Individual Therapy
In Japanese culture, the art of kintsugi celebrates the imperfection of broken pottery by repairing the object using gold. Individual therapy is much like this process. Your mistakes and struggles are a valuable part of you and your history. Through therapy, you can redefine your relationship with yourself and develop gratitude for your perceived imperfections. Often, to heal, we must first break open.
There is beauty in brokenness.

You can change the way you relate to your struggles, deconstruct and rewrite narratives about femininity and create meaning and lasting change in your life. To be a woman in today’s society, the pressure and unrealistic expectations have never been greater. It’s not surprising that many women and female-identifying individuals experience shame and feelings of inadequacy.
