Professional statement

Candace is a deeply compassionate and intuitive counselor dedicated to fostering a nurturing and safe space for her clients to explore and understand their emotions. She steadfastly believes that establishing a robust therapeutic bond paves the way for meaningful self-exploration, allowing clients to address underlying challenges and emotions without reservation.

Drawing from a cognitive behavioral framework (CBT), Candace integrates person-centered and mindfulness techniques, tailoring her approach to ensure that each client progresses towards becoming their most authentic self. Her attentive nature and commitment to active listening guarantee that every client feels genuinely seen, heard, and valued.

Candace earned her Bachelor's in Psychology and her Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Hunter College.
