What I enjoy most now is working with youth to discover the joy of unveiling the beauty of the inner world even in the most entangled emotional turmoil. Ever since I was a young girl, I was a daydreamer. This is one aspect of myself that has not changed over the years. I think it is important for anyone to be able to dream and to give new meanings and realizations to their dreams. This is probably why I became a counselor and a developmental and cultural psychologist.
Dreams can be passionate, sad, exciting or joyous.
Through dreams, we can be transported to a world of thrills and excitement, of friends and family or even of past eras or the future. We can build houses, travel to faraway lands, become an insect, hold a conversation with Mozart, take a walk through a meadow of wildflowers or go on an adventure through the Amazon rain forest. Dreaming presents a playful spirit and through the meaning-making of our dreams, evolves engagement, curiosity and discovery. Sharing dreams takes courage, but it encourages us to tell a story and to build relationships through it. These are some of the wonderful elements that I incorporate into the design of my living even today.
