About Candice
With 20 years of experience in clinical practice, I have had the pleasure of working with a diverse range of clients and am currently welcoming new clients.
I’m so glad you’re found your way here!
Professional Background – Clinical Counsellor | Educator | Consultant
I hold a Masters of Education in Counselling Psychology from the University of Victoria, and did my undergraduate degree in Child and Youth Care also from the University of Victoria. I have been a BC Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) since 2007, and have extensive experience providing counselling, education, and consulting services to individuals residing in BC through in-person, online, and telephone sessions. I am committed to providing a down-to-earth, therapeutic space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered as they navigate their personal challenges.
With two decades of experience in clinical practice, I have had the pleasure of working with a diverse range of clients on various issues, however my areas of specialization and focus include the following:
**Women’s Mental Health & Wellbeing**
**Anxiety- Generalized Anxiety Disorder / Panic / OCD / Phobias**
**Stress / Burnout**
**Loss / Grief**
**Addiction** (substance use & process addictions)
**Life Transitions**
**Disordered Eating / Eating Disorders / Body Image**
**Perimenopause / Menopause**
**Self-Worth / Self-Love**
**Relationship Challenges**
**Separation / Divorce**
**Chronic Illness / Chronic Pain**
**Fertility Issues / Infertility**
**Mood / Depression**
**Perinatal Mental Health**
My Approach to Therapy
My therapeutic approach is integrative and collaborative, combining multiple modalities to best support and suit your journey. Some modalities I incorporate are:
– Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
– Exposure Response Therapy (ERT)
– Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
– Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT)
– Cognitive Processing Therapy for Trauma (CPT)
– Solution-Focused Therapy
– Mindfulness Practices …(among others).
In addition to the above, I draw from neuroscience and trauma-informed perspectives to ensure a deeper understanding of how the brain and body respond to stress, trauma, and change. Recognizing the powerful connection between the mind and body, I incorporate therapies that honour this relationship, fostering holistic wellness & emotional freedom.
I believe in creating an environment of acceptance, where we can incorporate humour when appropriate, and maintain humility as we move through the therapeutic process.
Throughout my career, I have taught university level courses, facilitated psycho-educational groups, and offered group therapy. In recent years, I have expanded my approach by providing online opportunities for individuals to connect in virtual group settings- an approach that has been found to be a powerful way for support, learning, and sharing to take place.
I would describe my style as:
-Authentic
-Approachable
-Empowering
-Compassionate
-Straightforward
-Practical
-Insightful
-Encouraging
I look forward to connecting and supporting you in your journey. Please feel free to reach out via email or schedule a complimentary 15 minute appointment to determine suitability.
