EXPLORE YOUR DREAMS, EXPAND YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS
DREAMWORK
AN APPROACH TO PERSONAL GROWTH
You wake with your heart still pounding and your chest tight, and maybe your face is wet. The feeling doesn’t leave when your eyes open. It stays with you through the first cup of coffee, sitting in your stomach like a knot, or like a pull you can’t name that feels like urgency and longing at once. So you go back over it. On the drive to work you turn the images around in your head (the color of a door, a sentence someone said that almost made sense), hoping one of the pieces will give.
Then you tell someone, and they shrug and say, “It’s just a dream.” For a moment you wonder if they’re right and you’re making too much of it. Some part of you isn’t convinced, though. Whatever happened in the night seemed to be about something.
Whatever the dream left you with, it didn’t feel like something you could ignore.
Where Dream Life and Waking Life Meet
Dreams can seem random, but they rarely feel that way while you’re in them. You might be walking through a house you’ve never seen, talking with someone who died years ago, or running from something you can’t see, and your body reacts as if it’s really happening. Sometimes the feeling follows you into the day, along with a sense that the dream was trying to tell you something.
Often it was. Dreams tend to pick up what we’re carrying, like the fear we haven’t said out loud or the question we keep putting off. In our sessions, you bring a dream and we look at it together. We’ll talk about what stands out to you and what the images might be pointing to, then see where it touches what’s going on in your life right now. My hope is that you leave understanding yourself a little better, in your own words rather than mine.
Every dream holds meaning, and each one deserves to be acknowledged.
HOW DREAMWORK SESSIONS LOOK
In dreamwork sessions with me, I bring curiosity, compassion, and a focus on growth. You’ll have a supportive space to share and explore your dreams, reflect on the insights they carry, and connect them to your inner life. Together, we will:
Be Curious
Explore your dreams with openness and a sense of wonder, noticing the details, emotions, and patterns without rushing to conclusions.
Be Compassionate
Create a safe and supportive space where every part of your dream—and every part of you—can be welcomed without judgment.
Focus on Growth
Reflect on the insights your dreams offer and consider how they can support your self-understanding and personal development.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Dreamwork means paying close attention to your dreams and asking what they might have to say. While you sleep, the mind keeps working on things you may not be fully aware of during the day, like a worry you’ve pushed aside or a feeling you haven’t named yet. In dreamwork, we start with what you remember, whether that’s a single image or a long, strange story, and slow down with it. What stood out? How did it feel? Where have you felt that before? Little by little, the dream starts to connect with your waking life, and you may come away seeing yourself a bit more clearly.
-
Your dreams often know something before you do. Pay attention to them for a while and you may start to see the same situations coming back, or a feeling that keeps showing up in different forms, and that can shed light on what you’re facing during the day.
-
Yes! If you’re curious about your dreams, that’s really all you need. Some people come because a dream has stayed with them and they want to understand it. Others are going through something hard and want another way of looking at it. You don’t need to remember your dreams perfectly or know anything about symbols. We’ll work with whatever you bring.
-
Not necessarily. Even if you don’t remember every detail, we can work with what you do recall, including feelings, fragments, or recurring patterns. Techniques like journaling, guided reflection, and dream prompts can also help improve recall over time.
-
Any dream is welcome, including the frightening ones and the ones that make no sense at all. Those often turn out to have the most to say. In a session, we go at your pace, and nothing you bring is too strange or too dark to talk about.
-
I work with dreams mostly by feel, drawing on Jungian and depth psychology, on attention to the body, and on shamanic practice. Underneath all of it is a belief that dreams come from a part of us that knows things we haven’t caught up to yet.
When you bring me a dream, I won’t tell you what it means. Instead, I’ll ask questions and notice where you pause or light up, and sometimes I’ll ask what a moment in the dream felt like in your body. The meaning tends to come from you, often in a way that surprises you. From there, we look at how it connects to your life and what it might be asking of you now.
-
Just come as you are and bring whatever you remember, even if it’s only a fragment. If you’d like to do a little more, try keeping a notebook by your bed and writing down a few words as soon as you wake, before the dream fades. Jot down how you felt, too, not only what happened. That’s often where we start.
