What up. My name is Alex. I have a degree in Psychology, Family Studies, & Sociology from McNeese State University and I’m currently working on my Masters in Counseling with the intention of becoming a registered LPC. I have over 8 years of professional experience working in the field of psychology, including special needs, as well as 10 years of teaching or mentoring all sorts of wonderfully unique and diverse people (both in public school settings and in private institutions/practices). I specialize in inner healing, trauma, shadow work, personality theory, and psychological astrology. I love helping people feel seen, valued, and understood. Helping inspire people to grow, heal, and become the best version of themselves really is a huge passion of mine.
My astrology journey is a unique one.
One day, a very special someone wanted to give me a reading. I did not believe in astrology, but they have a genuine love for spirituality. I trust them. So, I said “ok, read me.” Although their reading did resonate with me a decent amount, from my perspective, it felt like I was a victim of confirmation bias. Maybe these were even vague generalizations that almost anyone could relate to. In their defense, the reading wasn’t bad; I just tend to be weary of a "thing” until I understand it completely in the context of how it works within a system before I fully buy into it. But there was clearly some truth to be found here. So, I was inspired to relentlessly investigate further - in spite of my, truthfully, skeptical temperament. Their sincere love of astrology, by proxy, inspired me to care. In full transparency, I just wanted to prove that astrology wasn’t real. But as it turns out…astrology is real.
I started to read my own chart, and it quickly began to make sense. The whole beautiful and complex system started to come alive. I broke astrology down to its most basic functions; I rebuilt it from the ground up in my head so I could understand. You see, I have to understand everything (in academic contexts) or I’m not happy. To my disappointment, nobody seemed to be able to answer my unusually specific questions.
I had to teach myself astrology.
And I had become obsessed.
I started experimenting with what I was learning on my friends. I found I was easily able to practically apply what I had learned. Eventually, I branched off to reading strangers’ charts. Astrology never lies. I had found the patterns that were consistent in every scenario. If there was information about somebody in their chart, I was determined to find it. And I always did. My accuracy started to scare me because that means astrology is disturbingly real. I would say “either astrology works, or it doesn’t” and every time I used it - it worked. I believe in the astrology. Everything I learned and tested worked 100% of the time without fail. I had become obsessed and oops accidentally good at something I used to say wasn’t real.
