New favorite metaphor that gives broken relationships hope!
Kintsugi is an ancient Japanese technique of preparing precious ceramics using gold. Porcelain is valuable, in part, because it is fragile. It is delicate and thus weak.

Guiding Couples, Families & Individuals to Repair, Recover & Thrive in the Central Valley
What are the best moments you’ve ever experienced? Who could you...Just...Not...Wait...to share them with? Sometimes our close relationships get injured, and turn painful. I help couples through injuries and issues (like affairs and chronic conflict). I can assist people who have experienced trauma, turn their pain into something powerful they can use for the good of all around them. I make sure to connect with clients and work with them from a person-centered approach to accomplish what’s important to them. I also enjoy creating a unique and creative treatment approach that can involve less traditional models like motivation interviewing (useful for addiction problems), as well as solution focused and narrative approaches that are high in creativity and story-telling.
