“PSYCHOLOGY WILL BE A DINOSAUR OF A SCIENCE UNTIL IT DISCOVERS ASTROLOGY."
- CARL G. JUNG
Hi, I’m Erika beach.
I’m a certified Hellenistic Astrologer and have over 20 years experience in mental health with children and families. Twelve of those years, I worked extensively in Clinical Adoption Services in the State of California, domestic and internationally. Since 2007, I’ve incorporated yoga into my life and have a deep background in Hatha Yoga and Anusara. My formal training in astrology started in 2020 with Rebecca Gordon, who was lineage taught by Susan Miller and Bernadatte Brady. In 2021, I began my formal studies with Adam Elenbaas at Nightlight Astrology and with Chris Brennan at The Astrology School. I know, this sounds like a lot, but I think its important to look at many views and perspectives because that only makes you wiser, a forever student. I’m currently a tutor with Nightlight Astrology and enjoying that new journey I’m taking.
In 2003, I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Human Services from California State University, Fullerton and my Master’s degree in Social Work from California State University, San Bernardino in 2005. In 2010, I obtained my License in Clinical Social Work (LCSW).
My Approach
My approach to astrology comes from a psychotherapeutic background where my goal is for my clients to feel heard, seen, and understood. I practice ancient Hellenistic astrology while using modern/ humanistic astrology to incorporate a more psychological perspective. It is my intention to assist clients in getting a deeper understanding of what their life’s purpose is, where they are today and where they are headed. What makes the readings and services I offer unique and straightforward is my innovative approach in combining different types of healing, psychotherapeutic modalities, and intuitive abilities with my Astrological counseling sessions. I use a blend of Person centered, Psychoanalytic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Archetypal techniques while incorporating astrological symbolism. It's important to keep in mind that astrology is a tool for self-exploration and personal insight, and it is not a substitute for professional advice or therapy. An astrologer can provide you with insights based on your astrological chart, but they should not be relied upon to make decisions for you or to provide medical or psychological advice. I’m passionate about using astrology as a healing tool, a source of empowerment, and individuation for clients while staying committed to helping you get to know yourself and soul better.
