Issa the elevation

I break intergenerational trauma in black communities, and communities of color, through spiritual and mental health healing. Our trauma is a direct reflection of oppressive and restrictive systems that enable racism, classism, homophobia, ableism, and sexism. We cannot heal ourselves without healing our systems too.

I have worked as a counselor in the education system for seven years providing one on one, group, and family counseling. I have been reading tarot for individuals and groups for over four years.

As a black woman and mental health practitioner, my goal is to use my expertise in both tarot and mental health wellness to help individuals break toxic patterns so they can align with their higher self. The root of my work is in reminding clients they have the tools to self heal.

I studied bilingual school counseling and guidance at New York University. I graduated from the University at Buffalo in May 2020 and received my Mental Health Counseling Advanced Graduate Certification. My background in mental health influences my tarot readings.
