Hi, I’m Kandice.
Kandice works with kids, teens, adults, couples & families.
If you’re looking for therapy that feels a little more real and a little less clinical, you’ll probably feel comfortable here. I’m the kind of therapist who is perfectly fine if you want to sit cross-legged, ramble a bit, or drop a few swear words if that’s your thing.
My approach to therapy is relaxed, genuine, and sometimes lightly sarcastic — think best-friend energy with therapist credentials. I believe healing happens best when you feel safe, understood, and just challenged enough to grow, without feeling judged, talked down to, or like you’re “doing therapy wrong.”
I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families who are navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, grief, relationship stress, parenting overload, and major life transitions.
I also have a special place in my heart for caregivers who are running on empty, women navigating pregnancy and postpartum changes, and individuals healing from experiences like domestic violence, sexual abuse, PTSD, self-harm, or suicidal thoughts.
In our work together, we’ll focus on coping skills that actually work in real life — things like managing stress, improving sleep, setting boundaries, regulating emotions, strengthening relationships, and quieting the brain that won’t turn off at night. I’ll support you, validate you, and yes, sometimes gently call you out when it helps you move forward. Growth doesn’t have to be miserable, but it does require honesty.
I’m also proudly sex-positive and kink-allied, and I aim to create a judgment-free space where clients can talk openly about relationships, identity, intimacy, and anything else they may have felt they weren’t “supposed” to talk about.
Whether you’re coming in for yourself, your child, or your relationship, my goal is simple: to help you feel more confident, capable, and grounded so you can start living your life — not just surviving it.
Come as you are. We’ll figure it out together.
Kandice accepts private pay as well as BCBS, Aetna, and UHC insurance plans.
My Approach
Let’s be real
Kandice is known for being a therapist who is both compassionate and refreshingly direct. She believes therapy works best when conversations are honest, real, and grounded in what’s actually happening in your life. While she offers plenty of empathy and support, she’s also not afraid to gently challenge patterns or call attention to things that may be keeping you stuck.
Clients often appreciate her straightforward approach because it helps sessions feel productive and authentic rather than overly clinical or surface-level. Kandice aims to create a space where you can be fully yourself while also receiving clear, thoughtful feedback that helps you grow, build insight, and move forward with confidence.
But also compassionate
Kandice approaches therapy through a compassionate, trauma-informed lens. She understands that many of the behaviors, emotions, and coping patterns people carry developed as ways to survive difficult or overwhelming experiences. Rather than focusing on judgment or “fixing” someone, her work centers on creating a safe and supportive space where clients feel respected, heard, and understood.
Kandice is mindful of how trauma can impact the nervous system, relationships, and sense of self. She works collaboratively with clients, moving at a pace that feels safe while helping them build skills for emotional regulation, self-compassion, and healing. Her goal is to help clients feel empowered in their process while developing a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences.
