About
_______________________________________________
I guide clients of all experience and ability levels on the path to attaining greater mindfulness through artmaking. A sustainable practice intended to continue long after sessions conclude, artmaking can be much more than what you know from school electives courses. When focused on process rather than product, regular creative practice is self-affirming, helping you to overcome challenges and untangle knots in your energy.
Differing from clinical art therapy (a licensed practice that guides patients through processing the impact of past events and established behavioral patterns), I prepare and prompt you for your path forward into the future. My methods are accessible for all ability levels, and the creatively shy are especially welcome. My aim is to offer you tools and coach empowered habits of being so that you can bloom into an independent and self-reliant creator.
With over a decade of experience as a state-certified art educator, I am deeply interested in the multi-faceted and ever-changing ways that identity impacts how individuals relate to one another. I rely on an intersectional approach to my practice - one that affirms commonalities across the lines of race, ethnicity, class, gender, ability, religion, and more - to co-create safe, engaging, and transformative experiences.

“Rhonda has one of the most unique tarot reading services I have ever come across. Her vast knowledge of tarot and art healing therapy, makes you feel at home with her as you delve into the magic awaiting you. You feel like you are talking to a friend who is also like an art therapist, and any anxieties, worries, or fears cease to exist once you have finished the session. I highly recommend Rhonda to anyone who wants more than just a tarot reading. This type of reading is for anyone who wants to delve deeper into the magic of their creativity and all that it has in store for them!”

“Rhonda is hands down one of the most unique readings I ever had, she is the embodiment of a powerful creative force, and her intuitive guidance is uplifting and encouraging. I also noticed throughout the session that her voice and demeanor are very calming and grounding for those of us receiving the reading, I found this comforting. One of my favorite parts of the entire reading was the homework I received from her; I was invited to deepen my intuition through a therapeutic art exercise that I found very satisfying and aligned with my energy. (She was deeply connected to my energy and able to tap in to parts of my creativity that I haven't shared with her before, this was reassuring for me.) Her fusion of tarot, dice, pendulum and art is truly a work of art in itself. I highly recommend her to anyone who is ready to receive something beyond the traditional guidance through these beautiful divination tools. When you book with Rhonda, come in with an open mind and an open heart, you will not be disappointed! Thank you Rhonda, you are amazing!”

“Rhonda offers truly fascinating readings that offer insight into situations and clarity to help a person move forward. She reads with confidence and asks questions that give more depth to the reading. Rhonda was able to give me a time frame regarding a situation I am working through that resonated, as well. She is also an artist who gave me a creative healing art exercise intuitively tailored to me and my needs to help support me through some challenging times ahead. Rhonda’s sessions are unique, insightful, reassuring and healing. I highly recommend a session with her!”
