Why Coaching?

The work you do in this world shines.

Your life can shine.

But sometimes, we get so focused on a single star that we lose sight of countless constellations.


As creatives, we often:

  • fall into comparison

  • wrestle with imposter syndrome

  • confuse our work for our worth

  • lose focus and momentum

  • struggle with overwhelm

  • question our intuition

  • create in fits and starts

  • pivot mid-flight (I see you, squirrel)

  • trust trends more than our true expression

  • wait for, and even rely on, fleeting sparks of inspiration

I know these patterns because I’ve lived them.

For seventeen years, I’ve been a full-time metalsmith. I’ve taught fabrication and design since 2012, and in nearly every student I’ve had the privilege of supporting, I’ve seen echoes of my own journey: every triumph, every frustration.

How beautiful it is to create meaningful and useful things for a living; but the parallel truth is that the path of the creative is frequently forged of doubt, distraction and internal resistance.

Still, I believe this to my core:

Whether you're an artist, a parent, a ski bum, a corporate professional, a small business hero, or something defiantly in-between, you are an inherently creative being.

You have the right and the power to design your life as if it were your greatest masterpiece.

Because that's exactly what it is.

You're in limited supply, my friend.

You're not a stock model, not a replica, not a paint-by-number.
You're one of a kind.

An original.

And you don’t have to live or create like anyone else.

Yet along the way, we begin to forget that we always have a choice. We lose clarity around what we value. We focus on output without critically considering the input, striving to expand without also digging deep...

Like a young oak without a sufficiently developed root system, we languish and lag, our growth having become unsustainable.

That’s where coaching comes in.

Let's get to know one another.

This is where we begin.

A powerful, thirty-minute Zoom session designed to help us get to know one another and explore what’s possible.

Together, we’ll take a look at where you are now, where you dream of going, and what may be standing in the way. You’ll gain clarity around your vision, your values, and the shape of the life you're leaning toward. Additionally, you’ll receive a brief, focused coaching session that offers a true taste of the work we might do together.

This is not a sales pitch.
It’s a thoughtful, collaborative conversation rich with candid dialogue and rooted in respect for your time and goals.

We’ll discuss:

  • What coaching is... and what it isn’t

  • The areas of life you’d like to explore and evolve

  • Your current challenges, goals, and the vision you’re holding for your future

Please come prepared to be coached.
This isn’t just a talk about coaching- it’s a chance to experience it firsthand.

To make the most of our time together, I kindly ask that you:

  • Join from a quiet place, free from distractions

  • Silence your phone and any notifications

  • Ensure a strong internet connection

  • Arrive on time and open-hearted

If we agree we’re a good fit, I’ll share pricing and structure information, next steps and answer any questions you may have. Further, if I believe another coach might serve you better, I’ll happily offer a recommendation.

This call is an invitation to pause, reflect, and take a courageous first step toward the life you’re meant to build. I look forward to speaking with you.

My coaching lives at the intersection of creativity, business, and personal development.

Our alliance serves to empower the commitments you're making to yourself. Together, we’ll:

  • Strip away the mental blocks

  • Quiet the noise

  • Reconnect you with your unique inner compass

This isn’t about fixing you- because you aren't broken.

It’s about sharpening your awareness, anchoring into your values, making empowered choices, and stepping boldly into what’s next. It's about remembering who you are and how you want to live.

You already possess the ability to be fiercely courageous and authentic. The question is: Are you willing?

Coaching is forward-focused.

At times, the coaching process can be reflective, and therapeutic moments may occur; however, it's important to know that our work is rooted in your future: your vision, your dreams, and your wildest, most honest goals.

What do you really want?

As your coach, I will:

  • hold space for you to be radically creative and brutally honest

  • help you identify your values and strengths

  • ask the hard, heart-centered questions

  • offer tools, frameworks, and resources

  • challenge you to clarify your priorities

  • walk beside you in the hard moments

  • celebrate with you as you grow

You are a whole person.

As your coach, I’m not here to direct or define you.

I'm here to champion you, challenge you, and stand beside you while offering presence, perspective, and partnership as you navigate the many facets of your journey.

Whether you’re exploring something new, nurturing something you wish to grow, or simply listening for what’s next, I’m here to support the clarity you already hold and the wisdom you’re already carrying.

This is your story.
You can make it one you’re proud to tell.
