Stacey assists clients in connecting with the wisdom in their own nature through work with their dreams.

Dreams supply what is lacking in the conscious attitude. They arise from the living waters of the psyche, the inexhaustible source of psychic and spiritual life.

When the customary approaches to life’s problems break down or life feels dull and flat, attending to dream images can restore a creative attitude to life.

Stacey’s areas of interest and experience include questions of life path and self-exploration, loss of meaning, spiritual growth, depression, creativity, and fostering connection within and with others.

She is versed in the creative process and the realization of creative vision through professional experience in television and film production.

The symbol speaks in many ways. Stacey incorporates decades of experience with the Tarot, astrology, the I Ching and other divinatory tools in her practice. Like dreams, they are of value because they invite synchronicity and the mysterious domain of intuition into the dialogue between consciousness and the unconscious.

Stacey is a graduate of the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts (OAJA).  She is President of OAJA, and is a faculty member of its Analyst Training Program as well. Stacey holds an honours Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Toronto and is a member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), the Canadian Association for Psychodynamic Therapy (CAPT), and the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP).

Positivity vs. Wholeness

The big thing these days is positivity. Be positive.  Don’t be negative.  If something tough happens and we’re venting, someone may say ‘don’t be so negative.’  This prevailing cultural value does put pressure on us to ‘see the positive’ in situations. But there are several dangerous pitfalls to 24/7 positivity. Pitfall #1: When we consider …

The Secret To Unblocking Your Creativity May Be In Your Dreams

As a Jungian Analyst, I have worked with clients who experience challenges to becoming the artists they want to be. Or perhaps they want to bring more vivacity and authenticity to their lives. To live more creatively.

What I have found is that blocks to creativity often appear in their dreams. Sometimes, we see parental attitudes to creative work showing up inside as barriers to self-expression. There can be perfectionism. Perhaps a tendency to toggle between feelings of inferiority and grandiosity. Sometimes addictions and compulsive behaviours show up too. There can also be vexing physical symptoms.

Feeling Blocked or Stuck?

“The unconscious mind of man sees correctly even when conscious reason is blind and impotent.” – C.G. Jung

The Fisherwoman - Redon

There are times in life when we come to a standstill.   

There is no flow, no joy, no clear path forward. At such times, working with a Jungian therapist on a guided exploration of one’s dreams can provide relief.

Jung wrote: “Dreams … are pure nature; they show us the unvarnished, natural truth, and are therefore fitted, as nothing else is, to give us back an attitude that accords with our basic human nature when our consciousness has strayed too far from its foundations and run into an impasse.” 

A feeling of emptiness and a loss of meaning can arise in one’s 30’s or 40’s. ‘I got everything I set out to achieve in life. Why don’t I feel fulfilled?’ ‘I thought I had things figured out, but now it feels like life is passing me by.’ ‘Why does life feel so blah?’ At these times, one’s forgotten inner life can yield meaning and renewal. Dreams lead the way to that inner life.

Depression can be an example of energy turning inward. By following that energy with a journey into one’s memories and dreams, one can find new pathways and renewed energy for life.
