Writing Coaching & Creative Support
Whether you're beginning a new project, revising a finished draft, or returning to a manuscript that's been waiting patiently, each stage of the writing process brings its own challenges—and its own opportunities for discovery.
For more than twenty years, I've taught writing in classrooms, workshops, and one-on-one settings. Alongside that work, I've spent years studying mindfulness, yoga, and creativity. Those experiences have shaped how I work with writers.
I believe good writing comes not only from stronger sentences but from paying attention to ourselves and our environments.
My goal is to help you reconnect with your voice, deepen your ideas, and move your project forward with greater confidence and intention.
My Approach
I believe creativity is deeply connected to attention, energy, and the way we move through the world. Perfectionism, self-doubt, burnout, and overwhelm can shape the writing process just as much as plot, structure, or style.
My years as a writer, professor, yoga teacher, and nature lover have taught me that noticing is a creative skill. The more deeply we learn to observe, the more honestly and confidently we can write. I've found that our best work begins with paying attention—to our thoughts, our bodies, our surroundings, and the questions and patterns that keep bubbling up in our lives.
Together, we'll strengthen your writing while cultivating a creative practice that feels sustainable, intentional, and true to your voice.
