Navigating life’s problems is like crossing an untamed wilderness. Unsure how to proceed, we venture on, stumble, and eventually make a way through. With enough time our uncertain trail becomes so well worn that walking it is second nature. Sadly, some worn paths don’t lead to the life we wanted. We feel disconnected from our lives, often irritable, in conflict with loved ones, and slipping into self-destructive habits. Making new paths can be daunting, yet doing so fosters feeling in control of yourself and your life, experiencing more connection in your relationships, and finding enduring answers to seemingly unsolvable problems.

For me, the most important part of therapy is the relationship I build with my clients and the therapeutic alliance I have with clients. It is about being authentic and having a genuine concern for the people and their pain. As a Counsellor I believe in embracing hope for those in distress and crisis that sheds light on their journey to wellness. In my practice I work with clients to use the tools they find helpful for them to effectively navigate difficult life issues. I love the quote that we are all just here "WALKING EACH OTHER HOME" Ram Dass.

I work Sundays and evenings as well as weekdays. I believe in the resilience of the human spirit and our ability to heal. I also know that we can get lost, and having someone support us as we navigate our path back to health can be life-changing. Therapy can be scary, and you may not be sure where to start. That is a shared experience, and together we will work to put the presenting problem into words and create a plan for our work. If you have made it this far in your search, you are looking for something. Even if you can not put it into words, I invite you to book a session.

Are you a young adult struggling to cope with life's stressors? Perhaps you have already tried several ways to manage life stressors, but still find yourself feeling anxious, having repetitive thoughts, feeling worthless, clashing with others, doubting or even being overly critical of yourself. You don't have to struggle alone anymore. All it takes is a little courage and the willingness to be vulnerable. As your counsellor, I will provide you with a compassionate space to explore these personal issues. Together, we can create solutions that are unique to your personality, goals, values, cultural upbringing and life circumstances.

My work with people is rooted in the belief that we all have the strength and wisdom within ourselves to make the changes we wish to see. Within the context of a safe and meaningful therapeutic relationship, new ways of being can emerge. Living more fully aligned with our values and increasing our awareness of unhelpful patterns can allow us to live a more meaningful, vibrant, and joyful life. By working collaboratively with you at your own pace, I can support you in expanding your self-awareness and changing the maladaptive beliefs or behaviours that are getting in the way of living the full and rich life that you imagine.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about how I can assist you. I have been in private practice since 2020 and have worked with preteens/teens, adults, and older adults in many different venues, including online, in-person and group settings. I have experience working with issues related to anxiety/depression, trauma, disability and LGBTQ2+. In conjunction with traditional talk-based psychotherapy with many clients, I integrate elements of mindfulness and meditation. I also practice from a psychedelically informed perspective and am open to incorporating holistic healing methods into treatment planning.

Hi, I’m Candace. I specialize in helping adult women who have experienced relational trauma by offering EMDR Intensives. These are concentrated, extended sessions of EMDR therapy designed to accelerate healing by addressing issues more comprehensively in a shorter timeframe. Instead of the traditional weekly sessions, EMDR Intensives involve longer, uninterrupted blocks of time, often spanning multiple days, allowing for deeper and more focused work.

You feel overwhelmed or numb and it hurts. The cycle of distressing feelings and fight-flight-freeze reactions keep you stuck. You hold it all inside, but no matter how hard you try, the emotions spill over and you snap at loved ones or shut down. Your mind tells you, "you are not good enough". You avoid taking action and relationships feel like a struggle because it’s hard to trust and let people in but you long to create connections with the ones you love. You can gain this connection! You don’t have to live in the past or in the future, you can learn to live in the present fully through awareness and active coping skills.

You've spent your life giving to your spouse, children, parents or job. You thought this would make you happy, but now you may feel weighed down, resentful, overwhelmed, or always on the verge of tears. Maybe you feel depressed, unworthy, or like you're drowning. You've taken care of everyone except yourself. Feelings of unworthiness or fear of being selfish may be stopping you from giving yourself the care you’ve given to everyone else. But there is hope.
