coaching

Collaborative. Rigorous. Warm. Published author and certified coach, I help writers and thought leaders access their best work.

Maybe you’re feeling stuck, or harboring doubts, or your daily routine seems unsuited for the deep work writing requires.

That’s where I can help.

I’m a former academic, a credentialed coach and a traditionally published novelist with HarperCollins.

I understand both the craft of writing and the harder, quieter parts of the process: the blank page, the stuck middle, and that exasperated moment of asking, “What in the world am I even trying to say?”

Working with me involves human to human connection. I get to know your goals and your challenges and help you map, and take, the steps in between. I ask thoughtful questions, listen deeply, and tell you what I’m noticing.

Who I Coach

  • Academics: navigating the isolation of dissertation writing, tenure-track pressure, or the myth that this work has to happen alone. I’ll think alongside you as you protect the time and focus your research deserves.
  • Experts & Thought Leaders: professionals, whose ideas matter, but who’ve lost the routine, confidence, or momentum to get the work onto the page. I coach program leaders, consultants, executives and others with something important to say.
  • Creatives: novelists, memoirists and other artists navigating the parts that don’t show up on the page. When doubts, indecision and distractions sabotage your progress, I’ll help you cross the finish line.

The Long Game

Looking for ongoing coaching over several months? Ask me about The Long Game package (available in 3-month increments).


Not sure where to start? 

Every new engagement begins with a Design Session. Should you continue into one of the longer engagements, the Design Session counts toward your overall package in price and number.

Your new thinking partner…

Deep thinkers are critical change agents. Whether you’re penning novels or nonfiction, writers can be “pioneers of a better age” (Ikeda). Your work matters. 

Let’s get it done, together.
