Through diverse tools and modalities, I create a space that honors both the scientific and the sacred, blending my professional background with intuitive practices. My approach is always focused on personal empowerment, emotional resilience, and holistic well-being.

While I do not provide clinical therapy, my background allows me to support clients in a safe, informed, and deeply personalized way.

With a master’s in clinical mental health counseling, I have an in-depth understanding of evidence-based techniques like Interal Family Systems, narrative therapy, tapping, and bilateral stimulation.

As a coach, I use these methods to support emotional well-being and personal empowerment.

As a tarot reader, I tap into something bigger than you and me, and receive frank yet gentle guidance from the tarot cards as we go along.

With a blend of tools and practices, from Tarot to coaching to energy work, I’m here to guide you on a personalized healing journey that honors all parts of your being.

The Witch’s Way to Healing:
My Expertise

With a deep passion for supporting others on their healing journey, I bring together a unique blend of education and holistic practices:

  • B.A. in Psychology and M.A. in Clinical Counseling: My formal training gives me a strong foundation in understanding human behavior, emotional well-being, and evidence-based techniques, ensuring our work together is informed and grounded.

  • Health and Life Coaching Certifications: As a certified coach, I focus on helping clients set meaningful goals and make transformative shifts in their lives, using tools that are practical and empowering.

  • Full-Spectrum Doula Certification and Womb Circle Facilitator Certification: I am deeply connected to the sacredness of birth, body wisdom, and the feminine journey, supporting others through various life transitions with a nurturing, holistic approach.

  • Reiki Level I: I use gentle energy healing techniques to support emotional and spiritual balance.

  • Tarot, Astrology, & Witchcraft Courses & Studies: Tarot has become a core part of my work, offering a reflective tool for insight, clarity, and deeper self-understanding.

From Circles to 1:1 mentorship, I integrate evidence-based knowledge with spiritual tools to create a supportive, holistic space for growth and healing. While my sessions are not therapy, my extensive training ensures that clients receive safe, informed, and tailored guidance.

Together, we’ll create a space for you to feel seen, supported, and empowered on your healing journey.

What is Tarot Therapy*?

  • Present

    Rather than looking to the Tarot to read the future, I take a Soul Tarot approach, where we focus on the Now. What medicine are we needing Now? What are we needing to anchor into Now? What are we missing Now?

  • Targeted

    It’s important to me that every session feels truly useful to you. This is where evidence-based practices meet my Magic. We will work together to make sure you are gaining clarity and connection every single time we meet. No fluff.

  • Integrative

    There are 168 hours in a week, and we will only be meeting for 1 of them. I make sure our work translates outside of our sessions and into your bigger picture with tactical, practical exercises and suggestions.

  • Inclusive

    I believe if a card’s interpretation doesn’t represent everyone, it’s incomplete. The Lovers doesn’t signify a marriage, & the Empress doesn’t represent a mother. You will see yourself reflected no matter which cards are pulled.

 FAQs

  • “Tarot Therapy” is simply the term I use to describe my coaching sessions with clients, with a clear understanding that this is not actual therapy. I am no longer practicing psychotherapy, and working with me should not be considered a replacement for therapy or counseling. I do not diagnose, and I do not bill insurance, and I do not treat “mental illness.”

    I am trained as a counselor, and our sessions will feel very similar to your average counseling, but with a magical twist. I firmly believe in the therapeutic value the Tarot can bring to the healing process. I will utilize the tarot in our sessions to help deepen our understanding of your situation and your potential outcomes.

    The use of the Tarot is therapeutic. And, this is not therapy.

    Many people love working with me alongside a counselor, and I think that is wonderful, too. If you’re not sure if Tarot Therapy is right for you, let’s have a chat- I will never agree to work with a client that is not a perfect fit in every way.

  • I have devoted my life to service and have worked professionally in the mental health field for almost a decade. Since earning my Master's degree in Counseling in 2017 and becoming a Nationally Certified Counselor, I've sought certifications in health + life coaching so that I could bring my work even further. I've also prioritized my own healing by investing in a number of Tarot and astrology courses, therapy, breathwork, workshops, coaching… you name it. I'm here to bring a unique perspective to guide you toward your happiest, most aligned, most fulfilled version of yourself. If you have any questions about my credentials or experience, please ask!

  • I cannot guarantee anything. It is up to you to craft results in your life! I do know for certain that if you do the work, commit to your vision, and embrace the content, things will change for you. This is the same work I've done in my own life to increase my sense of self-worth, pleasure, and fulfillment. Trust the process. And, trust me! When you enroll in one of my programs, I have your back every step of the way.

  • I do not offer refunds. Everyone who chooses to participate in one of my programs takes full responsibility for that decision, and for their outcome. I trust you to only enroll if you are feeling a deep, resounding "yes!" from your soul.
