You can start right where you are
Some things change.
Everything feels different.
Maybe you’ve lost someone. Maybe a familiar chapter has ended. Or maybe, from the outside, things look much the same—but being you feels different.
Here, there’s room for the complicated parts. The things you can name, and the things you’re still finding words for. We can begin with what’s here, without rushing to make it something else.

The person beside you
Hi, I’m Mara.
I’m here to listen.
I’m interested in your life as you experience it. Not just the version that’s easiest to explain.
