About

What is a coach?

A coach is a guide and mentor who empowers you and provides ongoing support and guidance as you discover your voice, set goals, and make sustainable changes that improve your well-being, clarity, and sense of purpose.

About Me

I have a background in the arts including dance, photography, film, and collage as well as a BA in art history from Cornell University, an MA in film and media studies from University of Southern California, and an MFA in creative nonfiction writing from University of Arizona. I am also a certified Holistic Health Coach and Yoga and Meditation Teacher working toward my license in clinical social work. I have lived and worked in many different countries with people of diverse cultural backgrounds. I currently live in the Finger Lakes region of New York and find deep inspiration in nature.

Blog

In my Creative Recovery blog, I write about what limits and what serves our self-expression and creative potential. Topics range from exploring the inner critic to cultivating mindfulness and self-compassion.

Photos

Images of my travels around the world and a look into my life. I love learning and meeting new people. I travel with my partner, Tim, savoring the unexpected and embracing the unknown.

As a coach, I put the power back in YOUR hands.
