Today, my work helps people cultivate inner permission—the courage to trust themselves enough to make big changes, take leaps of faith, and imagine new possibilities. Clients I’ve worked with have:

• Found the courage to leave a marriage

• Confronted a fear of spirituality after serious church trauma

• Gained a new relationship to time and meaning through astrology

• Unlearned toxic theology about gender and sexuality

• Gotten sober

• Found security in their intuitive and psychic abilities

I hold a Master of Divinity degree from Union Theological Seminary, where I focused on theology, art, and ritual. I’m also a Certified Empowerment Practitioner and a certified practitioner of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), a framework that grounds all my work in empathy, clarity, and connection.

My training has been shaped by Black liberation scholars at Union, whose teachings continue to guide my commitment to justice. I also studied clinical pastoral care at the Jewish Theological Seminary, which sharpened my capacity for interfaith spiritual accompaniment.

I practice a blend of traditional and humanistic astrology—honoring the rigor of ancient techniques while embracing modern psychological insights. For me, astrology is more than prediction: it’s a language that helps us communicate with the divine, with each other, and with ourselves.

Outside of sessions, I love music and singing, and I spend as much time as I can with my three dogs—Bella Rose, Gil, and Banana. I also share an orchard with my partner and friends, where you’ll often find me covered in sawdust from renovations or dirt from tending plants.

With love,
