"Candice has been an invaluable resource for our family. Our son, who is gifted, had trouble managing his emotions and often shut down under pressure. Through Candice’s coaching, we learned practical strategies to support him, and he’s now more confident and able to handle challenges at school and at home. As parents, we feel much more equipped to help him navigate his struggles."

-Parent of 12 year old

"I have seen remarkable and positive changes in my daughter after working with Candice. I also participated in coaching with my daughter for six months and was very pleased with the outcome. Thanks to Candice, my daughter and I have developed a much deeper understanding of each other. Candice held both of us accountable in a kind and empathetic way, while ensuring we stayed focused on the work. She helped us share our concerns respectfully and find common ground. Additionally, Candice provided helpful references and tools during our sessions, which I greatly appreciated. I hold Candice in high regard and highly recommend her!" -K.C.
