About me

Welcome! My name is Candice and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I have been providing treatment for the past 5 years to children, teens, young adults, adults, couples and families. I have experience working with individuals experiencing mild to severe depression, anxiety, crisis situations, relationship issues, grief and loss, issues related to life transitions, individuals suffering from addictions, gender identity struggles, parenting issues, and individuals struggling with day to day challenges.

I believe counseling is a collaborative experience that brings you closer to your authentic happiness. My counseling style is warm, compassionate, and respectful. My philosophy derives from developmental counseling therapy, existential therapy, and many strength-based approaches. I take pride in taking an active role in establishing a strong therapeutic relationship, creating a safe environment, and honoring and respecting boundaries. I understand everyone is unique and I strive to provide the best therapy to meet your specific needs.

I look forward to working with you!
