Great to meet you!

As a licensed Cinical Social Worker with 10+ years of experience, I specialize in treating trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and navigating life's transitions.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to therapy combines evidenced- based techniques with compassion and empathy to focus on the whole person. Together, we explore individual needs, cultural background, systems, and interpersonal relationships that impact your mental health.

I specialize in working with adults, LGBTQIA+ and transition-aged youth.

What you can expect from our first session

I strive to create a warm, affirming, authentic, and culturallty competent therapeutic environment. From therapy sessions with me you can expect:

  • A strengths based, empowerment focused approach
  • Cultivation of self-awareness
  • Exploration of perosnal fulfillment
  • Tools and strategies to navigate challenges

Candie's style is

Empowering
Warm
Affirming
