Have you ever heard of the term "Kintsugi" before? It's an ancient Japanese art form wherein an artist takes the broken pieces of a vase, and mends the cracks back together to restore the art piece. Each crack is then highlighted with strokes of shimmery, golden paint. Kintsugi encourages the artist to heartily and radically embrace the pottery's scars to reveal a new and enriched beauty. I have always been inspired by the redeeming process of the Kintsugi art, especially as it relates to counseling. The very art form itself seems to question why brokenness should invalidate worth, pride, beauty, and value.

Perhaps you feel like the brokenness you have encountered in life has left you to question your own worth. Instead of memories highlighted by strokes of gold, you might have interpersonal strife, crippling anxiety, suicidal thoughts, or a sadness so great you wonder if anyone could ever find you in its depths.

I want to invite you to come find a genuine belief in your own value. I want to encourage you to come partner with me as we honor these moments of brokenness and embrace profound healing. In doing so, I believe that your soul will begin to know its infinite worth in the here and now.
