My Approach

By using the astrological natal chart as a compass, I can help people become more aware of their unique gifts, while still holding space for whatever challenges might be most present on their path.

I’m a Soul-Centered Astrologer who is fascinated by the intersection of Psychology, Astrology & Dreamwork. I’m a lifelong student of the esoteric, and I’ve been studying Archetypal, Psychological & Esoteric Astrology since 2017. I’m currently based out of Northern California with a full-time online Astrology practice serving a global community. I’m also deeply connected to my Brazilian homeland offering Astrology readings in both English and Portuguese.

I’m proud to be a part of Heidi Rose Robbins’ team of soul-centered Astrologers and a workshop facilitator in her Luminosity community platform.

My Psychological training includes a Master’s Degree in Transpersonal & Depth Psychology and certification in Trauma Studies from John F. Kennedy University, and a Dream Tending certification from Pacifica University. I’m currently completing an Embodied Imagination certification.

I also collaborate with larger organizations by helping each person align their gifts to the organization’s mission. My latest partnership includes working with community leaders and activists through Be The Earth Foundation.

My previous professional background includes leadership communication coaching and creating People & Culture programs in education technology startups such as SNP Communications, Galvanize, and 500 Startups. I’m an entrepreneur at heart and have always been inspired by the connection of spirituality in all aspects of our lives.

My Work With Astrology

Astrology invites us to process our emotional wounds, nourish our gifts, and let our light shine. When we do this, we become better partners, family members, employees, and leaders - and we can create a world that is more aligned to our heart’s desires.

I first came into contact with Astrology on my 29th birthday, months before my first Saturn’s Return. As soon as I came in contact with the Natal Chart, Astrology felt like a first language from many lifetimes ago. I was also in awe of how the information from my natal chart reading connected to challenging themes that were coming up in my therapy sessions. Astrology gives me permission to explore who I am in truth, and allows me to embrace the life-long learner in me.

I love this work because it’s deep and has many complex layers, just like our psyche. Every person I work with gives me the opportunity to explore the full range of this craft, and to see the universe revealed through the person before me.

This work continues to humble me in many ways, and I’m honored to be in service of those who have come before me to continue to integrate this esoteric knowledge with my community.
