My goal was to create a more inclusive space for my work as a mental health professional focused on utilizing Tarot Readings and integrating more Eastern ideologies into my practice. This private practice represents my true first steps in becoming fully independent and distinguishing myself as a holistic practitioner amongst the current typical practice of mental health clinicians. This is not to say I am abandoning my knowledge or my therapeutic approaches that I gained from my Master’s program in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and post-graduate experience in Eating Disorder clinics, School Adjustment Counseling placements, and Anxiety Disorder intervention. Rather, my goal will be to build off of this knowledge by creating more personalized therapy interventions via the Eastern practices of Reiki, Tarot and Esoteric practices, and culturally significant ideologies that can guide therapy into the most supportive direction for the client.

The point is to increase accessibility to mental health care by increasing awareness of esoteric methods while prioritizing spirituality and community in radical opposition to white supremacist practices. I love the mental health field; but as it was born within this system it thus upholds and embodies colonizer ideologies that are implicitly detrimental and hypocritical to what it was designed for. In response I want to create more opportunities for people to obtain clinically sound guidance in personally meaningful ways and potentially at more affordable costs. Ultimately I wish to fulfill my destiny of becoming the Village Healer as we move towards rebuilding our systems in more equitable ways. This practice is my first step into the small acts of rebellion required to change the status quo. Here’s to collaboratively shifting mental health into the future!
