Hi! I’m Danielle —
In addition to being a mother and wife, I’ve been an astrological counselor for 12 years.
For astrologically-oriented minds, I am a Taurus Sun with a Gemini Moon, and an Aquarius Rising. Read more about how astrology + counseling came into my life below.
I can’t really say I found astrology. It’s more like astrology found me — when I was 12, in the most unlikely of places: a Christian bookstore.
I came upon a book about magic, occult practices, druids, astrology and tarot. But it wasn’t just any book, it was a book warning people against these practices. My young, curious mind was intrigued: how could the planets be considered “bad”?
Something about the book felt familiar. But I didn’t speak a word of my interest to anyone else for another 12 years.
Fast forward to me at age 23, having just moved to Venice, California from New York City. I became friends with a 27-year old who told me about her challenges with her Saturn Return. She guided me to astro.com where I read the first interpretation of my natal chart by Robert Hand. It was puzzling yet, exhilarating. Something in me was stirred, and simultaneously settled.
When I turned 27 at the start of my own Saturn Return, I was gifted a professional natal chart reading with renowned Santa Fe astrologer, Tom Brady. It was a life changing experience. His words pierced my troubled heart with truth and resonance. I felt seen in a way I had never felt before.
I dove deep into astrological studies after that. The more I learned about myself through astrology, the more I yearned to help others with this tool. And so, shortly after that reading, I returned to a childhood vision of mine and began graduate school for counseling.
Much to how my friend described it, my Saturn Return was a heavy time. In addition to the maturation that comes along with this initiation, I had other transits reflecting I was ripe for major change.
I found strength in the supportive wisdom of astrology, the tarot, a myriad of therapies, and other spiritual practices. Three years later, despite all my resistances and fears, I leapt into the unknown and started a new life.
I completed my master’s degree in Holistic Counseling Psychology in 2013 and have woven astrological wisdom with transformative counseling ever since.
As a life-long student I continue to glean new insights about astrology by listening to its language spoken through the lives of my clients. Not one day goes by that I’m not in awe of this sacred tool. I believe it can help us live in harmony with the natural cycles of life, activate our gifts, and validate our intuitive sense of purpose so we can be the full expression of who we came here to be.
If you’re on the cusp of great change, feeling stuck or disillusioned by life, you might be amazed at the power of an astrology reading. And, if you’re yearning to feel empowered, confident, and excited about your path, schedule a session with me. I’d love to guide you through the portal of transformation.
As my chart reflects, it’s what I came here to do.
In addition to astrology + psychology, my other passions are holistic health and conscious parenting.
I’ve always wanted to be a mother. One of the many gifts of parenting is in recognizing that my children are the keys to my liberation. I’m grateful to know and learn about them through the lens of astrology so I can support who they came here to be.
As a daughter of a nurse and a wife of a holistic doctor, health is another focal point in my life. I trust in the power of the human body to heal itself and I am adamant about medical freedom, bodily autonomy, self-responsibility, and reclaiming our inherent sovereignty.
I have a voracious appetite for knowledge and uncovering the truth, and I value radical honesty as a way towards intimacy.
Thank you for being with me here on the journey of a lifetime.
