Creativity Coaching

for Writers & Artists

Open Your Wild & Creative Heart

My creative name is Vee.

I connect with your calm and courageous self to overcome obstacles, and bring more joy and visibility to your creative life.

Do you want to:

  • Move from being blocked to maintaining steady momentum?
  • Transform fears into self compassion and confidence?
  • Courageously sell, publish or show your work?
  • Create for spiritual growth and healing?

Reading poetry at. Ric's Open Mic

I bring you:

  • Coaching experience: I have a proven track record of coaching individuals to build meaningful, prosperous careers in the creative services industry.
  • Expert coaching knowledge: I use counseling and coaching approaches and tools, honed through a Master's in Counseling from the University of Oregon.
  • Understanding how to address doubts and fears: I use the tools of Internal Family Systems (IFS) to understand and resolve the parts of you that impede your creativity.
  • Walking the walk: I am a multi-media artist, participating in Astoria Visual Arts and sell art cards at Cambium Gallery. As a writer, I participate in Astoria’s Indescribable Scribes, Ric’s Open Mic and Women Who Write to Heal, as well as publishing poetry in literary journals.

How it works:

  • The Outside Job: First, we define your goals to create a personalized plan and schedule that fits your life.  We'll set concrete, achievable goals like "paint five portraits" or "submit to three journals," We’ll break them down into small, manageable steps. I'll be your partner in accountability, so you’ll stay on track.
  • The Inside Job:We’ll tap into your compassion and curiosity to explore what motivates you to create. Using the tools of Internal Family Systems, I’ll guide you to understand what blocks your progress — like your Inner Perfectionist or Procrastinator. You can gently invite them to step aside so your creativity can thrive.
  • Individual Coaching. We’ll balance meeting weekly in person (if you are in Astoria) zoom sessions, emails and text to meet your needs. Sliding Scale: $150 - $225 per month
  • Momentum For Creativity Group (hybrid) A powerful balance of small group and individual sessions. $100 per month.  $75 for members of Astoria Visual Arts (AVA) or Writer’s Guild
