DREAMWORK
"It is our dreams that point the way to freedom."
--Audre Lorde
​
YOUR DREAMS ARE TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.
"In each of us there is another whom we do not know. He speaks to us in dreams and tells us how differently he sees us from the way we see ourselves. When, therefore, we find ourselves in a difficult situation to which here is no solution, he can sometimes kindle a light that radically alters our attitude." --CG Jung​​​
​
Dreams are direct, honest communication from our higher self. They tell us exactly what's going on with that weird relationship, or job; what we need to hear to get unstuck; why we keep falling into that same self-sabotaging pattern; where we've strayed from our path; why we've been feeling just a little "off." ​
​
Most dream-seekers make two crucial mistakes when they begin to explore their own dreams. First, they resort to dream dictionaries or google searches, which do not align with the language of their own psyche. Second, they try to do the work on their own, which is really, really hard. Even Jung needed someone to hear his dreams!
​​
In dreamwork sessions, we share dreams, not to be interpreted, but to have them reflected meaningfully so that you can remember what you already know in your soul.
​
This is a powerful process of reconnection and self-exploration.
SOMATIC & TRAUMA-INFORMED. ​​​​
Traditional dream interpretation can feel overly intellectual and analytical-- even dissociative. Inviting the body into the process lets us map the wisdom of our unconscious into our waking life on a cellular level.
This approach is inherently trauma-informed. Your body will tell us how to proceed. Working together, you are in the driver's seat as we apply curiosity and kindness to the process. ​​​​
"To experience a dream and its interpretation is very different from having a tepid rehash set before you on paper. Everything about this psychology, is in the deepest sense, experience; the entire theory, even where it puts on the most abstract airs, is the direct outcome of something experienced.”
--CG Jung
DREAMWORK FAQ:
ARE YOU TAKING NEW CLIENTS?​
I have limited space for new clients, but would love to talk to you about working together with dreams.
​
HOW OFTEN SHOULD WE MEET?
This type of work is most effective when it is consistent; whether that's weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly is up to you.
​
WHAT DO WE DO DURING SESSIONS?
My clients may share their dreams with me beforehand via a shared document, or by email. Together, we'll review the dream , and "work" it together through dialogue, imagination, and creative practices.
​
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Dreamwork is especially potent if you are curious about your dreams! This work is for anyone who is drawn to it. It's a wonderful addition to other therapeutic work you may be doing as it adds insight that your conscious mind may struggle to connect to. However, dreamwork may not be appropriate for you if you are experiencing active trauma symptoms and/or do not have other qualified mental health care support, such as a licensed therapist.
​​
WHAT DOES IT COST?
Sessions are $140 USD/hour. While I have a limited amount of sliding scale spaces available, these are currently full. Preference is given to BIPOC and LGBTQ2S, those living with disabilities, and those living with lower income. If these apply to you, please contact me to be added to the sliding scale waitlist.
