Approach & Methodology
Maybe you wake at 3 am with a restlessness you can't name. Or you're inexplicably bored despite being busy.
Perhaps you're experiencing a profound dis-orientation—that unmooring when familiar coordinates no longer guide you.
Life looks good on paper, yet you're dissolving inside, watching yourself go through motions that feel increasingly hollow.
Something essential is shifting, but you can't name it. Old meanings are draining away like water through sand.
A desire you'd buried so long you'd forgotten its shape now pulses at the edges of your days, refusing to stay quiet.
You're being "dis-ed"—dismantled, dissolved, dis-illusioned in the truest sense.
The life that held you yesterday can't contain who you're becoming.
These aren't problems
to fix.
They're thresholds announcing themselves.
The Spiral Path
Look at a nautilus shell and you'll see nature's blueprint for growth—not straight lines (those are for spreadsheets) but expansive spirals.
Each curve returns us to familiar territory with deeper capacity. This is how we actually evolve: circling back, integrating, expanding.
Life isn't about finding your purpose or waiting for heaven's memo. It's about noticing what wants to emerge through you—a collaborative unfurling between your individual soul and something larger that knows your edges and potentials.
This isn't like following a recipe where you measure precisely and get predictable results.
It's more like improv comedy with its "yes, and" spirit—building on what arises, staying curious about what wants to happen next, creating something that has never existed before.
The Threshold Territory
Every major transition follows a pattern, though each journey is unique:
The Death - Something ends—sometimes dramatically, often through a slow dissolving of vitality. What once gripped you no longer fuels you. Boredom arrives as herald (yes, boredom—that overlooked prophet of transformation). Restlessness disrupts your sleep. The life that fit yesterday feels like someone else's clothes.
This dissolution is necessary. Without death, there's no room for birth.
The Liminal - Here's where things get interesting. Old images and stories that once guided you fade like stars at dawn. You're stripped bare—think Inanna at each gate of the underworld, or that rom-com montage where the heroine's entire wardrobe gets tossed before her transformation.
In this burning ground, what can't survive the fire reveals itself before turning to ashes. The more we grip the old ways, the more painful this becomes. Yet we must honor and grieve what was. As U2 says, we can only carry forward "all that you can't leave behind."
New images begin glimmering in the dark. Stories you've never told yourself whisper possibilities.
The Emergence - New life rarely announces itself. It sidles up—a minor curiosity, a dabble, even what seems like a distraction. It grows almost imperceptibly, gestating in your soul's belly. Then one day you look back and realize that the small thread has become the rope you're following out of the labyrinth.
What I bring
Archetypal Astrology - Not fortune-telling but pattern recognition. Which gods are walking with you? What are they asking you to learn? When we struggle, it's often because we're not properly honoring the archetypes rising in our lives. Ignore Venus, get unfulfilling relationships. Resist Saturn's call for boundaries; meet the despotic taskmaster version instead.
Story Medicine - Your psyche speaks through the stories you tell about your situation. Every metaphor reveals the map. Fairy tales, myths, and even romance novels carry transformation instructions. We'll find which stories are living through you.
Depth Psychology - Symptoms are symbols. Dreams are letters from your future self. We'll listen beneath your described struggles to hear what your soul is actually saying.
Threshold Wisdom - Earned through my own crossings—corporate death, academic rebirth, plant medicine revelations, grief as liberation—I know this territory from inside. Not because I've mastered it, but because I keep walking it.
What our work together feels like
This isn't traditional therapy (though it's therapeutic in the original sense—'therapeia’ meant tending the gods).
It's not consulting (though clarity emerges).
It's not life coaching (though your life will change).
It's more like having a midwife for your becoming—someone who knows transition is supposed to feel impossible right before the new life crowns.
I don't have your answers. But I'm excellent at helping you listen to your own knowing.
Together we'll:
Recognize boredom and restlessness as sacred messengers
Read the signs life keeps sending
Learn to dwell in the liminal without rushing toward false clarity
Honor what's dying so that what's emerging has room
Track the subtle movements of new life
Find medicine in what you've dismissed as meaningless
You bring your life and its beautiful contradictions. I bring tools, experience, and faith in your unfurling. Between us, we create space for what wants to be born through you.
The Container
We meet via Zoom or phone—whichever helps you feel most present.
Sessions weave together based on what's alive for you in the moment.
Sometimes we'll work with dreams or creative projects between meetings.
Astrology appears when it illuminates, not as prescription but as perspective.
This work is as rich as you make it.
Your psyche sets the pace and rings the bells—I help you hear them.
The depth of transformation corresponds directly to your willingness to show up for what's calling you.
When you lean in, I match you there.
I work in both English and Portuguese, holding space for the fullness of who you are.
