For Women Seeking Individual Psychotherapy in California and Oregon (Online)

Reclaim Your Voice, Confidence, and Inner Peace

Do you find yourself withdrawing from social situations due to fear of judgment or gossip? Have past experiences of exclusion, betrayal, or social anxiety left you feeling isolated and unheard? Are you longing to reconnect with your authentic self and build emotional resilience?

At DreamSomatix, I specialize in helping women navigate the emotional impact of social anxiety, gossip, and self-doubt. By working through the wisdom of your dreams, we uncover hidden strengths and reshape internal narratives that may be keeping you stuck in cycles of fear or insecurity.

In our work together, we will:

• Explore dream analysis to uncover the emotional and psychological patterns influencing your self-perception and confidence.

• Transform the fear of judgment by identifying the roots of social anxiety and working through unconscious defenses.

• Integrate shadow work to embrace hidden aspects of yourself, fostering self-compassion and personal empowerment.

• Develop grounding rituals and sleep practices to regulate anxiety, improve rest, and enhance emotional resilience.

• Use mythic storytelling and archetypal exploration to reframe limiting beliefs and step into a more authentic, self-assured version of yourself.

Through Dream Psychotherapy©, we address the unconscious fears and wounds that fuel self-doubt, helping you reclaim trust in your own voice. Whether you're navigating professional spaces, personal relationships, or creative endeavors, this work will support you in overcoming social anxiety and stepping into your full power.

If you’re ready to move beyond the shadows of self-doubt and embrace a more confident, authentic life, I invite you to begin this journey with me.
