Many people seeking support feel stuck in the same problems, recognizing that their challenges are tied to past experiences. They often wrestle with self-criticism, knowing they are capable of more but uncertain about what steps to take. Dana approaches this work with deep compassion, helping clients understand how they interpreted past experiences and guiding them in re-processing these memories so they no longer feel trapped. Using dreams as a guide and tool, Dana can gain insight into the client’s identity and wishes. Dreams provide a direct window into a client’s most pressing issues and begin to symbolize the steps they can take to create the life they want.
