Most artists aren't taught how to deal with the (often debilitating) doubts and worries that accompany our creative and professional practices. My coaching gives them a supportive framework to enlarge their confidence, become more courageous, and make the work that they're here to make.

My work is backed by certifications from:

• the Academy for Coaching Excellence
• the International Coaching Federation

and informed by:

• an MFA in studio art from the California College of the Arts
• a Graduate Certificate in Cognitive Science from the University of Colorado
• continuing education in trauma-informed coaching and coaching for liberation.

My care for my fellow artists is also shaped by my experience of writing about art for magazines like Artforum, Art in America, and Frieze; teaching and mentoring at the California College of the Arts, the Pacific Northwest College of the Arts, and the TopMinds program; serving as a juror/reviewer for organizations in the US and Poland; and working with the Ford Family Foundation and the Andy Warhol Foundation on funding for artists and arts nonprofits.

The artistic life is a journey, and the key to success is clarity. I help my clients clear the fog from their path so that they can achieve their studio and career goals. Artists who have worked with me have won grants and awards; exhibited in solo and group shows locally, nationally, and internationally; started relationships with new galleries; gained self-confidence in their professional communications; and developed tools and skills that will continue to aid them long after our sessions conclude.

If you’re feeling uncertain or frustrated, our work together will illuminate your way forward, develop your focus, and empower you to produce real, measurable results.
