A few of my favorite spreads and techniques, all developed by me. Think of it as a framework for self-inquiry — structured enough to be useful, open enough to surprise you. Our conversation prior to the reading will help us refine our strategy.
Life Inventory
Does it slap? Let's make it slap harder. Or is everything FUBAR? Let's unpack it back into recognition. We'll look at your communication skills, your heartspace, your sex drive, and your money — and make it make sense.
Career Ikigai
Ikigai is a Japanese term that blends two words: “iki” (to live) and “gai” (a raison d'être). It's the venn diagram of multiple vectors of meaning in your life. At the dead center lie your purpose and joy.
Heart Stoppers
We'll look at your path. We'll look at your partner's path. We'll sketch out where you are, what's resonating, what's pulling you apart, and what to do next.
Conversational Tarot
Not sure where to begin? No problem. Start with a single question and see where it takes you. We'll keep pulling cards until they spill all the tea and you feel complete.
The Pendulum
Letting the pendulum pick the cards seems to add an element of prescience. When I started experimenting with the pendulum on simple yes/no questions, it consistently got things right — even in a controlled, repeatable experiment. It's genuinely weird. I'm a data person at heart. I don't understand why this works. But the results are consistent enough that I can't ignore them.
What to expect

Book NowMy Tarot Story
I discovered tarot during one of the hardest periods of my life. After a devastating breakup and having to part ways with my therapist, I didn't have the energy to search for someone new to talk to. One evening, I glanced at my bookshelf and saw a tarot deck I'd owned for over a decade. I'd opened it maybe once in all the years I had it because I didn't know what I was looking at, nor was I particularly motivated to learn; I have always been more predisposed toward science and empiricism than woo.
I don't know what led me to reach for it then, but when I did, the art is what made it click. Tarot is a form of visual communication, using drawings and symbols to depict archetypal experiences through the unique lens of each artist's subjective interpretation of the human condition. I found myself conversing with the tarot deck, asking it questions I might direct toward a therapist, and noticing how adroitly the tarot illuminated my shadows.
I quickly acquired a few more decks. What fascinated me most was comparing them — card by card and suit by suit — studying how each artist interpreted the same archetypal experience in their own way. The variations offered a window into the artist's subconscious, revealing layers of meaning in the smallest details.
The art shifted my focus away from anxiety and pain toward newfound curiosity and inspiration. The techniques helped me sort through the flood of emotions and revelations that follow a breakup. The archetypal approach felt compassionate, insightful, personalized yet universal, and unexpectedly rigorous. Most importantly, I felt less alone with my thoughts.
From January 2023, when I first leafed through that old deck, to just a month later, when I was fully off-book and fluent, was a zero-to-sixty experience of the best kind of rabbit hole. By May I was so comfortable with its language that I was reading for crowds at a festival. Tarot had everything that appeals to the inveterate nerd in me: beautiful art, a complex structure, inherent ambiguity, and a rich history that weaves together culture, politics, mythology, religion, and esotericism.
The best part? You don't need to believe in anything. You don't need woo. You just need a good question. Guided archetypal self-inquiry does the heavy lifting.
I did not choose tarot. I never intended to pick it up, nor paid attention to crystals or horoscopes — and I still don't. It's more accurate to say tarot chose me and I'm just here for the mystery. Today, I'm not only a tarot reader but a deck collector, with several hundred editions (many of which are quite rare and tough to track down) that represent as many art styles as points of view into who we are as a species.
For me, tarot is not a magic key to the future. Rather, it is a quiet, gentle tool for reflection and introspection. It's a way to see life's challenges through new perspectives, using symbolism to weave through the eccentricities of our interior worlds. My aim is to bring that same sense of wonder and humility to each session, guiding you along the depths of your own journey without judgment, divination, or gimmicks. This is just a conversation between you, me, this peculiar talent I have, and the tarot's stained glass window into the intuited world.
