Background
I began my study of astrology as a teenager
on the floor of my mother’s bookstore. On a dismissed bottom shelf I discovered
Derek Parker's, The Compleat Astrologer, a treasure-trove of astrological
fundamentals. On days I minded the store; I pulled out Parker’s and learned about
the underpinnings of the universe.
I studied further at
After a decade of counseling in
the social work field, the birth of my son Jacob brought me to a crossroads.
With the pending expiration of my maternity leave, the encouragement of
my husband and the insistence of a handful of clients, I committed myself to
the practice of astrology.
To develop my skill, understanding and
professionalism, I sought a world-class mentor. To
this end I enrolled in Noel Tyl’s
Master’s Certification Program. Noel Tyl is the renowned pioneer of
contemporary psychological astrology whose methodology links archetypal
astrological symbolism with Psychological Need Theory.
He is also a gracious, eloquent and
brilliant teacher. His guidance and support has been
invaluable to my growth. So too has the opportunity to participate in the extended Tyl community of talented and dedicated
astrologers evolving his methodology.
In counsel I employ astrology’s tools
as a mathematical science, a synthesizing art and provident guide. The
resultant charged perspective provides the ideal context to engage in enriched
relationship to discover creative purpose.
