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.

Teacher

I have been a teacher for over 40 years. I have been a lover of story for as long as I can remember. I have been honoured as a Keeper of Stories. As an avid reader of fairy tales, literature and popular culture, I love to explore and share the unfolding zeitgeist of our times. I have taught in 10 provinces domestically and 10 countries internationally. Explorations of myth, fairy tales, literature, ancestral traditional teachings and popular culture continue to inform what I offer. Currently, I lead two international fairy tale seminars and serve as faulty with JungArchademy and the C. G. Jung Institute, Zurich.
