With over 15 years of teaching experience and 13 years in social work and mental health, Candace brings a unique blend of education, clinical expertise, and genuine compassion to every client she serves. She works with adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, and families, specializing in helping those experiencing anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, personality disorders, relationship challenges, and the lasting effects of trauma.
Candace has developed a special passion for working with individuals impacted by trauma. She is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and has expanded her experience by providing mental health services to incarcerated men within the correctional system. This work has strengthened her understanding of complex trauma, emotional healing, life transitions, accountability, and the unique challenges individuals face while rebuilding their lives. She is also passionate about supporting individuals returning to the community after incarceration, helping them navigate healing, restoration, and successful reintegration.
Her own life journey is what ultimately inspired her calling into the mental health profession. After experiencing a turbulent marriage, a painful divorce, and witnessing the emotional struggles her children faced, Candace personally battled fear, anxiety, unforgiveness, declining health, and emotional brokenness. Those experiences transformed her perspective and led her to leave a successful career in accounting to pursue a mission of helping others heal from trauma and emotional pain.
From that journey, Embrace and Heal Ministries was born—a ministry dedicated to helping individuals experience divine healing, emotional restoration, and renewed purpose.
Candace is also a Certified SYMBIS Facilitator, allowing her to provide both premarital counseling and prepare couples for healthy, lasting marriages while issuing premarital counseling certificates.
In addition to individual counseling, Candace facilitates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) groups for adolescents, young adults, adults, and families. Through evidence-based practices including Mindfulness, Emotional Regulation, Distress Tolerance, and Interpersonal Effectiveness, she equips clients with practical skills that promote lasting emotional wellness. One of her favorite therapeutic techniques is helping clients develop personalized affirmations that challenge negative thought patterns, build confidence, and encourage lasting transformation.
Clients often describe Candace as warm, authentic, encouraging, and deeply invested in their success. She believes healing begins in a safe, trusting relationship where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered. Her goal is not simply to help people manage symptoms, but to help them rediscover hope, reclaim their identity, and create lives that are emotionally healthy, spiritually grounded, and filled with purpose.
Whether you are navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship struggles, life transitions, or simply seeking a healthier future, Candace is committed to walking alongside you with compassion, clinical excellence, and unwavering support.
