Where I Came From
I grew up in a home that wasn't safe. Several stepdads. A grandfather whose presence I learned to fear before I had words for what was happening. A young body that knew, even when my mind didn't, that something was deeply wrong. By the time I was a teenager, I had built a part of me that didn't trust anyone.
What I Carried
For most of my adult life, I worked to redeem myself. To stuff down everything that had happened. To become someone different than the girl I had been. What I didn't know then is that the parts of me I was hiding were the very parts asking to be seen.
What I Found
The path back to myself wasn't fast. It wasn't dramatic. It was patient, slow, and built around one practice: learning to listen to the parts of me I had spent decades trying to outrun. I call this Story Work.
The Foundation Behind the Work.
When I'm not in the work.
Kandace lives in Missouri and is a mom, Yaya, and an advocate for normalizing asking for help.
She enjoys hiking, kayaking, writing, and listening to music and podcasts. Her favorite places to visit are wherever her grandkids are.
The way she lives and the work she does aren't separate things. The same compassion she brings to her clients is the same compassion she is still learning to give herself, every day.
Ready when you are.
The first step is a conversation. No pressure, no expectations - just a chance to see if this work is right for you.
