“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate”
C. G. Jung
MY PRACTICE IS CURRENTLY WAITLISTED AND MY WAITLIST IS CLOSED.
WE ARE UNABLE TO OFFER REFERRALS TO OTHER PRACTITIONERS.
As a Jungian Psychoanalyst (IAAP) and Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO), I blend the profound depths of Jungian psychology with a rich tapestry of somatic understanding to guide individuals through the complex terrains of existence. With over two decades steeped in the practices of somatic and movement therapies, I honour the intricate dance between the corporeal and the psyche, facilitating the journey toward rediscovering vitality, hope, and a deeper relationship with Self.
My journey is illuminated by my lifelong commitment to living more consciously and my ongoing personal psychoanalysis, grounding my commitment to the transformative odyssey of my clients. Nurturing an ethos of collaborative exploration, I walk alongside individuals as they navigate the labyrinthine landscapes of their inner worlds. Celebrating the unique essence of each person's path, I cultivate a climate of curiosity, creativity, self-compassion and possibility, inviting them to embark on the sacred journey of self-discovery with courage and authenticity.
At different times in our lives, we all long to fall back in love with being alive and to find deeper meaning. To get there requires depth based work and a capacity to be in liminality.
In our 50-minute sessions, we embark on a journey that intertwines various practices artfully aligned with your individual path. Rooted in Jungian theory, our exploration encompasses talk therapy, embodied dream analysis, somatic symbolism, and intuitive movement imbued with symbolic significance. Through the vehicle of embodied active imagination, we venture into the depths of your unconscious, unlocking the latent wisdom that resides therein, thereby forging a profound connection with both the outer world and the intricate realms of your psyche.
Moreover, my proficiency extends to discerning the intricate interplay between trauma and the corporeal form, recognizing its impact on our vitality and innate capacity for wholeness. Guided by Jungian temenos, I shed light on the manifold ways in which trauma shapes the psyche, facilitating a path towards more aliveness and integration.
What to expect when you work with me.
Talk Therapy: Exploration of your personal history to help you understand your struggles now. Understanding the impact your past has on your present will naturally emerge in our work together. Even while talking, I practice in a way that never leaves awareness of the body out of the process.
Dream Analysis: Using the technique of Jungian dream analysis, we can explore how your unconscious psyche is trying to support the process of you coming into wholeness and bringing you closer to your Self.
Somatic Practices : If you’re pulled to understanding how your body is constantly communicating your feelings, repressed memories, deeper wisdom and intuition, we can explore this together in analysis and help you carry this into your daily life. Through increased somatic acuity, you will be able to access more of your unconscious and bring your moment to moment inner workings into awareness. This can result in greater ability to process traumatic stress and diminish, emotional defenses and dialogue consciously with complexes.
Relational movement: Through safe connection and boundary-setting, my clients often feel more capable of exploring broader dimensions of movement, which allows them to awaken new aspects of themselves that may have been lying dormant or are yet to be discovered—often helping them to be braver in their professional, personal and therapeutic relationships. Through music, intuitive movement and embodied contemplative practices, clients experience connection with their deeper and most authentic Self.
