Transform Crisis Patterns
Build Inner Stability
Grow Without Collapse
Reclaim Your Life
Find your way back to yourself.
A different way to interrupt cycles of collapse, overwhelm, and self-sabotage
You've worked hard to change.
Gone to therapy.
Read the books.
Made the promises.
And yet...
One trigger.
One disappointment.
Even an unexpected success...
And suddenly...
You are caught in spirals of shame, chaos, and overwhelm,,,,
wondering
What the heck happened?
You are not broken.
You are tangled.
You've simply lost access to the part of yourself that knows how to live.
And that is where Untangling begins.
What If You
Are Fixating on
the Wrong Problem?
Most people believe they're missing discipline.
Willpower.
Motivation.
Or that something is fundamentally wrong with them.
But what if the problem isn't a lack of effort?
What if drinking...
Underearning.
Overspending.
Avoiding.
Cluttering.
Overworking.
People pleasing.
Perfectionism...
aren't the real problem at all?
What if they're attempts to solve something deeper—
invisible, unconscious threats quietly shaping your life?
Like an odorless gas...
they change the air you live in.
Quietly...
narrowing possibility.
eliminating choice.
dimming imagination.
Until survival begins to feel like home.
If this feels familiar...
you're not alone.
There Is
Another
Way
The truth is, you don't have to stay tangled.
As you untangle, something unexpected begins to happen.
You begin trusting yourself again.
Life begins to feel different.
Not because your problems disappear.
But because more of you is showing up for your life.
You begin responding instead of reacting.
Creating instead of protecting.
Connecting instead of withdrawing.
Living instead of enduring.
Little by little, you discover that the life you've been longing for isn't built by becoming someone else.
It is revealed as your life becomes organized around your true nature instead of your survival.
Your life becomes more fully your own.
This is the work of Untangling.

Discover
The Untangle
Method™
Every life becomes organized around something.
Most of us never realize what it is.
We only experience its effects—
the patterns we repeat...
the relationships we recreate...
the life we never quite live.
The Untangle Method™ helps you...
see what has been hidden...
strengthen the part of you capable of leading your life...
and reclaim the part of you that already knows how to thrive.
Because what we learn to see, we can begin to untangle.
“The Untangle Method™ is an ambitious and original approach that integrates classic psychological wisdom with current neuroscience, opening creative new pathways for recovery.”
— Marc Lewis, PhD
Neuroscientist and author of Memoirs of an Addicted Brain and The Biology of Desire
Life Begins
to
Open Again
As we untangle the protective patterns that have quietly limited our lives, we create space for something new to emerge.
Life no longer feels like something we must constantly manage.
It becomes something we can begin to participate in.
Little by little...
we become more available—
to love.
to create.
to rest.
to lead.
to belong.
Not because life becomes easier.
Because we have developed the capacity to hold more of life.
Ways to
Work
Together
The life you're longing for asks something more of you.
Not more willpower.
More capacity.
Sometimes we can build that capacity on our own.
Sometimes we need structure.
Sometimes we need practice.
Sometimes we need people who can hold hope for us until we can hold it ourselves.
Wherever you are right now, there is a place to begin.
Meet Angela
"I don't believe people are broken.
I believe they gradually lose access to the parts of themselves that know how to thrive.
My life's work has been helping people find their way back."
— Angela McKinney
For much of my life, the very things I longed for—love, success, visibility, and opportunity—were often the very things I couldn't sustain.
That experience began a lifelong search to understand why we lose access to ourselves—not only when life falls apart, but when it begins coming together—and what helps us find our way back.
Today, that search has become my life's work.
For more than twenty-five years, I've had the privilege of walking alongside people navigating recovery, trauma, burnout, grief, and life's major transitions.
Begin
with the
Book
The ideas behind The Untangle Method™ didn't begin as a program.
They began as questions.
Untangle: How to Create Big Possibilities Through Small Changes explores the hidden patterns that quietly organize our lives—and how small, intentional practices can create extraordinary transformation over time.
Whether you're beginning your journey or deepening work you've already started, the book offers another doorway into the philosophy behind Untangling.
Begin
Where
You Are
You don't have to have everything figured out.
You don't have to be certain.
You don't even have to know what comes next.
You simply need a place to begin.
Whether you're reaching out for yourself, someone you love, or a client in your care, we can begin with a conversation.
