Psychotherapy can help an individual become more empowered to live a fulfilling and meaning-filled life. It is a tool that can help an individual create deeper connections with oneself, with others – as well as  with the larger community and natural world.

Shadow work/Tarot:

Shadow work and psychotherapy have the same ultimate goal: making the unconscious – conscious. This means increasing awareness of hidden aspects of self so that healing and integration can be achieved. Tarot is fantastic tool for shadow work.
