creative support

No matter where you are in your creative business, eventually you get stuck, frustrated, and unable to move forward the way your work wants you to. So, what’s holding you back?

Most of the help you’ve probably found in the past has been of the conscious sort – setting goals, working with affirmations, developing concepts, creating schedules, seeking accountability. I certainly offer all of that to my clients. But there’s a reason that hasn’t totally worked:

According to cognitive neuroscientists, roughly 95% of our behavior and decisions are controlled by our unconscious mind.

The work you are meant to do already exists, fully formed, in your unconscious mind. So do the barriers and obstacles you must overcome to embrace it. When you access your unconscious mind, you break free of resistance and doubt, and discover a treasury of inspiration, imagery, emotion, and power. In our sessions, we’ll tap into those hidden creative forces through dreamwork, visualization, narrative and other techniques, creating a deep connection to a practice that feeds your soul.

creativity coaching

Creativity coaching is a series of powerful conversations addressing the emotional, practical, and existential challenges of the artist’s life. My role is to support your growth by asking illuminating questions, actively listening and reflecting back what I hear, suggesting unseen connections, holding space for uncertainty, and offering focus and encouragement. The answers you are seeking are already within you, within your unconscious mind, and so as you feel comfortable, we will work with dreams, synchronicities, active imagination, narrative, and other techniques to access deeper intuition.

 

book coaching

Writing a book is a long commitment that benefits from regular support and accountability. We will work together on overcoming resistance, accessing your creative mind, and understanding your own artist archetype. Coaching is not a form of critique – you don’t even have to share your writing with me – my goal is to support you in doing the work and owning your creativity.

 

the conversation

It doesn’t have to be complicated. If you’re stuck, let’s grab a coffee and chat about it. Use this single session however you want - to brainstorm or talk through a new idea, to get re-energized about a flagging project, to move through an obstacle or find a new path forward. This is a great jumping off point for the next big thing.
