You’ve spent years being the capable one, and you’re still running into the same patterns in your relationships, your work, and the ways you get in your own way. Maybe you’ve done therapy before and it only went so far, or this is your first time and you just know you need to go deeper.
I’m a depth psychotherapist and astrotherapist, and I use astrology with every client as one of the ways we understand what you’re carrying. I work with high achievers, entrepreneurs, creatives, healers and therapists, and people moving through big life transitions or spiritual awakenings. Most of the people I work with are neurodivergent or highly sensitive, and many are cycle breakers healing what came down their family line.
My work is relational and goes to the root. It includes shadow work, IFS-informed parts work, ancestral healing, and ritual. I’m an initiated Dagara diviner, and my spirituality is grounded. I don’t use it to bypass the human parts of healing.
I offer therapy intensives in person in Sacramento, open to anyone from anywhere, and online in California and Texas, along with limited weekly online therapy.

- Transpersonal Therapy Integrates spirituality and higher states of consciousness with psychology. It encourages growth beyond the individual self.
Approach Description: My work is relational at its core. I show up as a real person, and what happens between us becomes part of the work. From there, we go to the root of the patterns you keep running into. I use astrology with every client to understand what you’re carrying and the timing of what you’re moving through. We also do shadow work and IFS-informed parts work, and I work somatically with parts and how they show up in your body. Ancestral healing, dreamwork, and ritual come in when the work calls for them. I’m client-led, so we use the language and beliefs that fit you. My spirituality is grounded, and I don’t use it to bypass the human parts of healing.

Fourth House Alchemy is my therapy practice. I offer therapy intensives in person in Sacramento, open to anyone from anywhere, and online in California and Texas, along with limited weekly online therapy. I work with high achievers, creatives, healers, and people at big crossroads in their lives, and most of my clients are neurodivergent or highly sensitive. My approach is integrative and draws on depth and Jungian psychology, psychodynamic and relational therapy, IFS-informed parts work, and transpersonal psychology. Astrology, archetypes, and myth are part of how we understand what you’re carrying, and I bring in ancestral healing and ritual when the work calls for it.
