Nicole is an art therapist, astrologer, and Tarot reader whose work weaves together nearly two decades of experience with a deep reverence for creativity, intuition, and personal transformation. After earning her Master's degree in Art Therapy from Drexel University in 2007, she spent many years supporting individuals and families within Philadelphia's nonprofit behavioral health community before founding her practice, The Astral Botanica, in 2021.

Nicole founded The Astral Botanica with the intention of bringing her years of therapeutic experience into conversation with her work as a formally trained astrologer and Tarot reader. Imagination, creativity, metaphor, and archetypal symbolism have long been central to her approach, making Astrology and Tarot natural tools for reflection, meaning-making, and self-discovery. Her trauma-informed sessions help clients strengthen their connection to intuition, navigate periods of transition with greater clarity, recognize recurring patterns, and cultivate deeper self-compassion along the way.
