About Candice

Candice’s story is a poignant reflection of God’s grace, mercy, and miraculous emotional and physical healing. Candice has been healed of Chrone’s disease, and emotional swings of anxiety, and depression, as well as low self-esteem. She lost her father at the age of nine from a sudden heart attack, and was heartbroken for many years. After her dad’s death, she could not forgive God for the loss of her father. For years Candice carried bitterness and resentment in her heart towards God. This in effect prevented her from receiving God’s love and the love of others. This unforgiveness and pain led her down many paths of destruction before finding the love and freedom she so desired in Christ.

When she was 23, and her husband was on deployment in the US Navy, God met Candice during a severe bout with depression and anxiety. Regardless of the fact that no medical doctors could find anything wrong with Candice physically, she was without hope and in despair. One night before crying herself to sleep she cried out to the Lord for a healing saying, “If you can hear me, Lord, and you are there. I can’t get myself out of this one, please help me.” And God in his mercy and love reached down and touched Candice in her sleep. The next morning she awoke with NO PAIN at all in her heart or spirit. She was free. This set her on a journey of finding out who Jesus really was and why he cared for her individually. No longer was He a BIG God that only cared for big things, He was now personal and attentive. She was diagnosed with Chrone’s disease and upon this healing she was tested, and it was discovered that she had no traces of Chrone’s disease any longer.At the age of 28, God began to work in Candice’s heart to call her into a Christian counseling ministry. She accepted the call at about the time her first child was born. After a few years of having children, she then committed to ministry and entered a formal education curriculum in the integration of theology and psychology.

Candice successfully completed her Masters in Human Relations at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. She is currently working toward her doctorate in Counseling from Liberty University in Lynchburgh, VA. She has also completed her Masters in Theology from the International College of Excellence in Tinley Park, Illinois.
