The Mirrored Self Method™ is a clinical archetypal integration process where your lived experience is assessed first, then mirrored back through esoteric tools - revealing the paradoxes beneath your struggles, and teaching you to integrate them.
This is deep work combining clinical psychology, archetypal translation, elemental alchemy, and somatic integration. We start with YOUR experience, then use your birth chart and other psychological, spiritual, and archetypal tools to understand the structure beneath your struggles. We will weave in the ancient wisdom of astrology, tarot, and kabbalah as mirrors that reveal your unconscious patterns, illuminate archetypal themes, and guide you toward authentic self-mastery. This integrative, holistic, and comprehensive process addresses both the psychological and spiritual dimensions of your growth and healing, creating lasting transformation so that you can finally stop performing your life and start truly living it.
My Philosophy
Most psychological suffering comes from trying to resolve archetypal paradoxes that aren't meant to be resolved—they're meant to be understood, honored, and integrated. When you see that your "problem" is actually a polarity—two valid archetypal forces in tension—everything shifts. You stop judging yourself as broken and start recognizing yourself as complex. The goal isn't to eliminate one side. It's to find the fulcrum where both can exist.
The Five Components
Psychological Assessment:
We identify your core paradoxes, repressed vitality, and the false self you've constructed to survive. This clinical foundation grounds everything that follows.
Tarot as Mirror:
Not fortune-telling—self-translation. You learn to use tarot as a reflective tool for dialoguing with your psyche, building trust in your own wisdom.
Birth Chart Translation:
Your chart validates what you've already told me about your experience. We explore the archetypal structure creating your inner tensions—and reframe "difficult" placements as gifts.
Elemental Alchemy:
We map your patterns through the four elements, using embodiment practices, breathwork, and ritual to support integration at a somatic level.
Integration Through Embodiment:
Understanding isn't enough. We create practices for living with paradox—holding both sides, working with your design, building capacity for complexity.
The 8 paradoxes based on Erik erikson’s developmental phases:
1. Safety Paradox (Trust vs. Mistrust) - being open AND boundaried
2. Agency Paradox (Autonomy vs. Shame) - self-directed AND receptive
3. Desire Paradox (Initiative vs. Guilt) - pursuing wants AND fulfilling obligations
4. Competence Paradox (Industry vs. Inferiority) - striving for excellence AND accepting limits
5. Authenticity Paradox (Identity vs. Role Confusion) - true to self AND connected to community
6. Connection Paradox (Intimacy vs. Isolation) - merging AND maintaining boundaries
7. Legacy Paradox (Generativity vs. Stagnation) - creating/contributing AND allowing flow
8. Meaning Paradox (Integrity vs. Despair) - accepting what was AND grieving what wasn't

✓ Have done therapy or coaching before but want to go deeper.
✓ Feel caught between competing parts of themselves.
✓ Are navigating major transitions (career, identity, relationships, purpose).
✓ Value both psychological insight and spiritual meaning.
✓ Want to understand themselves, not just manage symptoms.
✓ Are willing to be active participants in their own healing.
This is NOT for people who:
✗ Want to be told what to do.
✗ Are looking for quick behavioral changes.
✗ Expect passive sessions that focus on personal processing.
✗ Want someone to validate their current perspective without challenge.
Q & A
How is this different from therapy?
The Mirrored Self Method is not different from therapy - it’s a proprietary method of therapy. Traditional therapy generally focuses on diagnosing, processing feelings, and understanding how the past may impact your current functioning. My method goes beyond surface-level change by creatively accessing hidden aspects of the self and re-integrating them back into consciousness to generate authenticity and wholeness.
Do you read astrology charts?
I do not read charts, my training in Astrology is founded in Archetypal Astrology which focuses on the universal archetypes, symbolism, and energies living in each person’s chart. Astrology readings look at your chart first, and you second. It is a more “predictive” or divinic process that “tells you” who you are and what to expect from your life. In my work, I use the birth chart as a tool to better affirm what you are already experiencing, and to help you put language to your struggles.
Do I need experience in Tarot or Astrology to work with you?
Absolutely not! I actually prefer to work with individuals bringing a beginner’s mind to this work. I will run your chart for you, and we will use the Tarot as a mirror, not as a predictive tool. If you are interested in learning more about these ancient practices, our work will deepen your understanding so you are not left to “interpret” things on your own as you would be after a reading of your chart or the Tarot.
Beneath the Surface
Engages you in honest exploration of what's truly calling for transformation - moving beyond surface-level goals to uncover the deeper longings and authentic desires that hold the key to your real change.
-
This is the entry point of psychotherapy. A process of self-activation, the decision point where you consent to your own becoming. Think of it as a truth excavation or the gentle yet thorough exploration beneath your stated reasons for seeking change.
If you've been telling yourself you came to therapy to "manage stress" or "improve relationships" while sensing there are deeper longings calling to you, we will work together to uncover what you're truly seeking - and what wants to emerge in your life.
Through compassionate existential inquiry, courageous curiosity, and honest self-examination, we'll explore the authentic desires that hold your real transformation. You'll be invited to look honestly at what's genuinely working in your life versus what you've been settling for.
This is about honoring the gap between the life you're living, and the life that's calling to you.
Identity Alchemy
Guides you through the profound work of answering "who am I" beyond roles and performative patterns in preparation for the full embodiment of your essential nature.
-
We fear and crave becoming truly ourselves, yet deep down we intuitively know that there is more to us then we allow.
Identity Alchemy is transformative inner work that guides you out of living inauthentically. You will embark on an exploratory process that will liberate you from the masks, conditioning, and expectations that have been laminated over your true self.
We will sift through the multiple selves that are fragmented and in conflict, and we will explore both the gifts you've been hiding and the parts of yourself you've been avoiding. This is profound self-discovery work and psychological exploration that will leave you feeling seen and accepted for who you are.
Practical Magic
Shifts your perspective of the world so you trust your own inner guidance to become an active creator of your life experiences rather than constantly seeking approval and external validation.
-
Through the establishment of daily rituals and intentional practices, you will learn that transformation happens through consistent, conscious action.
Letting go of wishful thinking or unrealistic expectations creates space for both critical thinking and creative imagination. This is about taking loving responsibility for your mindset, your environment, and your daily choices.
When you become the magician of your life, you come to realize that conscious creators don't leave their most important decisions to chance, impulse, or other people's agendas. You'll discover how small, consistent practices grow into profound life changes when approached with intention and care.
Soul Mirror Integration
Deep inner shadow work that illuminates the lighter and darker aspects of yourself so they can be fully integrated leaving you feeling whole and empowered to live as your highest self.
-
Soul Mirror Integration is deep inner work that helps you release what no longer serves your highest good to become the most aligned version of who you want to be. This is confronting work that creates lasting change.
You will finally reclaim the qualities, characteristics, perspectives, and instincts you have over-ridden or avoided so that what was once rejected or hidden becomes the source of your strength and authenticity.
But insight without action is just interesting information - so this is where you start doing the courageous work of embodying and living your life as your highest self. This requires dedication, consistent practice, and the willingness to transform rather than just understand.
