What brougHt me here
I was born in 1980 to an Irish Catholic family in a quaint suburb on Long Island, New York.
From the very beginning, I felt a little different. My mother said I came in with an old head. I was observant, quirky, and deeply curious about people and life.
When my parents divorced at age seven, my curiosity intensified. I couldn’t make sense of why people did what they did, or why the world seemed to operate in ways that felt so disconnected, chaotic, and contradictory.
The explanations I was given never quite satisfied me. I wanted to understand what was really going on beneath the surface. Around that same time, my physical vision began to deteriorate and I started wearing glasses.
As the external world blurred, my internal perception sharpened. Without realizing it, I began a lifelong inquiry into the depths of human nature, reality, and consciousness.
I didn’t dream of becoming an astrologer when I was little, but I knew at a young age that I came here to help people reconnect with something inexplicable. Astrology eventually became the language to help me do that.
Origins
Learning to See
By age nine, I stepped beyond the confines of Catholicism and became a born-again Christian. Three years later I stumbled on astrology, tarot, and druid practices in the most unlikely of places: a Christian bookstore.
Though I was told astrology was “the work of the devil”, something about it felt oddly familiar and relieving. It reflected something I had already begun to sense—that life wasn’t random, it had deep meaning woven into it.
I left the church at 14 after experiencing a profound betrayal that shook my trust in organized religion. It changed how I see power, truth, and the stories we’ve been told to believe in without question.
I continued to open my doors of perception through psychedelics, creative immersion, and the exploration of other spiritual disciplines in college. My degree in visual arts taught me how to see life differently and how to work with patterns, perspective, and contrast. It also introduced me to an ongoing dialogue with self-criticism and self-compassion.
To this day, my art background deeply informs how I perceive the world and how I approach my work with clients because: I don’t think in straight lines. I think in imagery, symbolism, and metaphor.
Thresholds + Initiations
I was misaligned with my inner compass in my twenties. I followed relationships rather than my own voice. I accepted jobs that paid the bills but left me bored and uninspired. On paper, my life looked relatively coherent. Internally, it was chaos. The dissonance eventually forced a crisis.
At 27 when my life started to unravel, a friend gifted me with my first professional astrology reading with renowned Santa Fe astrologer, Tom Brady.
Dramatic, but true: the experience changed my life.
It initiated me onto a path of spiritual awakening that helped me learn how to listen to myself despite my fear of disappointing others. I started to step off paths that weren’t mine and recalibrated my compass to my truth.
My Saturn Return included a divorce, a relocation to California, and graduate school for holistic counseling psychology. After graduation, I decided to follow my inclination to forge my own unique method of blending counseling with astrology.
A year later, I met a man at Burning Man. Fifteen years later we’re married and raising two children and three dogs. While pregnant with my first born, I suddenly lost hearing in my right ear—a loss that continues to challenge me, but has also heightened my intuition and refined my listening skills.
All of this to say, I’m no stranger to adaptation and I’m familiar with finding a way through even when it feels like there isn’t one.
I know what it means to live differently, to breakthrough prescribed boxes, and to stand in my truth even when that invites misunderstanding. It’s not been an easy path, but a deeply rewarding one.
Where I Landed
I didn’t arrive where I am today because of certainty. I arrived here because I continued to ask questions. That same curiosity lives at the center of my work with clients.
I’m wired to hold the paradox that exists in the spaces where beliefs restructure, identities shift, and ways of being no longer fit. I’ve learned that moments of change aren’t always detours, they’re initiations that guide us toward alignment.
I’ve also come to see that many people want confirmation that they’re ok. They want permission to relax into who they are so they can move through life with greater freedom. I consider astrology a tool that does just that. It gives us permission to be who we really are.
People tend to find their way to me when they’re seeking something beyond traditional therapy or coaching, and when they need a different perspective that orients them to something new.
My approach liberates people from paradigms they’ve outgrown by gently shaking things up in ways that are surprisingly, stabilizing.
Like a prism, I reveal what’s possible and refract what’s dormant inside of you, so you can begin to shine in the way you were designed.
My role is to reflect your brilliance, redirect you back home to yourself, and help you recognize who you are beneath the survival strategies that once made sense, but no longer serve you.
If you’re ready for something different, something that feels like a sigh of relief—you’ve come to the right place.
