Jungian Strategy
Confidential counsel for consequential decisions and creative impasses.
Your project has lost its original pulse. A collaboration keeps returning to the same conflict. A consequential decision remains unresolved despite thought, experience, and effort.
Archetypal patterns shape the roles we inhabit, the conflicts we repeat, and the creative possibilities we have yet to claim.
I offer confidential Jungian counsel for leaders, academics, creatives, and creative teams. Together, we explore what holds the situation in place and what is asking to emerge, opening greater freedom to choose, collaborate, and create.
Jungian Strategy: Face the dragon that guards your inner gold.
Shadow Consigliere: Face the unconscious forces that block what wants to be born through you
A Shadow Consigliere stays close enough to understand what you're navigating while holding enough distance to see beyond the perspectives inside it.
We attend to the dark shadow, including concealed aggression, envy, fear, and struggles around recognition, alongside the golden shadow of unrealized capacity. Dreams, symbols, bodily experience, and close attention to your situation help us discern how these forces enter the work and what needs to change.
Creative Impasse
When familiar ways of working lose their vitality, pushing harder can deepen the impasse. We explore what is interrupting your creative instinct, what may need time to develop, and whether the work is asking for a new direction. The aim is renewed contact with what you want to create and a clearer sense of how to give it form.
Shadow in Creative Collaboration
Competing visions, projections, unspoken loyalties, and tensions around authority can consume a team's creative energy. We examine what keeps repeating and what the conflict may be carrying, creating more room for honest collaboration and the capacities that remain unclaimed.
Consequential Decisions
Some decisions ask you to reconsider an identity, loyalty, or ambition that has organized your life. I offer a confidential place to examine these tensions, helping you move toward a choice you can inhabit with greater consciousness and conviction.
A depth of attention shaped by experience
I'm a Jungian Psychoanalyst, Registered Psychotherapist, writer, and creator of Jungian Somatics™ and a member of the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts (OAJA), affiliated with the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP), and a member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and the Canadian Association for Psychodynamic Therapy (CAPT).
My experience spans more than 26 years, including twelve years running a Toronto movement studio serving leaders, academics, artists, and creatives. My earlier career in human resources, labour relations, and organizational development grounds my understanding of power and collaboration.
Rigorous analytic formation, sustained personal analysis, and clinical supervision shape how I perceive unconscious patterns and stay with complexity. I'm currently writing a book for Routledge exploring psyche, body, and spiritual life.
