We've been going to Families First for nearly 10 years. We've seen many providers and loved them all. I love that I can get in quickly when my kids are hurt or sick. No doubt they have the best pediatricians in the valley.
Candace was born and raised in Southern California but has seen a lot of the world as a member of the United States Air Force. While in the military, Candace traveled over the United States and United Kingdom, met the person she would marry, had five children, and was inspired to pursue a career working with kids and families
She earned a Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California in 2014, with a major in mental health and a minor in military lifestyle. She is a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Utah with experience working with kids and adults individually, in pairs, and in groups. She is trained in treating trauma, substance abuse, anxiety, depression, attachment disorders, complicated grief, OCD, bi-polar, personality disorders, neurological development deficits/delays, parenting skills, body image, and more.
Having grown up in a blended family and traveled all over the world as an adult, Candace appreciates the unique experiences each individual brings to their own care. With that in mind, Candace strives to create space for each client to feel safe and supported, regardless of religious, ethnic, cultural, sexual, or gender orientation.
