Hi I'm Candice! I provide Comprehensive Autism Evaluations and ADHD Assessments for adults and adolescents age 16 and older. I also provide Individual Therapy and Couples/Family Therapy.

As a practitioner of Internal Family Systems therapy, I help clients identify and release core beliefs that cause anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger, guilt, perfectionism, and/or addiction. I strongly believe that our pasts influence our present. The lens through which we interpret ourselves, other people, and the world around us is developed in childhood and sometimes needs adjustment as we evolve throughout the lifespan. With IFS therapy, we will uncover and challenge the lessons you learned as children that keep you feeling stuck, scared, sad, and not good enough.

Please know that you don't have to manage these difficulties alone. I am here to help!
