The Dreamcatcher Journey came about after I quit a decades-long alcohol addiction when I began songwriting in earnest. As a licensed psychotherapist, I became curious about the effect of creativity on addiction and mental health.
I began using creativity first in my own life. It became a road to recovery — without focusing on addiction, or any problem, but solely on creative work.
The mind registers what we focus on. If we focus on problems, they persist. If we focus on creating from a place of what makes us come alive, that becomes the outcome.
The work begins in the first session, where we brainstorm what makes you come alive, what you dream of bringing forth into the world, and develop a clear, concrete plan to manifest that dream into reality.
If the clarity of that session is all you need to run with it — wonderful. If you would like to continue on The Dreamcatcher Journey, for continued guidance, support, and accountability, then I would be honored to be your sherpa.
I use the lens of family systems, draw on Jungian principles, and apply Nathaniel Branden’s six pillars of self-esteem — alongside other philosophies, theories, and methods — to guide you toward creating the life you imagine to be your reality.
Had I had that kind of support, it would not have taken me two years to put the wine glass down for good.
The difference in doing this work, versus traditional therapy or coaching, is that you shift your focus, stay on the road not yet travelled, and learn to fly. The work is to find what works for you.
The first step is shifting focus to what makes you come alive, and building the life you dream of by continuing to do what makes you come alive. When we try to fix a problem while fitting into a life that does not allow us to be fully alive, we will never be free.
There will always be a gap between the life we are attempting to fit into, and the life where we actually thrive by being who we authentically are at a soul level.
The Dreamcatcher Journey closes this gap.
Are you ready to begin a life where you are fully alive?
