About Candice
Hello! I’m Candice. It’s nice to meet you.
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner certified across the lifespan.
My career began with a job offer that I had accepted in an interview, but I had to wait until my high school diploma was officially issued to me to officially be hired.
That was over 20 years ago, and I can’t imagine doing anything else.
It genuinely brings me joy to see others feeling better and doing well and I’ve been told many times It’s obvious to those around me.

About Me
For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?
Getting started is the most difficult part. Remember that going to a therapy session doesn't lock you into additional sessions. Whether you go again after the first session is completely your choice.
Also, your therapist is working for YOU! It is not your job to please them or make them happy. It's their job to help you find your way to feeling better.
About Me
What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?
If I have achieved my goal, my patients walk away with a sense of hope moving forward with treatment regardless of whether it’s for depression, anxiety, irritability, interpersonal conflict, or experiencing feelings they do not understand. I want them to feel empowered and that their thoughts about treatment were the center of the plan we developed together. My motto is: “You steer the ship, I’m simply here to give you ideas of how to navigate.”
About Me
What do therapy sessions with you look like?
My priority from the start is building a relationship where they feel comfortable talking to me as though I was a trusted friend. I consider it an honor that they are putting their faith in me to help them during a time of vulnerability. I do not take this lightly. I’ve found that this tells me so much more than any paper assessment can provide. This allows us to work together to develop a plan for treatment where my patients feel as though their input was the most important part.
