Jungian Analyst

The focus of analysis is informed and directed from the analysand’s experiences in their daily lives, their memories of the past, their feelings and reflections in response to such memories, interactions with the analyst/psychotherapist, dreams, or other spontaneous forms of expression of images from the unconscious. It is important that there be freedom to talk about anything that comes to mind. The integrity and strength of the relationship between analyst/psychotherapist and analysand plays a crucial role in this process. Confidentiality and privacy are strictly maintained.

Frequency of sessions is not predetermined, but is decided upon in accord with the unique requirements of each individual situation. The duration of the depth psychotherapy/analysis varies depending on each individual’s needs and may extend over months or years.

Jungian analysis requires a serious commitment on the part of both analyst and analysand. It can be a profound, transformative experience leading to a life lived more meaningfully in alignment with one’s authentic Self.

“It is a matter of saying yea to oneself, of taking oneself as the most serious of tasks, of being conscious of everything one does, and keeping it constantly before one’s eyes in all its dubious aspects—truly a task that taxes us to the utmost.” —Carl G. Jung

Archetypal Pattern Analyst

Like the pieces on a chess board, we play the game of life according to patterns. A novice chess player can hold about six moves in advance, while a chess master can hold as many as 20. While not proscriptive, archetypal pattern analysis can be predictive; it can read and translate the unfolding pattern of a life, a business, a creative endeavour, or a relationship.

Whether in the therapeutic milieu as a Jungian analyst or registered psychotherapist, or in mentoring or consulting, I provide translations of patterns embedded in behaviours that can help you realign energies and produce more generative results.

Master Dream Pattern Analyst

There is much that passes for dream interpretation in the current “Spirit of the Times.” Jung and his contemporaries were more interested in the “Spirit of the Depths.” Dreams are to the individual what fairy tales are to the collective, or myths are to an epoch. Knowing what and who is dreaming us is key.

At the heart of every dream is the systolic and dystolic beating of the archetype. Complexes—which become your subjective lenses—often impede the movement of objective truth and archetypal energy. The archetypes are nature and, like nature, they are self-regulatory, self-organizing, and ever striving to manifest fully in your life. Dreams show you the map, and archetypal dream pattern analysis invites you into the adventure of the unexplored territory.

In this role, I listen deeply to the story your soul is speaking in both symbol and symptom. I translate this story and help you to evaluate the literal, subjective and objective mandates of your life in accordance with your deepest Self.

Forest Therapy Facilitator

Forest Therapy at FoxHaven offers an opportunity to step away from the noise of daily life and enter a living conversation with nature, imagination, and the deeper wisdom within.

Unlike a hike or a counselling session conducted outdoors, Forest Therapy is a guided symbolic experience rooted in Jungian psychology, story, and the healing presence of the natural world.

Forest Therapy can be especially helpful during periods of transition, grief, burnout, creative impasse, spiritual questioning, retirement, relationship challenges, or whenever life feels crowded with concerns that cannot be solved through thinking alone.

The forest has long been the setting of transformation in fairytales. Heroes and heroines enter the woods lost, confused, or burdened, and emerge carrying new wisdom. Forest Therapy invites you into that same ancient journey.

Presenter & Workshop Facilitator

For more than 40 years, I have worked as a teacher, presenter, and workshop facilitator, guided by a lifelong devotion to story in all its forms. Honoured as a Keeper of Stories, I have spent decades exploring the wisdom carried through fairy tales, myth, literature, ancestral teachings, and popular culture.

My work is rooted in the belief that stories are living vessels of psychological, cultural, and spiritual truth. As an avid reader and interpreter of fairytales and symbolic narratives, I am continually drawn to the unfolding zeitgeist of our times and the ways ancient images continue to speak through modern life.

I have taught in 10 provinces across Canada and in 10 countries internationally, offering lectures, seminars, retreats, and immersive workshops that invite participants into deeper relationship with imagination, psyche, and soul.

Currently, I lead two international fairytale seminars and serve as faculty with JungArchademy, Morbid Anatomy, and the C. G. Jung Institute Zurich, where I continue to share a lifelong passion for symbolic life, storytelling, and the transformative wisdom of the imaginal world.

Author

As an author, I write at the threshold where myth becomes mirror and the unconscious speaks through symbol, dream, and image. My work weaves together fairytales, depth psychology, spirituality, and lived experience into soulful explorations of the human journey.

Rooted in the Jungian tradition and shaped by a lifelong devotion to story, my books invite readers into a lyrical and imaginal world where ancient tales continue to illuminate the path of individuation, healing, and spiritual transformation. I am particularly drawn to the wisdom carried by fairytales, the symbolic language of dreams, and the enduring questions of meaning, suffering, vocation, and becoming.

In 2025, I released my first two books, Baba Yaga’s Wisdom: A Jungian Spiritual Memoir and Toward a Sacred End: Jungian Individuation and the Liturgical Cycle. In 2026, this journey continued with the publication of Mater Misericordiae: A Jungian Crone in the Church—a reflection on aging, soul, mercy, and the sacred vocation of the elder woman.
