Additionally, she has experience working with individuals suffering from autoimmune conditions and chronic pain, recognizing their implications for daily life and mental health.

A Message From Candace:
“After spending years hearing women express, “you’re the first person who has listened to me in [insert x amount of ghastly years],” I decided to go back to school for additional training in Psychiatry. I care about you AND your wonderful brain! I know finding the best treatment can be confusing and scary. I offer a gentle and compassionate approach to care, that focuses on informing you of your choices and supporting and empowering you through life’s many transitions.”
