Set Your Path
When problems overtake our lives or linger indefinitely, our goals may slip farther away, leaving us feeling unworthy, less capable and destined to endure the emotional pain in secret. The good news is these problems and feelings are common, identifiable and treatable. I can help you identify factors influencing your ability to choose and pave a new path for your future.
I will provide a safe and accepting climate for you to cultivate a valued life path and enriching relationships. Using my experience in mindfulness, acceptance, emotional intelligence, perspective taking, I will help you face life's obstacles skillfully and purposefully, and reconnect with your strengths, interests and values.
My multidisciplinary approach, drawn from ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), Attachment science, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), MI (Motivational Interviewing), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), and EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) for couples, can help you develop the resilience and flexibility necessary to achieve meaningful and sustainable long-term growth.
Revitalize
Poetically translated to “golden joinery,” Kintsugi, or Kintsukuroi, is the centuries-old Japanese art of fixing broken pottery. Rather than rejoin ceramic pieces with a camouflaged adhesive, the Kintsugi technique employs a special tree sap lacquer dusted with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. Once completed, beautiful seams of gold glint in the conspicuous cracks of ceramic wares, giving a one-of-a-kind appearance to each “repaired” piece.
This unique method celebrates each artifact’s unique history by emphasizing its fractures and breaks instead of hiding or disguising them.
In fact, Kintsugi often makes the repaired piece even more beautiful than the original, revitalizing it with a new look and giving it a second life.
A quick note: we are not broken, but sometimes feel broken. Thank you to Jake who provided this rich metaphor to inform his work and to Choose ACT.
