Hi, I’m Candi, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of Anchored Therapy in Mesa, Arizona.
I work with individuals and couples who may appear high functioning on the outside, yet internally feel overwhelmed, disconnected, emotionally exhausted, stuck in painful patterns, or unsure how to move forward. Many of the people I work with are navigating relationship struggles, burnout, grief, transitions, anxiety, parenting stress, spiritual questions, or seasons where they’ve lost connection to themselves, others, or God.
My approach is relational, attachment-based, nervous-system-informed, and compassionate. I believe healing happens in safe, steady relationships, not through perfection or performance. Therapy with me is not about “fixing” people, but about creating space to slow down, increase self-awareness, process experiences with honesty and care, and reconnect with the internal resources already present within them.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent nearly two decades working in full-time ministry with university students, which deeply shaped my love for people, relationships, emotional growth, and faith integration. I welcome clients who desire to incorporate their faith into the therapeutic process, while also honoring each person’s unique story and pace.
At the heart of Anchored Therapy is the belief that we all need places of steadiness during uncertain seasons …spaces where we can feel seen, supported, and safely reconnect to what matters most.
Statement of Faith
“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.” — Hebrews 6:19
My faith is an important part of how I view people, healing, and relationships. I believe every person carries inherent dignity, value, and the capacity for growth and restoration. I believe healing often happens through safe relationships, honesty, compassion, and connection with God, self, and others.
Anchored Therapy is rooted in the belief that we were never meant to carry life’s challenges alone. For clients who desire it, I am comfortable integrating faith into the therapeutic process in a way that feels supportive, authentic, and client-led.
Offers
Couples' Therapy
I offer 80-minute couples therapy sessions for couples located in Arizona, available both in person and virtually.
My work with couples is focused on helping partners slow down, reconnect, and better understand the deeper patterns impacting their relationship. Together, we work toward healthier communication, emotional safety, repair after conflict, and rebuilding connection and trust.
I integrate attachment-focused, trauma-informed, and emotionally attuned approaches to help couples move beyond surface-level disagreements and into deeper understanding, healing, and intimacy. Whether you’re feeling disconnected, stuck in recurring conflict, navigating betrayal or transition, or simply wanting to strengthen your relationship, therapy can become a space for honesty, growth, and renewed connection.
For clients who desire it, I also thoughtfully integrate faith into the therapy process, creating space for spiritual values, questions, and beliefs to be part of the healing and growth journey.
Anchored Therapist Community
Therapists spend much of their time holding space for others...but rarely have space held for them.
Anchored Therapist is a community to slow down, connect with fellow clinicians, and engage in meaningful professional and relational growth. It’s a steady space to exchange ideas, share insight, and remain grounded in the work you do.
We gather regularly in-person to learn from one another and from local AZ therapists sharing their areas of specialty.
Individual Therapy
I offer individual therapy sessions for adults in Arizona, available both in person and virtually.
My approach is compassionate, relational, and trauma-informed, helping clients better understand themselves, process difficult experiences, and move toward greater clarity, healing, and emotional wholeness.
Many of the individuals I work with are highly capable people who feel internally overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to shift on their own. Therapy offers a space to slow down, explore what’s underneath the surface, and reconnect with your values, identity, relationships, and faith in a grounded and authentic way.
I integrate attachment-based therapy, parts work, and nervous system awareness to support meaningful and lasting change. For clients who would like to incorporate faith into their work, I welcome thoughtful integration of spirituality, prayer, and Christian perspectives as part of the therapeutic process.
