Hi! I'm Candice and a licensed therapist with several years of experience in trauma, ADHD, anxiety and mindfulness. I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and challenges openly. My approach is collaborative and tailored to meet each individual’s unique needs. I look forward to working together with you on your journey towards healing and personal growth.
Reaching out for therapy can be scary - believe me, I know. I hope to build rapport with you and go at your pace. Please feel free to email me to schedule an initial session - the first session is really just gathering information and getting comfortable. So take a deep breath and take that first step. Start somewhere.
I strive to deeply understand and connect with clients' experiences and emotions. My ability to empathize helps create a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard and validated. This empathetic approach fosters trust and encourages clients to openly explore their thoughts and feelings. I prioritize understanding and respecting the diverse backgrounds and experiences of my clients. Being culturally sensitive helps me tailor interventions to be more relevant and supportive of each client’s individual context. I focus on helping clients build resilience and develop skills to manage and overcome challenges. By fostering strengths and highlighting successes, I support clients in navigating difficulties and enhancing their overall well-being. These strengths help me create a therapeutic environment that supports meaningful change and growth, ultimately assisting clients in achieving their goals and improving their quality of life.
I use CBT principles to help individuals understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Understanding a client's attachment style—whether secure, anxious, avoidant, or disorganized—can provide insight into their current relational patterns and emotional responses.
The core idea is that the way people interpret and narrate their experiences affects their sense of self and their emotional well-being.
