About Candice (she/they)

I am a queer, trans-inclusive feminist therapist based in Houston, Texas. I specialize in working with clients exploring their gender, sexual, or romantic identity and survivors of sexual trauma.

I am passionate about LGBTQ+ rights, intersectional feminism, and anti-racism. I know that social progress is similar to psychological progress--both take perseverance, time, and a willingness to look at painful truths. I believe therapy should be a collaborative process, built on mutual respect and authenticity. You are the expert of your own experience, and my role is to provide a safe, supportive, non-judgmental place for you to process your emotions and create a path moving forward.

In my downtime I like to read non-fiction, scroll through Reddit, and watch really terrible horror movies with my wife and our three dogs, Cooper, Tova, and Cane.

I have presented on Anti-racist Counseling and Sexual Trauma at the state level. I've also trained officers of the Houston Police Department on the Neurobiology of Trauma, and other direct services providers on topics including Cultural Diversity and Counseling Survivors with Disabilities. I was an expert panelist at the University of Houston's forum "From Shame to Healing: The Journey of the Spiritual/Religious Survivor." I hold a Masters in Counseling Psychology from the University of Houston, as well as two Bachelor’s degrees—one in Religious Studies and one in Journalism—from the University of Texas at Austin (Hook 'em!).
