Great to meet you!

Well, hello! My name is Candace and have been walking with clients on their journey of healing for 10 years and counting. I am a Licensed Clinicial Mental health Counselor with a M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling/Specialization in Trauma and Crisis. I have worked with client from ages 4 - 70 from all walks of life. I specialize in trauma informed care, spiritual christian counseling, and taking elements from geek culture to integrate them into your experience.

My approach to therapy

As I walk with you on this journey of healing, we will use different interventions which includes geek therapy, brainspotting (focused mindfulness), solution focused brief therapy, positive psychology, forward facing trauma therapy. I really enjoy taking components of geek culture and incorporating them into your healing journey.
