Introduction

Kintsugi is a Japanese art form of repairing broken pottery, not to hide the cracks, but to honor them with precious metals. It's not realistic to expect all pain and suffering to completely disappear, AND there are things we can do to reduce our suffering while embracing our imperfections. I look at therapy like Kintsugi.... you and I working together to honor the challenges you've faced, and figuring out how to put the pieces back together in a way that works for the life YOU want and deserve. I offer a relatable, compassionate, and action-based approach to helping you reach your goals. Together, we can work on your healing from the past and heading towards a life you can feel good about. It takes a lot of strength and self love to have gotten this far. I would be honored to chat with you to see if we'd be a good match on your journey!
