Welcome,
fellow human.

I am human, nothing human can be alien to me.
— Dr. Maya Angelou (quoting Terence)

Are you feeling a little “off” lately? Down, anxious or unsure what comes next in life? Perhaps relationships aren’t working out or problematic patterns you want to quit just keep popping up. Maybe you find yourself struggling with wounds—fresh or years old—that need care and attention. Or it could be you just don’t feel like yourself and you’re not sure why.

To have concerns or problems—and to feel something about them (even if that feels like “nothing”)—means you’re human. And asking for help—especially when you’re suffering—is a very human and courageous act.

So welcome, fellow human.

Whatever discomfort, confusion or pain you are experiencing, therapy provides you with a place to work on and work out your concerns, to be heard and reflect, and to take some space for yourself. Together, we will explore the underlying reasons for your troubles, what it might mean for you to “feel better” and begin to live a more productive, meaningful and engaged life.

If you’re interested in working together, the first step is to request a free consultation session. Once you reach out, I’ll respond and we’ll put down some time where I can learn more about you and your needs, you can ask questions and we can discuss what it would look like for us to work together.

I’m glad you’re here. I look forward to connecting soon.

“There is an unseen life that dreams us;
It knows our true direction and destiny.
We can trust ourselves more than we realize,
And we have no fear of change.”
— John O’Donohue


Your inner wisdom is speaking.
Listen deeply & change your life.
Join
DREAMTIME.

Co-facilitated by Matthew Smith, LMHC and Graham Murtaugh, LMHC, Dreamtime is a collaborative approach to dreamwork creates an intentional space for a small group of dreamers to explore the wisdom, symbolism, and language of a dream in waking life. The group element is an essential part of tending to the dream, creating space for feedback, imagination, and intuition to guide dreamers into deeper knowing and self awareness.

What will I experience during Dreamtime?
Each dreamtime session includes a grounding centering practice and and for two dreamers to offer and explore a dream (with a facilitator and the group) before closing the experience.

Each week you will receive an email update with a simple practice to support and augment your dream practices between sessions.

What will I take away from Dreamtime?
Through Dreamtime you will have the opportunity to:

  • develop skills to work with dream content through embodied practice;

  • practice being a witness to your own and others’ dreams;

  • gain access to inner clarity and creative alignment; and

  • enjoy greater self awareness and support from tending to dream imagery

How big will the group be?
Space is limited to 4 participants in order to create a intimate container and provide each dreamer with two opportunities to present dream content over the course of the group.

Will I earn CEU’S from this group?
Dreamtime does not provide CEUs; this offering is designed for personal enrichment.


 

About Graham

Graham Headshot.jpg
 

A Pacific Northwest native, I have been providing therapy since 2017. I graduated from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology with a Masters in Counseling Psychology.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist (LH61040479) registered in Washington State.

I specialize in life transitions, religious or spiritual concerns, creativity and creative expression, healthy masculinity, grief and loss, and concerns related to the reproductive journey (in/fertility, IVF, pregnancy, pregnancy loss, parenthood), especially for men and male-identifying individuals.

While I draw on distinct modalities in my work (Internal Family Systems, dreamwork, psychodynamics, mindfulness), research tells us the relationship between therapist and client is the primary agent of change. As we explore the complexities of your life—the joys and sorrows and all the in-betweens—the relationship we build together will be the “container” we use to foster your growth and healing.

Outside the office, I enjoy spending time at Pt. Defiance Park, making art and learning out how to be a dad to my wild-haired toddler.
