Approaches
I use a flexible, integrative approach tailored to your needs to support insight, emotional regulation, and meaningful change.
Kintsugi, a Japanese art form, repairs broken pottery by highlighting the cracks with precious metals like gold or silver. Just as kintsugi transforms broken pots into unique, beautiful objects, our imperfections and setbacks forge our strengths and resilience.
