My Mentoring

Whether you are writing an academic article for a peer-reviewed journal or a creative nonfiction book, writers at every level benefit from guidance to refine their work.

My approach starts by developing an attuned, authentic relationship with you and your text. I offer a unique interpersonal, ‘relational’, embodied learning style to help you listen to your inner bodily wisdom. When you write from your body—your lived and felt emotional and physical experiences—you notice where and how your words arrive and how they want to be expressed.

We all benefit by having someone to walk alongside us as we cross a blank page, to help us listen to the voices deep within. I offer an ear to listen and a clear path forward.

When we write together, we focus on the issues that are most important to you—your needs are the center of our work. Step-by-step, we plan achievable writing outcomes. First and foremost, I focus on your strengths. Then I offer suggestions to explore your story as it develops and encouragement to engage in your writing process. You will also have access to skills and practical resources to help you excel as a writer and elevate your text to its rightful place in the current literature.
