Dreamwork &
Creative Process
Facilitated sessions with dreams, images, and art-making, in Boulder, Colorado, and online.
Dreams and images carry their own kind of intelligence. They speak in a language older than explanation, and they often reveal more when we stay with them than when we hurry to decide what they mean.
These sessions are a place to slow down with whatever is arising: a recurring dream, an image that won’t leave you, or a creative process that has stalled or wants to go deeper. Together we attend closely to the image itself, its details, moods, and movements, and let it lead.
This is not psychotherapy. There’s no diagnosis or treatment plan to follow, just curiosity, art materials, and time to stay with what your dreams are showing you.
WHAT A SESSION MAY INCLUDE
-
Exploring a dream or image through conversation and close attention

Active imagination: engaging the figures and landscapes of a dream as living presences

Art-making in response, with clay, paint, collage, or drawing. No experience needed.
-
Noticing how an image moves through the body

THE LINEAGE
This work draws on depth psychology, particularly the work of C.G. Jung and James Hillman, along with Robert Johnson’s Inner Work and my own research into how images move and evolve when we stay in relationship with them.
WHO IT'S FOR
People drawn to their dreams, creatives, artists and makers, and anyone curious about the images that shape their inner life and willing to stay with them for a while.

FAQ'S
WHAT IS DREAMWORK?
Dreamwork is the practice of exploring dreams through attention, conversation, imagination, and creative expression, without reducing them to a single fixed meaning. In my sessions, we stay close to the dream’s images, moods, and movements and let them lead, drawing on depth psychology, active imagination, and art-making.
WHAT HAPPENS IN A DREAMWORK/CREATIVE PROCESS SESSION?
In a dreamwork session, you bring a dream or an image that has stayed with you, and we explore it together through conversation, art-making, and active imagination. We might sketch or sculpt a figure from the dream, speak with a dream character, or simply slow down with a single detail until something new becomes visible.
WHAT IS ACTIVE IMAGINATION?
Active imagination is a method developed by C.G. Jung for engaging dream figures and inner images while awake, as if they were living presences you can speak with. Robert Johnson describes it in detail in his book Inner Work, and it is one of the main practices I use in sessions.
DO I NEED ART MAKING EXPERIENCE?
No art experience is needed. The materials are a way of noticing, not a performance, and simple media like clay, collage, or pastel make it easy to begin. If you’d rather not make art, we can work through conversation, writing, or imagination.
IS A DREAMWORK/CREATIVE PROCESS SESSION THE SAME AS THERAPY?
No. These dreamwork sessions are creative and contemplative facilitation, not psychotherapy. There is no diagnosis or treatment plan. If it becomes clear that therapeutic support would serve you better, I’ll help connect you with appropriate resources.
DO YOU INTERPRET MY DREAMS?
I don’t hand you a fixed interpretation of your dream. Influenced by James Hillman’s approach of “sticking with the image,” we explore what the dream shows and how it moves, so its meaning can unfold over time instead of being decided all at once.
WHAT IF I DON'T REMEMBER MY DREAMS?
You can still work with me if you don’t remember your dreams. We can begin with a waking image, a recurring symbol, a piece of artwork, or a fragment of a dream, and I can share simple practices to help with dream recall.
WHERE ARE SESSIONS HELD?
In-person sessions take place at my art studio in North Boulder, Colorado. Online sessions are available anywhere.
HOW MUCH DO DREAMWORK SESSIONS COST?
A single 60-minute session is $125 online or $150 in person, with art materials included in person. The four-week series is $400 online or $480 in person.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SINGLE SESSION AND THE SERIES?
A single session is an introduction to working with a dream or image, and you’re welcome to come back whenever a dream asks for attention. The four-week series is a sustained relationship with one dream, following it through several stages of exploration and watching how it changes over time.
HOW DO I GET STARTED?
You can begin by scheduling a free 15-minute conversation to see whether this work is a good fit for you.
