If you are feeling unwell and have an in-person session scheduled within 48 hours, please contact Candace to arrange a video session in lieu of coming into the office.

About Nexus Counselling Services: A Uniquely Feminist Approach to Counselling, Coaching & Assessment
Being in the nexus of something means you are right in the middle of it.
Hence, easy to feel overwhelmed by the multitude of things coming at you.
At Nexus, I will work with you within the context of a nonjudgmental, collaborative and healing therapeutic relationship to parse out and clearly see the interwoven links and connections that contribute to how you experience, perceive and interpret life's challenges, difficulties and obstacles. By understanding these connections, we can separate what is important to you and focus on your goal(s) to improve your mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.
I work with adults including men, women, LGBTQ community, veterans and first responders from different walks of life with various types of life issues and varying degrees of psychological disorders. Since graduating in 2013 with my Master's degree, my developing specialty is largely focused on working with clients affected by Dissociative Disorders and PTSD and have accumulated over 6500 clinical hours with this population.
Unique to my work with clients is the belief that each individual is just that - an individual. As such, my approach to working with clients is both unique and integrative; drawing on multiple tools and techniques from various psychological frameworks and philosophies - all of which are practiced from a Feminist, Cultural-Relational perspective.
