Kintsugi: “Golden Joinery”
This phrase is part of the Japanese art of joining broken objects with gold dust and lacquer. Because the “flaw” reveals its history, resulting in a piece being considered more beautiful. Life is hard and can often leave us broken. Therapy is the gold dust that helps us to “piece together” your healing story and mend yourself with love. In this space we work as a team to find realistic tools through talk, play, art, and education as a practical means to healing. Learning that our “scars” are not something to be hidden with shame, but to be displayed with pride.
One Little Spark
I consider myself a rarity as an Asheville native. I love to travel to soothe my gypsy soul but, my mountains consistently call me wherever I go so, there is nothing like home. When I’m not online my focus is on my other loves: My Faith, Disney, K-pop/dramas, Travel, Hockey, Art, and Being a Dog Mom.
These Little Sparks constantly open me up to new experiences and perspectives which I believe allow me to relate in multiple capacities. I have grown to love my varied interests as they have allowed me to connect and cultivate therapeutic relationships in unimaginable ways.
