“As a plant produces its flower, so the psyche creates its symbols.” – Carl Jung

Creative Process and Dream Work
ROSEMARY STARACE, M.A.
I offer a safe, reflective space that welcomes depth and feeling, a place where you can bring forth anything: what is most alive in you, or most troubling, vulnerable or hard to accept. This work makes room for the tedious, the humorous, the painful, and the mysterious.
My work is informed by Jungian psychology and centers on the creative power of images — those symbolic and emotion-laden expressions that arise naturally in dreams, art, daydreams, and in the patterns of daily life.
Images come to everyone. I help people recognize and develop a relationship with their images, light or dark. Together we listen and look, without judgment, for what this inner material may be expressing about your life. We relate to images and feelings as sources of insight, support, and direction.
This work may be especially meaningful if you are:
• navigating a period of transition or loss
• feeling lost, fearful, or uncertain
• seeking to explore your creative or inner life more deeply
• drawn to dreams and symbolic imagery
• an artist seeking to deepen your relationship to your work
How We Work Together
Sessions are conversational and grounded, guided by what emerges. We attend closely to dreams, creative material you bring, or to the conversation itself, because conversation can also yield images.
These conversations become richer over time as we build trust and context. As such they work best as a weekly or bi-weekly commitment of one hour.
• I work via Zoom, or in person if local.
• I offer a free 30-minute introductory session.
• For ongoing sessions, I offer a sliding scale of $75–125.

Bio and Education
Rosemary Starace, M.A.
I am an artist and writer with a long-standing commitment to the creative process as a path of self-discovery and expression. Over decades, I have worked with individuals seeking to deepen their art and align more fully with their own creative process as a way of coming to know themselves and their work from within.
Through my work in the arts, I came to recognize the central role of images in both creative and psychological life. I have also come to understand self-acceptance itself as a creative process.
This recognition led me to Jungian psychology, with its focus on dreams and symbols as blueprints for each person’s unique unfolding.
