expressive arts coaching
unlock your creative potential
Do you feel a pull to do something different but you are not sure what it is? Do you have a dream you let lay dormant for a long while? Have you felt fear, stuck, stagnant, or unsure how to move forward with something meaningful? Maybe you’ve started a creative project but did not yet finish it, or you’re searching for clarity about your next steps. Expressive Arts Coaching offers a way to connect with your inner resources to create new possibility, move towards and manifest your desired goal.
Through thought-provoking questions, unconditional positive regard, and simple art-making, returning to our original ways of drawing, journaling, coloring — no artistic skill required. I create a safe and supportive space for your unique answers to surface. I reflect back to you as a benevolent mirror. You are the expert on your life. My role is to be your collaborator, thinking partner, and supporter, cheerleader as you clarify your goals and take the steps to achieve them.
what is expressive arts coaching?
According to the International Coaching Federation (ICF), coaching is a thought-provoking, creative partnership that inspires clients to maximize their personal and professional potential. Unlike therapy, which often focuses on healing the past, or mentoring, which provides expert advice, coaching is present- and future-oriented. It helps you clarify what you want, break it into actionable steps, and stay accountable—while honoring that you already hold the answers within yourself.
I work with the Flow Method, developed by Talyaa Varder at The Flow Coaching Institute in Canada. This elegant five-step model draws on best coaching practices and the flow psychology of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, who studied artists, athletes, and high achievers in states of peak performance. The Flow Method guides us through:
1. Awareness – clarifying what you want to achieve
2. Motivation – exploring why your goal matters deeply to you
3. Action – creating your unique steps forward
4. Arrival – defining how you’ll know you’ve succeeded
5. Focus – sustaining momentum with presence and joy
Sessions may include a combination of expressive arts techniques (drawing, writing, improvisation), a short meditation, simple drama therapy exercises, and Eckhart Tolle’s principles of conscious manifestation. At the heart of it all is deep, present listening — and creating silences with spaciousness when needed — so you can hear yourself and your own insights can emerge.

my philosophy and approach
I believe our soul essence — our inner awareness, our consciousness, presence, a beautiful, alive, stillness within — is always accessible beneath the busy mind. When we purposefully return to our breath, our inner body, we reconnect with that essence. From there, a fresh clarity, and inspired action arise naturally.
My work is shaped by my background as a an actress where I learned to ask myself questions about the character being worked on with no judgement. When I did not judge, I was able to understand the life and actions of that human being. As a registered drama therapist with an emphasis in narrative (how we story our lives), my lifelong meditation journey, and my study of The Work of Byron Katie, Eckhart Tolle and Krishnamurti. Questioning has always been central for me: whether in acting, coaching an actor, in meditation, or self-inquiry, asking the right questions opens new doors of understanding. Coaching draws on that same practice of inquiry, helping you uncover your own fresh answers in the moment.
I know deeply both the pain of stagnation and the joy of breaking through. Again and again, I’ve surprised myself many times by accomplishing new goals and rescuing old ones that held unique and great personal meaning for me that aligned with my deepest values and opened new paths forward. I would be honored to support you in doing the same.
