Life Transitions Coach

I work with clients navigating major life transitions—a new job or location, divorce, empty nest, retirement, losing a loved one, etc.—as well as self-motivated transitions. Serving as a guide, I help my clients renew their passion and purpose and restructure their lives to begin anew. Life changes are inevitable, and yes, part of life, but that doesn’t mean we know how to manage them or to find our way on our own. I’m here to help my clients find a new way forward. I provide the tools, the listening, the guidance, and the accountability. You do the work. I firmly believe that it’s your life, and it should be your way.

Writing Coach

I also function as a Writing Coach, drawing from my experience as a college writing and literature professor and my work as a writer and published author. I work with clients who want to explore writing for the first time, have a writing project they want to work towards, or make new goals as an already established writer. My passion for writing extends far beyond the thrill of publishing. I believe writing can save lives. I know that any kind of storytelling is imperative to our livelihood as human beings, in whatever form those stories are told. I’m here to help clients write their stories. Writing can help those experiencing major life transitions as well. They can go hand in hand.

  • For those experiencing a life-altering change, I provide tools, guidance, and accountability for navigating a meaningful way forward.

  • For those interested in embarking on a writing project but unsure of where to start or how to keep going, I provide the tools, feedback, and encouragement to reach your writing goal.

  • For those interested in using writing as one of the tools to explore and navigate a life-altering change in your life, I can lend my lifelong knowledge and experience to help you do just that.
