DREAMWORK
& ACTIVE IMAGINATION
"It is our dreams that point the way to freedom."
--Audre Lorde
​
YOUR DREAMS ARE TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.
Through symbols and shifting landscapes, through figures who speak without words and doors that open onto the impossible — the unconscious finds its way to the truth your waking mind keeps circling around.
​
Your dreams may be pointing to what's keeping you stuck in that pattern. What that relationship is really asking of you. Where you've drifted from yourself. Why something feels subtly, persistently off — even when you can't quite name it.
​
"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 there is no solution, he can sometimes kindle a light that radically alters our attitude." --CG Jung​​​
​
This isn't dream interpretation. It's dream exploration.​
Nobody else can tell you what your dreams mean — they're created directly for you. But something shifts when a dream is truly heard and reflected back to you. Together we follow the thread until the truth resonates.
​
That moment of recognition — the felt sense of yes, that's it — is how we know we've arrived somewhere true.
Dreams are living mysteries to be explored, not dry problems to be solved; the process of walking through them offers its own insights.
​
​
Somatic & trauma-informed
Traditional dream interpretation can stay stuck in the head — analytical, intellectual, disconnected from lived experience. My approach is rooted in Jung's work and brought into the body.
​
When we invite somatic awareness into the dreamwork, the insights don't just register intellectually. They land differently — integrated, cellular, real.
​
This work is inherently trauma-informed. You are in the driver's seat throughout. We move at your pace, with curiosity and care, following what your body tells us is safe to explore.
"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
Active Imagination & Creative Expression
Dreams are one doorway in. There are others.
​
Active Imagination — a practice developed by Jung — uses creative expression to continue the dialogue with your unconscious beyond sleep. Drawing, painting, sculpture, poetry, storytelling, and improvisational movement are all ways to uncover deeper truths.
​
For clients who want to go further, these modalities become a living practice of inner work — not just a way to understand yourself, but a way to know yourself, continually and more fully.
Is this work for you?
​
Embodied Dreamwork is especially valuable if you're curious about your dream life, feeling stuck in your inner work, or looking for a fresh lens alongside other therapeutic support. It works particularly well as a complement to NARM Coaching or Somatic Coaching & Mindful Movement.
​
A note of care: Dreamwork may not be the right starting point if you are currently experiencing active trauma symptoms without other qualified mental health support. If you're unsure, reach out — I'm happy to talk it through with you.
