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.
This is dream exploration: we follow the thread until the truth resonates.
The average person has 3-6 dreams per night-- each of them a message from our unconscious psyche. This is a powerful, untapped source of wisdom and self-knowledge that can only come from within you.
When a dream is truly heard and reflected back to my client, there is often a breathtaking moment of insight that hours of talk alone could never have unearthed.
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. The process of walking through them offers its own insights.
Traditional dream interpretation can stay stuck in the head — analytical, dry, intellectual, disconnected from lived experience. My approach is rooted in a somatic approach to Jung's work.
Because your dreams are messages from your psyche, sharing insights you already know on the deepest level, 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.
Active Imagination & Creative Expression
In addition to dream work, my clients get to explore other ways to dialogue with their unconscious psyche.
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; a way to know yourself 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.
