With a person-centered approach, Candace fosters collaborative relationships, empowering clients to navigate their healing journeys through a multicultural lens.

Candace’s commitment to mental health advocacy stems from her own personal journey, which inspired her transition from a background in classical music to pursue a Master of Social Work degree from Baylor University. She firmly believes in the importance of acknowledging and addressing emotions as integral to overall well-being.

Specializing in life transitions such as relationship dynamics and intergenerational trauma, Candace employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to reframe negative thought patterns and Narrative Therapy to empower clients in reconstructing their narratives.
