Hi, I’m Candace—founder of Tetra Counseling and a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over a decade of experience providing therapy for adults.

I offer evidence-based therapy in a way that’s both compassionate and direct. I’ll meet you with zero judgment—but I won’t sit back and nod while you stay stuck. If something isn’t working, we’ll call it out. If you’re avoiding something important, we’ll go there.

My approach combines practical, actionable strategies with proven methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma, and trauma-informed care. That means we’re not just talking—we’re building skills, processing what’s keeping you stuck, and doing the kind of work that actually leads to real relief.

I specialize in therapy for OCD, trauma/PTSD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and career stress. I work with adults who feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, intrusive thoughts, burnout, or disrupted sleep—and are ready to make real, lasting changes.

I take this work seriously—and I expect you to show up and do the same. Therapy is most effective when you’re willing to engage in the process. I’ll guide you, challenge you, and support you every step of the way.

And while we’re doing hard things, there’s still room for humor. Growth doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time.

If you’re looking for a therapist who offers direct feedback, practical tools, and a clear path forward—and you’re ready to do the work—Tetra Counseling is here to help.
