Candace firmly believes with the right support and guidance, each individual has the capacity to live a rich, full life, free of the emotional and psychological burdens that may hinder their pursuit of happiness and personal fulfillment. In a comfortable, nonjudgmental atmosphere, the strengths already within can be empowered to create meaningful, fulfilling change. She invites each client to engage in an integrative, holistic experience where all aspects of one’s well-being are valued and incorporated into the treatment process. Candace appreciates the power of humor to facilitate interpersonal connections and honor the resilience of the human spirit.
