1:1 coaching

Want to level up your creative work? Come back from burnout with better boundaries? Plan for your next work chapter? I can help you get where you want to be.

  • Writers, journalists, filmmakers, artists, and anyone who sees themselves as a storyteller. I’m especially committed to supporting women of color.

    Coaching might be right for you if:

    • You don’t want a cookie-cutter formula, but a space to get clear on what’s right for you.

    • You’re ready to take action and accountability.

    • You want guidance from someone who gets where you’re coming from.

  • I typically offer two coaching options:

    • A one-time, 90-minute deep dive session

    • A custom package that includes: biweekly coaching sessions, 24/5 text and email support, and resources to support self-reflection, planning, and action-taking
