“Art is not about thinking something up. It is the opposite -- getting something down.”
― Julia Cameron
Living an artistic life is a gift, but sometimes we can get in a creative slump. I work with artists from all walks of life to jump start this aspect of their lives. Through creativity coaching, goals are pivoted towards what the client needs. This can include being a supportive partner to brainstorm ideas with or bring clarity so you can complete that creative project you have been procrastinating on. We may collaboratively explore ways to re-ignite your drive, passion, and productivity. For others, I may assist in helping them unleash the artist within who has been stuck in a 9-5 job. I particularly work with writers, who have been facing writers’ block, critical self-talk, and procrastination.
