The initial session with the Candance was a truly positive and experience. Her professional demeanor and genuine empathy created a safe environment that made the conversation feel comfortable. It is rare to feel so heard and understood during a first meeting. I am very grateful for her guidance and look forward to our future sessions together.

She offers a kind and gentle approach while addressing uncomfortable truths. She is very open minded and inclusive, and also very respectful about personal boundaries and beliefs. She is extremely understanding, empathetic, light hearted, and able to seamlessly break the tension that vulnerability brings. I believe she has brough insight on a lot in our short time. I also believe I have found the person that can help me succeed in this journey.
