About Candice

Video Play Button

I am a Registered Mental Health Intern who has experience supporting clients of all ages managing a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality, and psychosis. My work focuses on helping clients find their voice and feel heard by their family and friends. I aim to guide clients in learning how to communicate their emotions and needs effectively while recognizing that their diagnosis does not define who they are.


I earned a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grand Canyon University. My therapeutic approach is holistic, empathetic, and client-centered. I help clients develop coping strategies, build emotional awareness, and strengthen communication skills to support lasting personal growth and resilience.


Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but it’s a powerful act of self-care. I encourage you to keep moving forward, reach out, schedule an appointment, and begin the process of finding clarity, healing, and connection. Together, we can help you discover the tools and confidence to reach your goals.

Get to know Candice

Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?

I love to help people and help them reach their goals while they figure out that they are more than they thought they could be.

What types of clients do you work best with?

I work best with clients who are still trying to decide if therapy is right for them and clients who have decided that they want to be committed to therapy.

What's one thing you wish all clients knew about therapy, mental health, or the healing process?

Counseling is not a sign of weakness. In fact, going to therapy when necessary is a sign of strength.

What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?

A warm and non-judgmental setting. Getting to know each other, finding out the expectations of therapy, and setting goals.

What personal experiences or values inform your practice as a therapist/provider?

My experiences as a wife, mother, and living life with various challenges has informed my values and how I approach therapy. My experiences allow me to empathize with a variety of clients.

How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs?

Getting to know each client and how they take in information allows me to tailor their sessions specifically for them.
