About Me

After working as an elementary and middle school science teacher for five years, I pursued a career as a psychologist because I enjoy helping people find ways to live healthier, more productive lives. My philosophy of care focuses on initially establishing a strong therapeutic relationship which balances support with challenge. Over the course of treatment, I explore the problem, facilitate insight, and identify behavioral changes which promote wellness


Dr. Candice is a Psychologist with Baptist Health in Jacksonville, FL.  She serves a sports psychology consultant with the NFL Jacksonville Jaguars and others of all ages and sports.
