Meet Candyce

Extensive experience serving individuals across the lifespan and from diverse cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. I work with adults, and geriatrics, providing culturally responsive care that honors each client’s unique identity and lived experience. I specialize in supporting clients navigating grief and loss, self-esteem and self-worth challenges, depression, trauma, and major life transitions. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and strengths-based, integrating evidence-based practices with a deep respect for each client’s values, culture, and personal goals.

I utilize a blend of modalities to help manage depressive symptoms.
