Our Approach
At Alchemy Healing Arts, we are a wellness collective dedicated to expanding access to compassionate, affirming, and equitable care. Our practice is feminist-led, queer-affirming, and grounded in social justice principles. We affirm the inherent worth of all bodies and identities and stand in solidarity with communities that have been historically and systemically marginalized, including Black, Indigenous, and trans individuals. We approach healing as a collaborative process, grounded in the belief that each person holds deep wisdom about their own lived experience. Our role is to offer skilled support, insight and guidance — walking alongside you as you reconnect with yourself and move toward greater well-being.
Our Mission
Alchemy Healing Arts understands the inherent vulnerability required for healing and recognizes that to hold space for another’s healing is not only a privilege, but also a responsibility. We acknowledge the colonial, historical, and systemic abuse and violence that has been perpetuated by so-called healing systems, institutions, and spaces. Our core practitioners are committed to being lifelong students of decolonized and harm-minimization practices for therapeutic facilitation, and we work together to create supportive spaces of healing.
Who We Are
The clinicians at Alchemy Healing Arts are independent therapists and healers sharing a supportive space.
Each provider offers a free consultation. Please contact them individually to schedule a time.

Many of my clients have told me that during our time working together, this is what they've noticed - their boundaries are stronger, they have a better understanding of their patterns, they're more in touch with what they want and need, and they're trusting their intuition in a way that didn't feel possible before. If all of that sounds good to you, or if you’re just looking for a therapist who is queer AF, laid back, direct, and drops a swear word at least once per session, we might be a good therapeutic match!

In practice, I utilize EMDR and other therapeutic strategies to help transform and reorient subconscious parts toward becoming inner allies for our higher selves. I am most recognized for my skills in helping adults recover from past childhood abuse and trauma.
