Grief and Loss

Grief is one of the most universal human experiences, and one of the least well-supported. Our culture tends to treat it as a problem to be solved — something to move through quickly and leave behind. But grief is not a problem. It is an invitation to go deeper: into the wisdom of your own soul, into the irreplaceable meaning of what or whom you have lost, and into a more honest relationship with the inherent vulnerability of being alive.

I work with people navigating all forms of grief and loss — the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a career that collapsed, an identity that no longer fits, a health diagnosis that changed everything. Whatever form your loss has taken, the work is the same: finding your own unique way to make meaning of what happened, in a way that dignifies and honors instead of fixing or leaving behind.

Through coaching, I offer a compassionate, unhurried presence that helps you formulate your own inquiry into grief — one that moves toward acceptance not as resignation, but as the opening through which transformation becomes possible.

Through astrology, I look at the chart for clues about the deeper evolutionary purpose of events, supporting you to make sense of it from a cosmic perspective. This wider view can be tremendously helpful in finding acceptance, a key ingredient for healthy processing of grief.

I offer a special service for friends and family of someone who has passed — the Life Tribute Reading, a deeply meaningful astrology reading that reveals the spiritual, evolutionary purpose of a loved one’s lifetime. Learn more about the Life Tribute Reading →

Grief, when given the space it deserves, transmutes pain into seeing life with greater beauty and living it with greater dignity. That transformation is not only possible but inevitable. And you don’t have to find your way through it alone.

Relationships

Relationships are not just a backdrop to our lives — they are the primary arena in which we grow. As we evolve into increasingly complex human beings, love evolves with us, asking us to develop new capacities for connection, honesty, and depth. The challenges that arise in our most important relationships are not signs that something has gone wrong. They are invitations to grow.

My approach to relationship work is grounded in a fundamental insight: all relationships involve two irreducible and interdependent needs — the need for connection and the need for separation. When these needs are in healthy balance, relationships become a source of profound meaning and aliveness. When they aren’t, we find ourselves at the extremes of clinginess, avoidance, neglect or overreach. Learning to navigate this polarity wisely is at the heart of relational development.

Central to this work is what I think of as emotional currency — the difference between relating from a place of sincere gratitude and generosity, versus relating from entitlement and obligation. Healthy relationships are not built on using the right words or following the right scripts. They are built on cultivating a sincere intent to meet each other’s needs from the inside out — and doing the inner work of dismantling the unconscious narratives that keep us stuck in relational poverty.

I work with individuals and couples on both romantic and professional relationships, offering both coaching and astrology as lenses for understanding relational dynamics. For couples, I offer Synastry Readings — an astrological consultation that explores the unique chemistry, challenges, and evolutionary purpose of your relationship. Learn more about Synastry Readings →

Soul-Centered Leadership

We are living through a leadership crisis. The dominant model — concealing weakness, maximizing profit, managing people as resources — is producing burned-out teams, broken cultures, and a world that bears the cost. Something more is needed. Something older, wiser, and far more human.

Soul-centered leadership begins with a recognition that everything is interconnected, and that the role of a leader is not simply to drive results, but to steward the conditions in which people — and the organizations they belong to — can genuinely flourish. It draws on the acknowledgment of synchronicity as evidence of an evolutionary purpose waiting to be honored. The soul-centered leader is on a path of learning to leverage these currents as a daily practice — tending not only to what gets achieved, but to how it gets achieved, and for what higher purpose.

This kind of leadership looks different from the outside. It focuses on creating the conditions where team members can focus on channeling their unique gifts, supporting one another in a spirit of gratitude and generosity, and finding genuine meaning through shared purpose. Instead of a competitive culture where everyone is driving for the top, soul-centered leaders cultivate a culture where the natural order is honored — where each person wants to see every other person shine, rocking it in their own unique way.

Two practices are central to this work. The first is shadow work — the willingness to model honest self-examination as a leader, creating a culture where triggers and blind spots are not sources of shame but invitations to grow. Where conventional leadership demands the concealment of vulnerability, soul-centered leadership understands that our humanity is not a liability. It is the source of our deepest authority.

The second is servant leadership — leading with genuine love and curiosity for who your people are as souls, and what unique gifts they are here to give. When people feel truly seen and developed in this way, the result is not just loyalty. It is a workplace where everyone can genuinely belong, making for an unstoppable team.

I have been walking this path myself since 2008, and I know firsthand that soul-centered leaders rarely have it easy. Systems resist what they don’t recognize. Our fears draw us back into self-doubt, again and again. The pressure to conform is real. Through leadership coaching and a variety of tailored astrological consultations, I support the new generation of leaders who carry this vision — brave enough to step forward, and wise enough to not go it alone.

For leaders interested in timing their most important business decisions based on the stars, I offer the Electional Reading, Electional Reading with Transits, and for business partners, the Electional Reading with Transits for Two.

Life Transitions

Every significant life transition — a career that ends, a relationship that changes, a move to a new place — carries within it a deeper transition that is harder to name: a transition of identity. Our sense of who we are tends to be woven into our work, our relationships, and the places we call home. When any of these change, we can find ourselves asking a question that is both terrifying and quietly exciting: Who am I now?

That disorientation is not a sign that something has gone wrong. It is the threshold. And learning to stand in it — with curiosity rather than panic — is where the real work begins.

During my training at Newfield Network, I was introduced to a concept that has shaped my practice ever since: the breakdown. A breakdown is not a catastrophe. It is any moment in which life fails to unfold according to the model of reality we had previously been operating by. Every significant transition contains one. And one of the most powerful moves we can make is to name the breakdown precisely — to put our finger on exactly what the old story was, and how events have broken it open. That understanding is what allows a new, post-threshold identity to begin to form, from which new action can emerge.

This is where astrology becomes a remarkable companion to coaching. Profections, transits, progressions, and solar returns are astrology’s tools for understanding timing and change — and they can reveal with striking clarity why a particular transition is happening now, and what evolutionary purpose it is serving. I offer focused Transit Readings for clients wanting a focused snapshot, as well as a more comprehensive Solar Return Reading that brings together multiple timing techniques to illuminate the full picture of what is unfolding.

I’ve navigated more than my fair share of transitions in my own life. Many arrived uninvited. Allowing myself the space to step back and re-clarify my deepest values has been a reliable compass, but if I’m honest, it can’t be scripted. That is the work I love to do with clients — helping you find your own compass, and trust it.

Neurodiversity

I was diagnosed with level 1 autism at age 45, after a lifetime of struggling to fit into a neurotypical box that wasn’t me. Getting that diagnosis explained so much — and brought genuine relief from shame I had carried for years about things society had quietly told me were simply character flaws. But the diagnosis alone didn’t bring the compassion and understanding I had hoped for from others. It took another four years to fully reckon with how deeply ableism is woven into the fabric of our culture, and the toll that had taken on me.

I was already a professional coach when I received my diagnosis, and it threw me into a difficult inquiry that most coaches haven’t considered: where is the fine line between healthy empowerment and the societal conditioning that teaches us to mask? Between genuine growth and the performance of neurotypicality? I don’t have it all figured out and I won’t pretend to. What I know is this: we don’t need to be fixed. What we need is to take off the mask — together — and begin building a life rooted in radical authenticity, curiosity, and self-acceptance.

I also have close family members with ADHD, and four years of experience coaching neurodiverse adults across a wide range of topics — relationships, career, burnout, PDA, and the most important work of finding a way to live a fulfilling life as the person you actually are. Many of my neurodiverse clients had spent years in therapy before finding me, and found that what made the difference was having a coach who genuinely gets it — not because of training alone, but because of lived experience.

A different operating system — and better tools to run it

Neurodiverse brains often feel like they’re running a different operating system than the world was built for. Once we discover the truth of who we are and what’s actually going on, something shifts. We can be the change we want to see in the world; a world that works better for different operating systems. We discover tools to update our own operating system; tools that help us understand ourselves and others more deeply.

Astrology turns out to be one of the most powerful tools available for exactly this. Its symbolic language offers a unique way of making sense of emotions, relationships, and life patterns that can be genuinely illuminating for neurodiverse minds — especially for those who need to understand why things work the way they do. Many of my autistic clients have found astrology particularly helpful for making sense of things that otherwise felt opaque or overwhelming, and like me, many of them appreciate how it confirms what they intuitively sense through energy pattern recognition.

Astrology may also offer insights into the many unique expressions of autism — not by reducing neurodiversity to a single chart signature, but by revealing individual clues about what helps a particular person navigate their specific challenges, develop their unique gifts, and understand the evolutionary purpose their neurodiversity serves in this lifetime. This last part matters deeply to me: using astrology to cultivate not just acceptance of our neurodiversity, but real dignity through understanding how it supports our evolutionary purpose.

I am currently leading a Special Interest Research Group (SIRG) on Autism & Astrology through the National Council for Geocosmic Research (NCGR), where professional astrologers — many of them autistic themselves — gather to research exactly these questions. If you are an autistic astrologer and would like to join us, you are warmly welcome. Learn more about the Autism & Astrology SIRG →

Psychological Abuse Recovery

If you have experienced psychological or narcissistic abuse — in a romantic relationship, with a friend, at work, or in a spiritual community — you already know how hard it is to find support that truly understands what you went through. Well-meaning friends minimize it. Practitioners who haven’t been through it themselves sometimes inadvertently replicate the very dynamics you are trying to heal from. And the internal fog left by sustained gaslighting can make it genuinely difficult to trust your own perceptions — which can make finding the right help feel nearly impossible.

I understand this from the inside, an experience I have written about openly here. I also escaped a cultic community in 2006 — a meditation group led by a woman who claimed to be enlightened, whose leadership involved many of the usual dynamics of coercive control and subtle manipulation through ego-shaming. Through my own recovery process I have spent a lot of time educating myself on these topics, and these experiences have given me a depth of understanding that no amount of training alone could provide.

This kind of abuse leaves specific wounds, eroding your ability to trust your own experience. The shame tells you it was your fault, or that you should have known better. Complex PTSD makes it seem like you are unsafe with others when in fact you are safe, undermining your ability to establish new, healthy relationships founded in mutual respect. Recovery takes patience, education, and re-learning trust.

My work with clients in this area begins exactly where they are. Often that means a great deal of validation — not just once, but over and over, as the layers of gaslighting gradually loosen their grip. It means making space for all of the valid emotions, with zero pressure to “get over it”. It means re-establishing a true definition of empowerment, according to your own values. Not someone else’s.

A note on cultic abuse

Cultic abuse deserves particular mention, because it is so poorly understood despite being widespread. Cults do not only attract the vulnerable or the naive. They attract the idealistic, the spiritually curious, the highly intelligent, and the neurodiverse. The very qualities that make someone a beautiful human being can also make them susceptible to exploitation. If you have experienced this, please know: it was not a reflection of your intelligence or your worth. And recovery is possible.

I am committed to the Seek Safely Promise in my own work with clients — a set of ethical practice standards specifically designed to protect clients from the kind of harm that can occur with practitioners who work within the domain of personal growth and self-help.
