Who I Work With

If You Are an Artist in ANY creative field... 
You are probably one of my "Creative Geniuses!"

What’s a "Creative Genius?"

One of the roots of the word genius means “to bring into being.”  So, my creative geniuses bring things into being!  You might be a screenwriter, actor, director, musician, visual artist, dancer, producer, game designer, coder… The list goes on.

Bottom line, you create things and experiences for people and make the world a better place!

I have a special place in my heart and in my coaching practice for artists of all types. So, if we're a coaching match, we can probably work together.   That being said, I have worked with all types of folks, from many different fields, from all around the world... So, scroll down or click the list below, and see where you might fit in!  Then... let's have a chat.

Where Spotlight Meets Inner Light: Coaching for Actors & Performers

Acting isn't just a profession; it's a calling. Whether you're a budding star taking your first steps onto the stage, or a seasoned actor used to the dazzle of the spotlight, the journey in the world of performing arts is as challenging as it is rewarding.

So, my actor friends, what's your story?

• You've worked on your craft, but still there is that uncertainty... "Am I good enough?" ... "Will they cast me? I mean I'm perfect for it!"... "That CD doesn't like me, I know it!"
• Imposter syndrome runs rampant
• Audition nerves still get the best of you, even if you've been in the industry for years.
• Balancing personal life with erratic schedules? It's like juggling, and you're always one slip away from dropping a ball.
• Rejection isn't new, but it never gets easier. Sometimes staying positive is a bitch!
• When you're on a "role" (see what I did there...) you're unstoppable. But in between? Motivation wanes and doubts creep in... mmmm that couch looks comfy.
• Keeping up with the industry's ever-changing demands feels like a marathon... Where did I put my ring light?
• You prioritize everyone else's feedback over your own intuition. After all, it IS a business of opinions. Sometimes you just want to scream, tell me who you want me to be.  Sometimes even in your outloud voice... then you get really embarrassed.
• Emotions? They're your tools of the trade, but sometimes they flood into other aspects of life, making balance tricky.

Here's where the magic happens.

With me as your coach, you have a truth teller, an advocate, a champion, and someone to kick you in the ass when you need it. We'll navigate the unpredictable waters of the biz, focusing on resilience, confidence, and authenticity. I'll help you hone not just your life skills, but also your mental and emotional toolkit. Together, we'll create a plan where your passion thrives, your unique voice echoes, and every audition and performance feels like a standing ovation.

Crafting Worlds with Words: Coaching for Writers & Screenwriters

Writing isn't just an act; it's alchemy. From the eager beginner penning their first lines to the established author or screenwriter weaving intricate tapestries of story, the literary journey is both enchanting and demanding.

As a Storyteller, do these thoughts seem familiar?

• Thinking through your many writing ideas can feel so exhilarating that you sometimes feel like you have done something when you haven't.
• The literary and cinematic landscapes are ever-evolving. Finding and maintaining your unique voice amid trends can be challenging.
• Drafts and redrafts pile up, each one inching closer to "perfection," yet there's always something to tweak. Is it ever going to be good enough?
• Every critique or feedback, whether mild or cutting, often feels like a direct commentary on your soul. Enter, fraud factor.
• Passion is your driving force, but writer's block, rejection, or self-doubt often lurk, ready to halt your flow.

Enter the next chapter of your writing journey.

As your coach, I'll support you to be the author your own success story.
