About

Hello there, I'm Candis. Has life took a turn? Or maybe you have become overwhelmed with feelings of anxiety, depression, or looking to strengthen your relationship with your significant other. I have had the honor of working with adults, Veterans, Caregivers, couples, and youth who have had difficulties with life's stressors, dealing with relationships, trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, and other concerns. I empower motivated individuals from a strengths-based perspective. I enjoy using mindfulness skills as a helpful tool to look at the mind, body, and spirit to help enhance the evidence-based practices I work from. I'll meet you with a warm, empathetic, client-centered theraputic approach. Seeking professional counseling is a huge step! I look forward to the opportunity to support and empower you on this path for change.
