On the outside it looks like you have it all together. But on the inside you never feel good enough and the voice in your head is quick to remind you of all the ways you’re falling short. You've spent the last however-many-years trying to keep everything together, but it’s exhausting, and you don’t think you can do it anymore. You're tired of giving so much to everyone else while you continue to come last on your list. Not anymore. It's time for a change.

You are of great value and have potential for resiliency and change, even if you feel too wounded, unworthy, or overwhelmed. Having someone to empathically hold your experiences and emotionally vulnerable or conflicted state while also facilitating the healing and growth you are capable of, is comforting and empowering. Allow me the privilege of partnering with you in developing and experiencing a practical, personally meaningful, trauma and culturally informed journey to improved mental-emotional health, wellness, and completeness.

Having challenges in life are inevitable, but you do not have to go through them alone. Working through those challenges with a strong, healthy support network can promote healing, growth, and overall improved well-being. I believe my clients are the experts of their own experience and my role is to empathetically listen to and support them as they heal from the hardships they face. My goal is to help clients discover new ways to cope when life feels unmanageable and empower them to become the best version of themselves.

I provide counseling and consultative services. With the help of my colleague, Mark Shively, we also provide training using biofeedback technology. As a counselor, my role is to listen, discern strengths and vulnerabilities, and invite growth/advancement from those placing trust in my care. As a consultant, I strive to provide fair/impartial answers (in the manner of a scientist) to posed questions. Cognitive-behavioral training can address many thought patterns, behaviors and physiological states (such as stress).

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, my passion is working with those who are struggling with relational issues, trauma, depression, or coping with life transitions such as the loss of a loved one. My goal is to assist you in developing skills that will help you to navigate life's challenges, and that help to build and maintain healthy lasting relationships. Often, our struggles make us feel like there is nothing we can do to change ourselves or our situations. I am here to say that it is okay to feel this way, and even more so, it is okay to ask for help.

Life can be overwhelming, and it is easy to feel lost or alone. Maybe you feel stuck or trapped with whatever situation you find yourself in now. You may not know what your next steps are, but you know you want things to be different. The mountain that you want to climb is right there, but taking those first steps seems terrifying. I want you to know that there is hope. That your current struggles do not have to be part of your future reality. I’m passionate about helping individuals gain insight into themselves. Into their patterns of behavior, which helps them develop new coping skills and strategies to navigate life's challenges.

Our relationships teach us what to believe about ourselves: whether we are lovable, worthy, and good, and what to believe about the world around us, whether it's safe and trustworthy. When the relationships are hurtful, it becomes unsafe to rely on others, and we begin to believe the negative stories we've been taught. Asking for help is daunting and courageous, and you're here taking that step! Together, we will dive into your story so you can own the truths and put the falsehoods in their place while learning to love yourself and have the relationships that you deeply desire.

Does life with your partner look different then you imagined? Are you worried to bring up issues because it always seems to end in a blowout? Is the person you used to love and adore now a source of pain and stress? Or maybe there been a betrayal of trust that has made it impossible to move forward and find joy with each other? Is it difficult to enjoy your children and spouse because of the demands of raising children, working and running a household? Has there has been a loss of passion and intimate connection? Perhaps you feel you are simply roommates.

Children and adolescents need a place to be able to express themselves, understand why they feel the way they do. Candice has training and experience in working with children and adolescents ages 5-18 with anxiety, anger, trauma, divorce, depression, behavioral issues.
