Getting Started

If you are curious or have always been interested in your dreams and would like to start sessions with me, we could work one-on-one in weekly or bi-weekly sessions, either face-to-face, via Skype, or on the phone, regardless of your location. Your dreams will be our guide and teacher, and we will embark together on your unique journey.  I will process your dreams with a Master Analyst through supervision sessions. This means you will be supported on multiple levels as you step in. Dreamwork retreats, where we work with each person’s dream in a safe and small group setting, are available as well across the United States.

My Background and Training

I worked for 20 years as a special educator and school psychologist in Connecticut and upstate New York. In this capacity, I ran groups and offered psychological services, including learning evaluations for students with learning disabilities as well as individual therapy for students who experienced abuse. I also provided workshops to school faculties about the impact of abuse on learning.

For 20 years I worked at the Stern Center for Learning in Burlington Vermont. As a clinical diagnostician, I evaluated children and adults to explore their learning preferences, and developed intervention with schools and universities to help individuals reach their academic and personal potential. I developed professional development courses for teachers working with students and adults who learn differently. I also managed the Stern Center individualized teaching clinic to plan effective instruction. 

I have been a student and client at the Center for Archetypal Dreamwork in Montpelier, Vermont for 10 years. For the past few years I have been in advanced classes and seminars with Students of the Dream. With this advanced training and my own individual and group dream sessions, I continue to learn from my dreams as well as my clients’ dreams every day.

I underwent Hospice volunteer training recently, and am currently a witness and companion to hospice clients as they prepare for their own passing. I offer dream sessions in  person and on the phone to assist others to decipher their own dream messages. My most engaging work at present is with small groups of new dreamers who meet monthly to enact their dreams in a process of self-discovery through dramatic embodiment.
