I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the Metro Atlanta area. I am committed to the well-being of all my clients and go above and beyond to ensure they feel heard, respected, and cared for in the therapeutic relationship. I have worked with clients who have various diagnoses including ADHD, depression, bipolar, anxiety, and schizophrenia. I am dedicated to walking with my clients on their journey to a healthier, happier life. I provide encouragement and motivation to all I serve, and I hold hope in my hands for those who may feel they have no hope.
Sometimes we just need help finding our way out...out of negative thinking, destructive behavior patterns and negative life cycles. I honestly believe the answers you search for are within in you. Let us work together to uncover those answers, explore new ways of thinking and behaving and heal (whether from past hurts or just navigating the stressors of today). I am deeply passionate about helping individuals become a better version of themselves. I ensure my clients feel and understand this is a safe and nonjudgmental environment where they can heal and learn to live a healthier more balanced life.

Candace is awesome! I’ve had a counselor in the past and it was very difficult for me to open up. I feel really comfortable being open and vulnerable with Candace and look forward to continue working with her!
