Hello, I'm Candace!

Candace is a Trauma-Informed Psychotherapist at Carmel Therapy Network, providing both in-person and virtual therapy for adults, teens, and youth. Her approach is grounded in empathy, safety, and collaboration, helping clients navigate the healing process at a pace that feels manageable and empowering.

​

Candace specializes in working with clients who have experienced trauma, loss, or significant life transitions, creating a space that supports both emotional processing and nervous system regulation. She brings a calm, steady presence to her sessions, meeting each client exactly where they are while helping them rediscover a sense of hope and connection.

​

With a professional background in trauma processing, grief work, and crisis stabilization, Candace has extensive experience supporting Veterans, First Responders, and professionals in high-stress or complex careers. She understands the impact of secondary trauma, burnout, and chronic stress, and helps clients build tools to navigate these challenges while maintaining emotional resilience and self-compassion.

​

Candace is also skilled in supporting clients navigating suicidal ideation, self-harm, and acute crisis, approaching these topics with deep care and nonjudgment. Her therapeutic style emphasizes trust, transparency, and the development of coping strategies that honor each person’s unique strengths and values.

Candace’s sessions often integrate trauma-informed principles, mindfulness, and emotion regulation strategies to support healing from the inside out. She believes that healing is not about erasing the past, but about helping individuals reclaim their sense of safety, purpose, and connection in the present.
