Do you know which archetype you vocalize when you speak? We all know that our thoughts are powerful, especially when voiced. And yet, we seldom pay attention to what comes out of our mouths, whether verbal or written.

Solitude with tarot and books is incredibly common, especially for those who are more feeling-oriented. Recently, I have been contemplating how my aim at solitude as a way to recharge and protect myself from others has turned into icy-cold isolation from the world.

Hi everyone! Here we go! First episode and we are off to a discussion about our relationship to tarot. Have you ever wondered if you are obsessed with tarot or just searching for a deeper meaning? And if you are searching, what is it that you are looking for?
― CARL JUNG
Tarot came into my life at sixteen years old when I was battling cancer. The cards became my solace. A window into the depth within myself. An entrance into my soul. They remain my trusted friends, as I am sure they are to you!
In my mid-20s, I obtained a Doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. My degree in analytical psychology empathized works by Jung, Freud, Hillman, Woodman, Von Franz, & Lacan to name a few.
It was natural and instinctual for me to combine tarot & psychology together. What I offer here is a cultivation of several decades as intersections of psychology & tarot collide.
