I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate and personalized mental health care. With over 10 years of experience in healthcare, I offer comprehensive services including medication management and therapeutic support.

I am passionate about brain and mental health. Over the years, I have built the belief that strong mental health is foundational to a successful, fulfilling life. However, I have also found there are no cookie-cutter solutions given the complexities of the human experience, thus inspiring a passion for a thorough, thoughtful, and individualized approach to brain and mental health. I earned a bachelor degree in nursing and in psychology, and a master's degree in psychiatric mental health.

I believe that we have many tools at our disposal, and medication is a useful one when needed. As a former teacher and a parent of ADHD children, I understand the struggle of working with challenging kids and teens. I help you find solutions. I enjoy working with all ages.

Hello! I’m Candice. It’s nice to meet you.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner certified across the lifespan.

My career began with a job offer that I had accepted in an interview, but I had to wait until my high school diploma was officially issued to me to officially be hired.

That was over 20 years ago, and I can’t imagine doing anything else.

It genuinely brings me joy to see others feeling better and doing well and I’ve been told many times It’s obvious to those around me.

My style is not about quick appointments and hurried prescriptions; instead, it’s about integrative, personalized care combining medication management with multiple therapies in a conversational manner. This approach allows you to comfortably dig deep. It provides the added benefit of accessing my extensive medical knowledge developed over decades of patient care, reinforced by my unwavering commitment to understanding and nurturing every facet of your being.
