Therapist

Grace Nakamura, MS, LMFT

she/her

“Some conversations need a room, a chair, and a person who isn't going anywhere. I keep that room.”

Grace anchors Aurora's in-person practice. Her office — the one with the good afternoon light — hosts grief work, relationship repair, and the quiet identity questions that come with caring for aging parents, raising kids, or both at once.

She sees individuals and couples, including intergenerational family sessions.

Works with

• Grief & loss
• Relationships & couples
• Life transitions

How Grace works

• Emotionally focused therapy

  For couples: slow the argument down and find the longing underneath the protest.

• Psychodynamic therapy

  Understand the patterns underneath — how your history shows up, uninvited, in your present.

• Mindfulness-based approaches

  Train the skill of stepping out of autopilot — observing thoughts and feelings without being run by them.
