Dreamwork Therapy Approach
IN SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA
WHAT IS DREAMWORK THERAPY?

Your dreams are not random—they are meaningful messages from within.

Dreamwork: Accessing the Wisdom of the Subconscious
Dreams offer a direct line to parts of you that don’t always speak through words. Through gentle inquiry, we explore their meaning together—not to decode, but to understand.
Welcoming the Dream: In our work, dreams are not judged, dismissed, or dissected. They are invitations. Each dream—whether beautiful, bizarre, or unsettling—is a message worth honoring.
Symbolic Insight: Rather than relying on outside interpretations, we explore what each element means to you. The imagery that shows up in your dreams is personal, and I’ll help you connect the dots with care and curiosity.
Integration and Embodiment: Dreamwork isn’t just about understanding—it’s about applying the insight. Whether that’s emotional release, journaling, ritual, or nervous system support, we find ways to bring your dreams into waking life.
A Place to Be Witnessed: Sometimes the most powerful part of dreamwork is simply saying the dream out loud and feeling seen. I hold space for all of it—the fear, the confusion, the beauty, and the mystery.
Hi, I’m Stephanie Brumfield
Licensed Therapist in California, Holistic Therapy & Spiritual Support
Hi, I’m Stephanie Brumfield, a holistic spiritual therapist, certified astrologer, and eternal seeker. Deeply attuned to the subtle and sensitive aspects of life, I specialize in creating a compassionate space for individuals who feel misunderstood or out of place due to their neurodivergence, beliefs, or values. My work focuses on helping clients navigate familial disconnect, societal expectations, and spiritual awakenings, guiding them on a journey from black sheep to holy outsider.
As someone who is neurodivergent (AuDHDer), I value soulful, meaningful connections and draw inspiration from the wisdom of nature, especially trees. With a deep passion for ancestral work, mythology, astrology, trauma healing, and dreams, I integrate these elements into a practice that honors the cyclical nature of death, rebirth, and transformation - a reflection of my Scorpio Moon. Whether I’m researching, reading, or listening to 90s grunge, my approach to healing is grounded in energy medicine, spirituality, and the belief that personal healing can ripple outward to transform the collective.
