How I can help you embody your most creative self

No matter where you are in your creative journey, I would be honored walk beside you!

  • I have taken coursework in grammar and editing at UC Berkeley, and am currently completing a post-baccalaureate Certificate in Editing and Publishing from UCLA. I have years of experience in everything from proofreading and copyediting to substantive developmental editing.

  • My 20+ year professional career has focused on copywriting, ghost writing, social media copy and strategy, marketing, and branding. I focus exclusively on writers and ethical companies.

  • Through the use of writing exercises and guided meditation coupled with tactical emotional and creative coaching, I can help guide you through toughest emotional blocks so that you can create beautiful writing. I am not a licensed therapist, though I find that folks who have done at least some therapeutic work are usually able to enhance and accelerate their own personal growth and creative development during our time together.

  • I believe that storytelling has the power to elucidate our unique experiences as human beings. As such, I do not believe in the use of AI for creative writing or editing purposes. I do not edit AI-derived work, nor do I use AI in my editorial toolkit. I encourage you to stretch your creativity and allow it a chance to thrive without AI tools that are often factually incorrect and always, quite literally, derivative.
