FAQs
I offer Depth Psychotherapy as well as Astrology Readings, Astrological Counseling, & Single-Session Therapy to those seeking healing, clarity, insight, new possibilities, and deep meaning in life.
Below are frequently asked questions about what to expect and my policies.
What to Expect
In astrology readings and one-time sessions, we psychologically explore your unique astrological signature for greater insight and awareness about your Self, as well as cultivating your capacity for personal self-development. This sessions may also include tarot and other oracles.
​
An individual session tends to provide answers as well as new questions! It's a great place to start.
​
Depth psychotherapy continues this process, moving deeper into your inner world. In depth psychotherapy, we work through challenging situations and patterns of behavior to allow new life & growth to emerge.
​
Depth psychotherapy often feels subtle and works slowly over time, yet is deeply transformative.
​
My approach is humanistic, person-centered, relational, and psychodynamic. This means that we are exploring who you are and what your psyche (soul) is expressing through your feelings, thoughts, desires, fantasies, dreams, synchronicities, and astrology.

I would be honored to accompany you on your journey.

My Approach
My approach is grounded in my studies as well as my own personal experiences in astrology, tarot, divination, and depth psychotherapy. Clients have described my work as empathetic, intuitive, compassionate, and nonjudgemental.
​
My psychological framework is rooted in depth psychology, psychoanalytic, psychodynamic, transpersonal, Jungian sandplay, humanistic, emotionally focused therapy, feminist psychology, and culturally sensitive approaches.
​
In my astrological framework, I draw from a blend of contemporary and ancient astrology traditions (Hellenistic, Traditional, Psychological, & Archetypal Astrology). I use the tropical zodiac and the Whole Sign House system. I'm happy to use other house systems (Placidus, Koch, etc.) based on your preference.
​
Overall, my intention is to accompany you on your life's path. Together we work through challenges so you can leave with more clarity, insight, and empowerment.
