About Me
I did not believe I was a creative strategist because I did not have a PhD or the accolades to prove my abilities. The wisdom that comes with age opens the door to doubt, but it also opens the door wider to possibility. I was born looking at the invisible, an abstract image that does not exist and is often missing from reality. I always needed to figure out what to do with this vision. I remember trying to find myself (well, most days) and meeting people from all walks of life. One day, during an informational interview, a designer suggested that if I was a real visionary, I should start a band. I could not see myself on the front line of a band, so I joined creative businesses on the front line. I decided not to study philosophy because my creativity led me more toward concrete thinking.
So how does a deep thinker, a believer in equality and humanity, create happiness? Finding our role and agency can be separate from finding our calling or purpose in life. I needed to dig deeper than the surface of my career. My career was the symptom of a more profound wish for my life. This deeper desire has been marinating for decades through the study of the wisdom of depth and Jungian psychology. I believe in the power of synchronicity and symbols to illuminate my path. I continually discover the beauty and artistry inherent in active imagination and the unconscious. I combine this with my decades of business strategy experience to identify actionable insights. It is a powerful and transformative way of looking at two sides of AI – active imagination and actionable insights.
I am an Archetypal Pattern Analyst™️ (from the Assisi Institute: International Center for the Study of Archetypal Patterns) and help individuals and organizations uncover the deep patterns, archetypes, and symbolic narratives that shape their behavior, identity, and choices. By analyzing recurring themes and psychological structures, I reveal the hidden storylines that drive outcomes in personal, creative, and brand contexts.
As a Jungian coach (with IACTM accreditation)with an advanced certified dream analysis from the Assisi Institute, I find that working together to understand symbolic perception and active imagination provides psychological and narrative insight. My intuitive and analytical hybrid skills can help resolve confusion related to identity, relationships, or career transition. Through shadow pattern analysis and an integration plan, you will discover that what may initially seem like a setback is often an invitation for growth. Learn how to intentionally engage with unconscious and tap into creative potential that brings new ideas and perspectives. The creative unconscious is helping us to become whole and live with purpose. It’s such an enlivening process!
My Scarab Logo
A scarab can be a symbol of synchronicity and transformation. I also see a scarab as a symbol of meaning in an interconnected reality.
Red Book footnote: In synchronicity as a principle of acausal connection (1952), Jung wrote The scarab is a classical rebirth symbols. According to the description in the anciaent Egyptian book, Am-Tuat, the dead sun God transforms himself at the tenth station into Khepri, the scarab, as such mounts the barge at the twelfth station, which raises the rejeuventaed sun into the morning sky.
“The object found as if by chance is situated at the point of connection between external nature, perception, and the unconscious.” – Andre Breton
