Hello, and welcome!

I’m thrilled to have you here as I embark on this exciting new chapter. Launching my coaching and consulting practice has been a huge leap of faith, resulting from intense discernment around my commitments and the realization that helping writers navigate their paths with clarity, confidence, and purpose is important to me in this next chapter.

The collage above is my way of celebrating the start of a new year and the beginning of an exciting new chapter. Though I’m a novice, I love the process of collage-making—bringing together different pieces to create a story feels so similar to the craft of writing. Perhaps that’s why it resonates with me so deeply.

Why I Started This Business

For years, I’ve had the privilege of working with writers, educators, and creative professionals—people driven by ideas, stories, and the desire to make meaningful contributions to the world. Through these experiences, I’ve seen firsthand how support and community can transform goals into reality.

I’ve also seen and experienced how caregiving can make writing challenging. It can make everything complicated, but it can feel all but impossible for those trying to balance caring for others and their writing. I know that I can’t solve everything when it comes to this–and truly, we need change and support on several levels–but what I have learned is the importance of community and realizing that for those of us in this position, a one-size-fits-all approach to writing is not going to work. I can help with that.

Whether you’re striving to finish (or start!) a book project, trying to revise that journal article and make sense of how to do what both reviewers one and two are asking, or crafting materials for a job search or family history project, I can help you get there. My coaching approach is rooted in active listening, thoughtful questions, and strategies tailored to your unique needs, and my developmental editing approach is rooted in a commitment to the same.

What You Can Expect Here

This blog will provide insights, reflections, and practical tools to help you professionally and creatively. I’ll share tips on:

  • Building sustainable writing habits.
  • Writing while navigating transitions and moments of uncertainty.
  • Finding a balance between ambition and rest.

You can also find posts that include inspirational interviews with writers, artists, creatives, art, and music, and reflections on my move from higher education to starting my own business. I’m still a writer and researcher and hope to share my writing projects.

I also believe in the power of community. I hope this space inspires you to share your journey and connect with others who are doing the same.

Thank You for Being Here

Starting my coaching and consulting practice is both personal and professional—it’s a way for me to honor my own commitments while helping others uncover and pursue theirs. I am also grateful for the family and friends who have helped me get here.

I’m excited about the journey ahead and grateful for everyone who is part of it.
