TAROT-BASED THERAPY

When most people hear the word tarot, they think of fortune-telling or predicting the future. That is not how tarot is used within my therapy practice.

​

Instead, tarot serves as a tool for reflection, metaphor, self-exploration, and insight. Much like a dream, a piece of artwork, or a story, tarot cards can help us access thoughts, emotions, and experiences that may be difficult to put into words.

​

The 78 images found within a tarot deck represent a wide range of human experiences, challenges, relationships, emotions, and life transitions. Sometimes a picture can capture something that language struggles to express. Many clients find that tarot provides a unique way to explore feelings, patterns, and questions that may otherwise remain just beneath the surface.

​

In therapy, tarot cards become a starting point for conversation and reflection. The cards are not used to predict the future or tell clients what they should do. Instead, they serve as symbolic mirrors that can help illuminate perspectives, uncover insights, and encourage deeper self-understanding.

​

Because tarot engages imagery, symbolism, intuition, and personal association, it can be especially helpful for individuals who feel disconnected from their emotions, struggle to articulate their experiences, or benefit from a more experiential and creative approach to therapy.

​

At its heart, tarot-based therapy is simply another way of helping people reconnect with themselves. The cards do not provide the answers. Rather, they help create space for clients to discover the answers that already exist within them.
