I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) as well as a national certified counselor (NCC), licensed in Texas and Florida with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. I believe that two of the most important needs in this world are to be understood and to make genuine connections with others. I also believe that the therapeutic relationship can help equip clients with the necessary skills and tools to get those needs met outside of the counseling office and to truly live well! My foundational approach is client-centered, which I believe is the key to a successful therapeutic experience, relationship, and outcome. I truly believe every client is unique, therefore my methods vary according to the specific needs of each individual client and situation. I depend on the therapeutic relationship to assess where the client is at, and what I can do to help them. I believe everyone has the capacity for growth and change when given the tools and skills to do so. Based on the combination of circumstances, my approach may include helping individuals gain insight into how their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs directly or indirectly affect their behavior and the stories they tell themselves (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). My priority is to help clients discover the roots to their unhealthy behavior, thoughts, and or actions and then guide them through finding healthier solutions for their future. (Solution Focused Therapy).

Candice is able to listen when you need her to listen, help process what you’re going through, and provide advice when you ask for it. She’s willing to work with your schedule and will reach out to fit you in asap if another patient cancels.

Candice has been an exceptional listener and supporter while helping me deal with my anxiety. I’ve felt my mind clear up and the constant stream of thoughts and concerns feel much less intrusive and overwhelming now.

Candice has been a great person to discuss goals, challenges, and opportunities with. So far, our sessions have focused on her getting to know me and asking questions about my thoughts or past behaviors. Thanks to her, I have already taken action to improve in certain areas, so I’m looking forward to seeing what else we can improve.
