About me

During 17 years as a therapist, I have enjoyed helping families and individuals improve emotions, thinking patterns and relationships to live more fulfilled lives. My training (Trauma Focused CBT, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy,Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Multisystemic Therapy, etc) has provided me the opportunity to work with behavioral and emotional disturbances in children and teens, parenting, conflict resolution, relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, and school related concerns. I enjoy working from a systemic approach to explore all aspects of a person's life, and this greatly increases the likelihood of success for the individuals and families I counsel.

My therapy approach is supportive, yet directive. I see you as the expert and I am here to assist you with the tools you need along the way. This means, I will provide you with a caring environment to be open and expressive, I will ask you questions to help understand more about you, and I will use a variety of techniques to help you decide the best course of action that you would like to take for the circumstances impacting you.

Let me tell you a little about myself! I have been married to my husband and best friend for 23 years. We have two great kids, ages 12 and 17, who keep us very busy with all their activities, such as drumming, soccer, cross country, and basketball. We have a dog named Cash and guinea pig named Willow. We love going to movies, concerts, and being active.

I love how Cancace allows me to talk out my problems, she is an amazing listener and makes me confident that I can work through my problems.

Written on Oct 27, 2023 after therapy with Candace for 3 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, self esteem, coping with life changes, and adhd

Therapy with Candance doesn't make me feel stressed or nervous at all. She's so personable and relatable it's like talking to a best friend who listens to every word I say and is knowledgeable in all aspects of life. I know she listens because she will reflect on past conversations we've had and will put things in realistic expectations for me. I've never connected with a therapist like I have with Candace. I've only had a handful of sessions with her but she has already helped me be more mindful in my daily life and worry less about things I can't control. It currently feels like I'm going through the worst part of my life. Candace truly makes me feel supported and she validates all of my feelings, positive and negative. I can truly say, it has been extremely helpful in navigating my current situation but also looking into my future. Thank you Candace!

Written on Nov 04, 2022 after therapy with Candace for 1 year on issues concerning stress, anxiety, depression, self esteem, relationship issues, and family conflicts

I want to tell Candace how wonderful it was working through my situation with her. She listened so carefully, explained articulately, and kept me centered on listening to God. I have struggled most of my life with the relationship I came to her about, which is about 50 years. I finally have the tools I need, and a God centered position to proceed with. My perspective has been permanently "changed for the good" and I am so appreciative. I feel so good, so free, so unburdened. Probably the best compliment I can give her comes from my husband. He said, "You are so much calmer and happier since you have been visiting with your counselor. I'm so glad you chose to do this. Keep going until you are satisfied!"
I am braver and stronger through this experience with Candace. I can never thank her enough.
