Welcome ~

Thank you for taking the time to visit Alchemy Counseling. I trust that you have been drawn here by the desire to heal or change an aspect of your life in some way.

I have chosen the term alchemy to represent my counseling practice because the ancient metaphor of transformation speaks to me as a therapist. The process of therapy is a transformative endeavor. Whether you are working through the pain of grief, healing or transitioning a relationship, working to overcome anxiety or depression, or releasing obstacles to the manifestation of your dreams, a change is required. Be it one of perception, behavior, or emotional response, this shift that occurs as a result of the work we do together in therapy is what I refer to as the alchemy of counseling.

I characterize the type of therapy I practice as holistic psychotherapy,  a unifying approach aimed at guiding my clients in their reclamation of wholeness. I believe that the psychological, spiritual, and physical dimensions of the individual are intricately interwoven. I do not engage in bodywork; however,  helping people to resolve issues by aligning the wisdom of the mind, body, and spirit  is part of my practice. Conscious integration of these elements combined with practical psychotherapeutic methods and tools creates a powerful fusion for creating change, growth, and balance in one’s life.

I hope you will consider allowing me to support you in bringing resolution and transformation to whatever concern you are experiencing right now. In releasing what no longer serves,  it is possible for you to experience a shift which will bring you closer to your authentic self and to the wholeness that is your natural birthright. From this vantage point, you can see your own reality in a more radiant light, and in the words of Henry David Thoreau, “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.”
