I believe deeply in the power of writing to bring clarity and add meaning to our lives.
Have you ever wanted to tell your life story or parts of it? Wanted to write about your experience in order to make sense of it, or to share it with others? To preserve your story for posterity?
If you are looking for more clarity, fulfillment and direction in your life, I offer my services as a coach for meaning and well-being.
If you have an interest in writing about your experiences, I offer my services as a life story writing coach. I will help you uncover the stories you most want to tell; to help get you rolling with the actual writing; to help you decide how public or private you want to be with your writing; to share what I know about the writing process and the written artifact; and to point you towards other resources as needed.
I have a strong appreciation for life story, having worked as a psychotherapist and marriage and family therapist for over twenty-five years. Before that I was a teacher, and I have taught writing to students of all ages.
I recently completed an MFA in writing at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon. My book of mainly autobiographical poems, I Was Going To Be A Cowgirl, will be published soon and released in November of this year. I am currently revising my own life story memoir.
Most sessions are conducted on the telephone or via Skype, allowing me to provide services to students anywhere in the English-speaking world. (I do speak and write some French and Spanish, but not nearly enough for these purposes!)
Message me here if this sounds interesting to you or might be of interest to someone you know.
