Tarot with Renee

Intuitive Guidance Rooted in Compassion & Insight

Tarot is an ancient tool of reflection—one that I approach with deep respect, care, and curiosity. My work as a tarot consultant is rooted in my lived experiences, years of community care work, and my ongoing training as a life long learner and mental health professional.

Note: While I am a registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT), please note that my tarot services are not a substitute for therapy and I do not offer mental health treatment through this platform.

My Approach to Tarot

I offer tarot consultations that blend intuitive insight with grounded, trauma-informed care. Every session is a collaborative space where you, the querent, are empowered to explore your own wisdom. My intention is to offer clarity, reflection, and soul-tending—especially during moments of transition, uncertainty, or deepening self-inquiry. 

My approach is informed by:

  • A background in mental health and community healing.

  • Training in somatic awareness and mindfulness practices.

  • A passion for spiritual tools that center autonomy, not dependency.

  • A commitment to social justice, cultural humility, and accessible care.

What This Is Not:

  • ​Therapy or clinical mental health support

  • Fortune-telling or fixed predictions

  • A space that removes your agency or tells you what to do

Is a Tarot Consultation Right for You?

You might benefit from a session with me if you’re:

At a Crossroads

  • You’re navigating a life transition—career, relationships, identity shifts—and want insight on next steps.

Feeling Stuck

  • You keep hitting the same patterns or questions, and you’re curious about what lies underneath.

Craving Clarity

  • You’re seeking a different lens or reflective space to sort through your thoughts, feelings, or options.

Needing a Safe Enough, Nonjudgmental Space

  • You want someone who will hold your questions with care, without rushing to fix, diagnose, or advise.

On a Spiritual or Self-Discovery Journey

  • You’re exploring your inner world, spiritual practice, or relationship to intuition, and want a grounded companion on the path.

Tarot Consultations are about collaborative meaning-making and empowering you to connect with your own wisdom.

My Training (Not Used in Tarot Sessions, But Shapes My Perspective)

  • Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist in California, 3 Years of Gestalt Relational Training.

  • Extensive experience supporting individuals through life transitions, identity exploration, and healing work.

  • Trained in trauma-informed practices, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness-based approaches.

  • Over a decade of community outreach and resource navigation.

Note: Although my training informs how I hold space, tarot consultations are not therapy and do not constitute a therapeutic relationship.

Let's Connect

Whether you're seeking clarity around a specific question, exploring new directions, or simply curious about how tarot might support your journey, I’d love to work with you.

While my background enriches how I show up as a tarot reader, my consultations are not therapy and do not establish a therapeutic relationship.

Wow, my experience with Renee and her tarot reading was truly transformative...I admit, I approached it with a touch of skepticism, but by the end of the session, it felt as though she had unraveled the tapestry of my life's journey.

My reading with Renee didn’t just hit the mark multiple times, but it also was an emotionally and psychologically supportive experience. I left my reading feeling lifted and a little better armored to walk into my future with a healthier outlook.
