About Candice
I am a wife, dog mom, and mountain biker in British Columbia who loves to be outside and being active.
​
I am a professional art therapist who has received specialized training in art therapy. I work from a client-centered and strengths-based perspective to empower clients in gaining or building the strength to understand and advocate your needs and what you would like for your healing journey.
I believe in the power of mind-body connection and use approaches such as Positive Art Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment theory (ACT) and Neurobiologically Informed Trauma Therapy.
​
During working hours, I am employed by Interior Health as the Concurrent Mental Health and Substance Use Clinician with the Integrated Child and Youth Team.
​
I specialize in working with neurodiverse abilities, specifically, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and their parents or caregivers.
I also have a special interest in working with athletes to help understand the impact of anxiety and pressure that can affect performance.
(Individual with FASD)
"I had more than a couple life events that i had experienced become long standing trauma/shame on my psyche which found no resolution with talk therapy. I believed before art therapy that we just have to live with the residual effect of certain things and that's how it is. I don't believe that now. I will just say what i have been telling others - art therapy was incredible. like seriously, it changed my life."

"Candice has a real gift of insight and encouragement as she provides a safe place for healing. Art therapy gave me an opportunity to explore and express my internal struggle in bold and creative ways, which helped me understand myself better."
(Women Who Ride, Mountain Bike Empowerment Group)
"The journey I took through the process of art therapy with Candice was like no other that i had experienced. a sense of excitement struck me before each class. A sense of calmness, curiosity and safety flowed over me during each class. Candice created a safe space for me to experiment and discover my inner self through art.”
