My Approach
​
Good coaching is a partnership based on trust and generosity. I begin by asking lots of questions to
best understand who you are, what support you need, and how to strategically meet your goals. My practice is a
highly individualized thought-partnership that meets you where you are and in whatever country you reside.
​
I have over 30 years experience working with early to late-career artists to hone the self-knowledge and practical skills
required for successful completion of your personal goals. At a time when creative practices are merging and evolving and creative thinking is a highly prized attribute in every career sector, I am committed to helping you investigate your ideas,
explore your potential, define your particular niche and realize tangible results.
