resilience and well-being. 

My focus: In our work together, we will focus on practical, sustainable self-care practices and effective coping mechanisms tailored to your needs. 

My communication style: I believe a strong sense of humor can be a powerful tool in healing, and I prioritize a warm and collaborative environment where you feel seen and heard. 

My journey to mental healthcare: I've often been asked by others what motivated me to become a therapist. Throughout my lifetime, both my personal and professional experiences contributed to my desire to help empower others and to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment where you can be your authentic self and healing can evolve. 

My goals for you: My goal is to empower you with the tools and insights necessary to navigate life's challenges and achieve balance to become the healthiest version of yourself you can be. 

My first session with you: Your first session is an introductory, conversation-based moment in which we each can get to know one another, and where you can ask questions about me and my approach to therapy. It's also an opportunity for you to share what brought you to therapy, your background, and your goals. I always feel honored and privileged to hear your story.
