Steady support for life’s hardest chapters
I help adults living with cancer and people healing from trauma find steadier ground, from wherever they are in California.
You don’t have to carry this alone
Whether you’ve just heard a diagnosis, are in the middle of treatment, or are living with what happened long ago, therapy can be a place to slow down, be honestly heard, and find a way forward that feels like your own.
Living with cancer
Support through diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship, including the fear, grief, uncertainty, and changes to identity and relationships that cancer can bring.
Healing from trauma
Gentle, paced work with past or recent trauma, so painful memories can lose their grip and you can feel safer in your body and your life.
What we can work on together
Individual therapy
One-on-one sessions shaped around what you need right now, whether that’s coping skills, space to process, or support with a specific challenge.
EMDR therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a well-researched approach that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming. It can be done effectively online.
Hi, I’m Candace
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background in oncology social work, where I support people and families facing cancer. I’ve seen how much it matters to have someone who can sit with the hard parts and help you find your footing again.
I’m trained in EMDR and bring a warm, collaborative style to our work. I’m also a Reiki Master Practitioner, and that experience informs the calm, whole-person presence I try to offer every client.
