Christian Counseling

Find healing and hope through a blend of faith and evidence-based counseling.

Our evidence-based Christian counseling is a holistic, biblical integrative approach that combines faith and the principles of psychology to enhance mental wellness. At the core of Christian counseling is the focus on heart change and emotional healing, rooted in a deep understanding of biblical truths. We assist you in uncovering how your past experiences influence your present and shape your future, all through the lens of a Biblical Worldview. Our dedicated counselor creates a therapeutic space that seamlessly blends research-driven clinical interventions with the wisdom and comfort of biblical scripture. Through this process, we aim to guide you on a transformative journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth, helping you to learn more about your path and deepen your connection to God. Whether you're facing personal struggles, relational challenges, or seeking a closer relationship with Christ, our compassionate counselor is here to support and guide you every step of the way.

Meet our Christian Counselor:

I graduated with my Master’s in the Science of Counseling and have my Associate Counselor License (LAC) within New Jersey. I grew up in a Christian home that was built on Biblical values and principles. I have personally seen how the Lord has worked in my life through the struggles of mental health within my family. Watching the implications of mental health unfold in our home made me passionate about pursuing counseling as a career. I had a passion for art, for loving people, and for loving the Lord. I received my Bachelor’s which was a dual major in both Biblical Studies and Counseling and a Master’s in the Science of Counseling. I hope to eventually pursue a Master’s in Art Therapy.

I attended Christian universities that taught counseling through a Biblical lens. The Bible is an integrative tool that I use within my sessions if the client expresses interest in the Christian component. I will never preach the bible or the values of religion, but simply use it as a guide through your therapeutic journey.

Candace also writes for our Hidden Gem’s blog where she compiles all of the local spots to promote our social and emotional wellness by connecting with our South Jersey community and small businesses.
