About Me

Your Guide, Your Coach, Your Biggest Cheerleader

Some things find you at exactly the right moment.

For me, it was tarot.

Over two decades ago, a friend took me for my very first reading. I walked in curious and walked out completely changed, not because someone told me what to do or painted a picture of the future, but because, for the first time in a long time, I finally understood what was going on in my own life.

The cards didn’t judge me. They didn’t lecture me. They simply held up a mirror and said, here is what is happening, and here is how you can navigate it. That was exactly what I had been looking for, and I’ve never looked back. Since then, tarot has guided me through heartbreak, joy, and reinvention. For the past decade, I’ve helped others navigate their transitions and share the insights I’ve gained.

My psychology background runs through everything I do in a reading, not as a clinical tool, but as a quiet foundation. I listen differently. I notice the patterns you might not even see yet. I understand the emotional weight of being in the middle of something uncertain, because I have studied it and lived it.

I knew this was my calling as I watched my friends transform during their readings; confusion shifting to clarity, shoulders relaxing as uncertainty lifted. That was the moment, and I have done this work with my whole heart ever since.

This is Not a Performance. This Is a Partnership.

When you book a reading with Tarot and You, you are not just watching someone flip cards and recite meanings. You experience a reading designed to bring personal insight, empathy, and thoughtful direction, so you leave feeling seen, heard, and genuinely guided.

What lights me up more than anything is that moment, and you will know it when it happens, when something clicks. When your eyes widen, and you feel it land. When the message the cards have been holding for you finally makes sense, and you can breathe again.

That is why I do this.

Every reading I offer is a one-on-one, deeply personal experience. No two readings are ever the same because no two people are ever the same. You bring your story, your questions, your energy, and together we use the wisdom of tarot to help you move forward on your own terms, in your own way.

I am not here to tell you what to do. I am here to help you remember that you already know.

A Little More About Me

When I am not in a reading, you will likely find me curled up with a good book or spending time with my family. These two things fill my cup and help keep me grounded between readings.

I am based in New York and offer virtual readings. Wherever you are, there is a seat at the table for you.

I started Tarot and You because I believe everyone deserves access to honest, compassionate, empowering guidance as I received in my first reading years ago. This is the kind of guidance that doesn’t tell you what to think, but helps you finally hear yourself think.

If you have been searching for that kind of guidance, I am glad you found your way here.

Ready to Begin?

Whether you are in the middle of a major life transition, standing at a crossroad, or simply feeling called to connect with your own inner wisdom, I would be honored to sit with you.

Schedule a reading with me to begin your journey to clarity.

I look forward to meeting with you.
