Express yourself.
I see you, with your important story to tell. Your big idea to manifest. Your major goal to complete.
Let me guess: IT’S SCARY. That’s because it matters to you. Which means whether you stumble or you soar, you grow.
Let me guess: IT’S HARD. So is anything worth doing. That’s how to make things that last.
But the world needs what you have to give. It’s time to dig down deep and let it shine.
I am here to help you get through the tough stuff. To hold space, ask questions, and offer honest feedback. To meet you where you are and take you where you want to go.
Think of me as a bridge between the gaps in your creative process. An objective pair of eyes and ears to see and hear what you cannot. A sounding board for all your artistic ideas.
If you have an upcoming performance, audition, or callback, I can help you show up confidently with a strong point of view. If you are looking to improve your storytelling skills, I can help you develop a sturdy, reliable technique. If you are developing a performance or creative project, I can be a generous and generative collaborator.
And if you are ready to work on the hard, scary part… I got your back.

Thanks for asking! I like to save a tree whenever possible, so you can email or AirDrop the material and I’ll read it off my iPad.
Otherwise, I prefer that physical sheet music be in a binder, double-sided, and either 3-hole punched or in plastic sheet protectors (I like plastic). No loose sheets, please.
Not sure how to lay out your sheet music? Let's talk about it at your coaching!
