Astrology Counseling
Intuitive astrology combined with IFS therapy
✦ Astrology but make it practical
and useful for healing and transformation ✸
You’ve read your horoscope online, and you want to believe in astrology but it just never quite applies to your specific situation. Maybe you even follow a few well-respected astrologers on social media. Their insights seem great, but you aren’t quite sure what it all means for you. Or maybe you’ve been dabbling in some different spiritual practices and don’t know where to go from here. You’re ready to know and connect with yourself at the soul level. ↓
My approach to astrology counseling
My astrology counseling clients are ready to understand themselves and their patterns. They know deep down that there is something bigger they want to connect with. They want to understand their birth chart in practical and useful ways. They desire to use esoteric practices in a way that makes sense for their lives. They’re ready for a spiritual practice that supports their mental health. My clients are looking for therapy that integrates their mystical side.
My clients are often wondering - how can I understand astrology and my spirituality in a tangible way that supports my body, mind, and spirit?
I struggled with this question all through my teens and twenties. I was always drawn to spirituality, but I could never quite understand how to make sense of it for me. I dabbled in astrology, tarot, meditation, and yoga. I spent hours in new age bookstores, looking for the right self-help book to give me tools to integrate my spirituality into my life - all while working at jobs that weren’t right for me, dating the wrong people, and generally feeling lost in my life.
It wasn’t until I scheduled a birth chart reading that I truly started to understand what was unique and special about me. My first astrology reading touched on topics I just wasn’t able to reach in traditional therapy. I learned things that felt obvious to me were virtually unknown to others. Getting my own birth chart read made me realize this was the information I had been missing. This new understanding of myself helped me align with my authentic, wise self. I started making choices that were right for me, not for anyone else. I embraced my true self instead of holding back out of fear. With IFS therapy and astrology, I found practices and tools that worked for me. Both were (and still are) uniquely important in my healing. That’s why I offer both in my work.
How I work with astrology in therapy
The first session is a birth chart reading. I consider this your intake. We’ll explore the basics of your chart, and I’ll highlight some unique gifts and challenges in your chart. We’ll have a conversation about how the different parts of your chart might be impacting the reason you reached out for counseling. I’ll also look at some timing stuff in your chart (for you astrology nerds - think transits and secondary progressions).
Once I’ve read your chart, we start IFS work. I have found that having the chart as background knowledge makes IFS work so much more powerful and potent. Astrology is the map of you and your life. IFS is the tool to help you navigate.
The insights gained from astrology are helpful, but they are not sufficient to create lasting change and healing.
Together we will explore different parts of you using IFS therapy. For example, one part of you may be ready to change careers while another part of you might be afraid to leave your steady job. You’ll develop a relationship with these parts so your intuitive wisdom is guiding your life. Some of those parts may be holding trauma or past experiences that need reprocessing. As we get to know your parts, we can always revisit your chart to explore a specific topic or to get deeper into timing.

Astrology counseling starts with a full birth chart reading. A birth chart reading is the “what.” It gives me more information than I could collect about you in 10 therapy sessions. From reading your birth chart, I’ll be able to understand what is unique about you - including some of your most important gifts and challenges. Therapy is the “how.” Therapy is the integration of the information gained in the birth chart reading. Therapy is the process in which we can heal from past trauma and experiences. We can also continue to revisit your birth chart frequently to look at timing of important life events.

I see all clients weekly for a minimum of four months. This is due to the nature of IFS therapy. It takes time to explore your system, and it needs to be consistent in order to be effective. After 4 months, we can reevaluate frequency.

Yes! But not for psychotherapy. I cannot diagnose or treat mental health conditions for anyone outside of Washington and Texas. I cannot provide therapy to anyone outside of Washington and Texas.
However, I can work with you utilizing both IFS and astrology as a coach anywhere in the world! We can work on business and career development, spiritual concerns, relationship issues, creative blocks, etc. But if you need mental health support, I will refer you to a mental health professional.
