Your steps to transformation


Create a life that embraces your greatness

I coach storytellers to find their real stories, achieve goals, and realize their surprising, true potential.

My job is to help you transform the past, especially childhood trauma that still triggers you today. Connecting with your inner child also reunites you with your original sources of happiness, which are key to unlocking your adult creativity.

With coaching, you’ll start to recognize and shift old patterns. New communication tools will change how you live, love, work and play. When you show up differently, you’ll get different results. And, your transformation will transform your future.

This is a trauma-informed storytelling process that teaches you to listen to your body. You might even want to explore the bigger, intergenerational picture that brings in the ancestors and cultural history.

I’m here to serve with all that I’ve learned in transforming my own trauma. I have decades of experience as a journalist and professor of journalism, creative writing and speech communication. I’m trained in ancient Chinese healing arts. I’m also a professional certified coach (PCC), which is coaching’s gold standard.

For details about my path to sanity, serenity and creativity, here’s more about me. What I know now will save you time, elevate your outcomes and address anxiety. In fact, you’ll probably see results right away.  :)
