Welcome to Archetypal Alchemy 

 

At the core of our being lies an extraordinary power – the innate ability to transform our lives from the inside out. Just as ancient alchemists sought to turn base metals into gold, we possess the capacity to transmute our challenges into opportunities, our wounds into wisdom, and our dreams into reality. The healing is in understanding our psychic chemistry to alchemize aspects of our life to maintain balance and harmony in our inner and outer worlds. In our work together, I will act as a guide for you to awaken the alchemist within. 

 

Mind Body Medicine 

 

I believe that when we encounter resistance in ourselves and can learn to observe and find ways to move beyond that old fear based pattern and move into a place of greater freedom and expansion. Our bodies are storytellers. They retain and remember our lives through the sensations we have experienced. When life becomes overwhelming, whether from a specific event or exhaustion over time, we can enhance the healing process by tending to our body’s stories.  

My approach is rooted in the belief that healing is a deeply personal and unique process. I create a nurturing space where you can safely explore your story, connect with your inner strength, and discover the resilience that has always been within you. Together, we'll navigate the terrain of your experiences with compassion, understanding, and a focus on your inherent capacity for self-awakening. I'm deeply honored to witness the unfolding of your unique journey and to offer the insights I've gained through my own healing process. Let's embark on this transformative journey together, honoring your story and unlocking the healing potential that resides within you.

 

Honoring Your Journey

My approach is holistic and trauma-informed, inviting you to listen to the innate wisdom of your body and heart while moving at a pace that honors your nervous system.

Offerings include Somatic Experiencing®, counseling services, yoga classes, and archetypal story work. Sessions are designed to support regulation, integration, and reconnection with your inherent strength and sense of inner authority. Whether you are local to Sedona or joining from elsewhere, sessions are available both in person and online.

                   About Me 

My work is informed by both lived experience and clinical training, grounded in a deep respect for the psyche’s innate capacity to heal. Early experiences of trauma, addiction, and depression shaped my path and led me toward somatic, attachment-based, and shamanic healing not as a way to fix what was broken, but to remember what was always whole.

I began my clinical work as a counselor in a psychiatric hospital, supporting individuals through acute crisis, trauma, and addiction, with a strong foundation in trauma-informed care and nervous system regulation. Alongside this, my path has woven through jungian psychology, embodiment practice, and ceremonial traditions, where meaning, symbolism, and the body’s wisdom are central to healing.

At Archetypal Alchemy, I integrate the clinical and the mystical. I am a certified trauma counselor, Kundalini Yoga Teacher, and Somatic Experiencing® practitioner-in-training. I walk beside clients as a steady guide, honoring the body as a primary site of healing and supporting the return to embodied presence, inner authority, and self-trust.
