As a tarot practioner, intuitive, and multidisciplinary art witch, I believe that tarot can be a potent trailhead for self-discovery, a portal into inner creative power, and a springboard for personal growth. My readings are grounded in compassion, empathy, humor, and a deep respect for your individual journey. My clients tend to walk away with actionable and insightful takeaways, feelings of validation, and reminders of their right to radical self-care. At this time, most of my sessions are virtual; if you are in the San Francisco Bay Area and would like an in-person reading, feel free to reach out on my Contact page.
Some are surprised to find that creativity is at the heart of my tarot philosophy: I harness my background as an arts and culture journalist, author, book editor, and writing coach. I bring in creative exercises and cultural references and tend to prompt clients with self-reflection questions for an interactive co-creation experience. I also weave in psychological concepts, astrological and other traditional correspondences, and eclectic witchcraft practices. I also foreground inclusive language to relay the cards' messages in a rich, resonant way. Combined with my years of tarot scholarship, this fusion not only helps you get the most out of a session but also integrates tarot's lessons into your everyday life. As a Virgo Rising, I also help you walk away with a structured game plan for implementing the insights that emerge, inviting further reflection (we love a journal prompt), and feeling empowered for weeks to come.
As a lifelong animal lover, I also read for pets and have divined messages for many furry friends. Sessions can be done in person or virtually.

Whether you're seeking guidance on a specific situation, looking for insight into your spiritual path, or simply curious about what the cards have to say, I'm here. Thanks for stopping by!

Values
As a queer woman of color, I strive to honor and respect the diversity of experiences and identities that make us who we are.
​
I actively work to integrate anti-racism, gender- and sexuality-affirming practices, and a culturally conscious lens into my work with tarot clients. I'm dedicated to using language that is inclusive and affirming of all identities and experiences.
