“Alchemy is the art of manipulating life and consciousness to help it evolve or to solve the problems of inner disharmony”
- Jean Dubuis
Alchemy, in its purest essence is the act of transformation. The chaos that has led you here today is the greatest work you can undertake in life, it is your Magnum Opus. Maybe you’re exhausted by the haunting memories of the past, you’re reactive and dysregulated, and maybe you even notice yourself vacillating between panic and immobility…instead of rehashing the past or waiting for the other shoe to drop, what if you could stop the chaos and reclaim both your joy and your power.
You don’t have to stay stuck reliving the horror of the past while wearing a mask to tell the outside world you’re okay. All parts of you are welcome here to pause and heal.

Therapy Offerings
Art Therapy
Sometimes there are no words for the horrors we’ve encountered in life. Art Therapy is a cognitive, somatic, kinesthetic, emotional, and spiritual form of healing. This is a gentle way to explore our parts, conflicts, challenges and feelings while building strengths in the artist identity. No training or skill is needed to benefit from this work! As an ATR-P, I hold a dual degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology and Art Therapy, I am also dually licensed as both a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado and nationally as an Art Therapist.
EMDR
Through the mindful use of bilateral stimulation, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is an accelerated form of trauma healing that is considered the gold standard in trauma treatment. In 2022 I completed additional requirements to become an EMDR-Certified therapist.
Psychedelic Assisted Therapy
An increasing amount of research is demonstrating the expedited rate of healing through integrated psychedelic experiences in the treatment of PTSD and Treatment Resistant Depression, to include endorsement from leading trauma expert Dr. Bessel van der Kolk. Throughout 2023 I completed a 200 hour social justice informed Psychedelic Assisted Therapy certificate program at Naropa University. I am very excited to bring Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy and other Psychedelic Assisted Therapy preparation and integration services to help you heal deeper when feeling stuck.
