Empowering individuals to embrace healing, growth, and self- discovery by unlocking their own personal potential

Schedule a Time to Connect!

Rooted in care. Guided by connection.

Our name also embodies the idea that, just as the tides are part of a larger, interconnected system, individuals are connected to a greater whole as well. The process towards inner peace and resilience, both within oneself and in connection to one’s environment, unfolds naturally when strategies are learned and practiced. Tides of Totality is here to help on your journey to deepen your self-discovery and join you on your journey to self-alignment and trust.

Welcome to Tides of Totality Therapeutics, where I believe we’re all capable of reaching our full potential. Totality in this context refers to the idea that human beings are complex, and understanding the whole person is essential to providing comprehensive care. Tides of Totality suggests that growth, change, and transformation will have natural ebbs and flows —highs and lows— just like the tides in the ocean.

Let’s Work Together

For those located in Illinois seeking clarity and support. Therapy offers a space to deeply assess where you are at, understand your patterns and/ or barriers, and build coping skills that support real change. Using evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches, we’ll explore work toward greater self-trust and a life that feels steadier and more aligned.

Designed for those who value traditional talk therapy while seeking a more integrative approach that honors mind, body, and spirit. By weaving together psychological and astrological insight, we explore key facets of your life to deepen self-understanding, support emotional regulation, and create meaningful alignment.

This 50-minute session provides a personalized introduction to your birth chart, offering insight into the patterns and themes shaping your personality, relationships, and life path. You’ll also receive a written report after the session to continue reflecting and integrating what we explore.
