About me

I am passionate about the work that I do and as a result, my greatest reward as a therapist is being able to empower my clients to help them explore the ways that they can promote their own growth, achieve goals and live a healthier and happier life. My approach or style to therapy is tailored to each of my clients in order to meet their individual needs throughout the therapeutic process. My goal is to provide a comfortable, supportive and safe therapeutic space for each client. If you are ready to embark on your journey to lead a more fulfilling life, I will be more than happy to help guide you along the way.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family, reading, watching movies, collecting anything related to Harry Potter and traveling, especially to the backcountry of Colorado. I have a Chihuahua named Bella who is 12 years old, but still incredibly spunky!

I have a bachelor's degree in psychology with a concentration in human development from DePaul University. I also have a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a concentration in children and adolescents from Lewis University.

I have 5 years of experience working in the mental health field in various settings, such as, residential, inpatient, outpatient and therapeutic day schools. In these settings, I have provided crisis intervention services, as well as, individual, group and family therapy for children, adolescents, adults and older adult populations. I am skilled in providing therapy not only for children and adolescents, but for adults as well. Currently, I also work as an intake counselor in a hospital setting, where I provide solution focused therapy in order to help patients transition to their next level of care. My areas of interest include, but are not limited to anxiety, mood disorders, life transitions, child and adult ADHD, LGBTQ issues, physical and sexual abuse and other traumas.

Currently, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Illinois and Colorado. I am also working towards obtaining my LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) in the state of Illinois.

Candice was very good at listening and offering advice on how to deal with my marital struggles. Ultimately she helped encourage me to seek marital therapy with my spouse. I found it a great comfort to hear from her daily. Thank you.

In the short time I've talked to Candice, she has helped me so much. She has made things more clear to me. I can't thank her enough. I would recommend her to my friends and colleagues if they ever needed help.

I've never had this support. I am so thankful.

I've only been working with Candice for a short period, but so far she's been very helpful and compassionate. She's very competent and has already started helping me make progress on my goals. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with her.

In-person therapy is generally more helpful for me, but when I'm in a phase of life like now where I either can't find a nearby therapist or my schedule won't allow it consistently, I like being able to get my thoughts out and work things out with someone online. Candice has been incredibly helpful and understanding, and has greatly improved my online therapy experience. It's been a great tool to have and I appreciate all her help!
