Coaching for Writers and Thinkers
A space to strengthen your voice, clarify your ideas, and build confidence in how you write and speak about your work.
Drawing on eight years of university teaching, I offer coaching that focuses on real-time conversation, mindset shifts, and strategic development. This is ideal for writers, scholars, and thought leaders looking to deepen their craft, clarify their message, or become more agile and confident communicators.
What to Expect from Coaching
Strategic Clarity — I identify patterns, habits, and obstacles in your process, then develop practical ways to address them.
Mindset Shifts — Many writers find that their biggest breakthroughs happen not on the page, but in how they think about their work.
Real-Time Skill Building — Sessions focus on analysis, guided exercises, and discussion to sharpen your writing and speaking performance.
Sustained Growth — My approach draws on pedagogical methods refined through years of teaching at the university level, adapted to your specific goals.
“She helped me overcome my fear of breaking the parts I didn’t want to break—but with her help, they morphed into something better.”
“Meetings with her are like mini philosophical lessons—they’re always enlightening.”
“I am a significantly better writer because her process showed me how to adapt her method to my own self-editing.”

Case Study: Rediscovering Confidence on the Page
Through guided exercises and mindset shifts, this writer rebuilt his confidence and reconnected with the joy of writing.
When this writer came to coaching, he felt stuck—struggling to keep up with writing tasks at work and doubting his own ability to communicate clearly. Each new assignment seemed to reinforce his hesitation.
During our sessions, we worked through short, focused exercises designed to reveal where his process was breaking down. Together, we identified the roadblocks holding him back and built a simple toolbox of strategies he could use to approach each writing task with more confidence and clarity.
Over time, the shift was clear: he began writing with ease, finishing projects more efficiently, and speaking about his ideas with renewed assurance. The confidence he regained in his writing extended well beyond the page.
