I’ve spent the last decade helping people shape ideas into meaningful, finished work. Work that is integrated, tells the truth, and actually moves something forward.
Long before I called myself an author or book coach, my work lived at the intersection of writing, editing, strategy, and messaging. I partnered with leaders, creators, and organizations during seasons of growth, transition, and reinvention, helping them clarify what they were building, why it mattered, and how to bring it into the world with intention.
Over the years, that work has taken many forms.
I’ve written books, edited and shaped manuscripts, coached authors, ghostwritten projects, guided entrepreneurs through refining their message, and helped organizations articulate who they are and what they stand for. I’ve overseen marketing and communications, managed content and storytelling initiatives, built leadership programs for women, and supported clients through rebrands, launches, pivots, and book-writing journeys.
I’ve worked with executives, small business owners, speakers, nonprofit leaders, community builders, creatives, and first-time writers across spaces, including local government, chambers of commerce, publishing projects, creative studios, and women’s leadership circles.
I’ve shaped strategic plans, overhauled websites, directed campaigns, led teams, managed major events, and built programs from the ground up.
And through all of it, one thing has remained consistent:
I’ve always been the person people come to when they’re stuck, when they have too many ideas, too much information, or too many opinions around them, and need help figuring out what actually matters and how to say it clearly.
That through-line is what guides the work I do now.
Today, I work with authors, leaders, and mission-driven women who are ready to stop circling and start building. Whether that means shaping a book from idea to manuscript, clarifying a message, or creating the structure that supports the next season of their work, my approach blends story, strategy, and thoughtful partnership.
I don’t just edit. I don’t just advise. I don’t just strategize.
I help bring ideas out of the abstract and into form. Chapters, structure, language, and plans that feel aligned and finished.
When I’m not writing or working with clients, I’m in Arizona, grounded by desert mornings, deep conversation, strong coffee, a good glass of wine, and time with family, friends, and my poodles. I’m drawn to work that changes people from the inside out, quietly but lastingly.
My nonfiction books, Disrupt Your Default and Write That Book Already, are part of that work. They help women name what matters, release what no longer fits, and begin building what’s next with clarity and courage. The fiction I’m writing explores story from another angle, where imagination, truth, and craft meet.
If you feel a book, a message, or a body of work asking for your attention, and you’re not sure where to begin, you’re welcome here.

How I Work
I don’t believe in rushing ideas, forcing timelines, or separating creative work from strategic thinking. The way I work is intentional, collaborative, and grounded in listening. First to you, then to the work itself.
Most people come to me when something feels unfinished or unclear. It might be a book that’s been living in their mind for years. It might be a business or body of work that’s grown, but no longer feels coherent. It might be a message they know matters, but haven’t been able to articulate in a way that truly fits.
My role is to help you slow the work down just enough to see it clearly, then build it with structure, honesty, and care.
While books are often the most visible outcome of my work, they are rarely the only one. What I help shape is the entire ecosystem around an idea, the message, the structure, the voice, and the way it lives in the world. Sometimes that becomes a book. Sometimes it becomes a website, a body of content, a strategic plan, or a clearer way of communicating what already exists.
The form varies, but the work does not.
I ask thoughtful questions. I look for patterns, gaps, and through-lines. I help you make decisions that serve what you’re building, not trends, not pressure, not fragmented ideas. The process is flexible, but never vague. It’s designed to support both clarity and follow-through. This is not a one-size-fits-all approach. I work best with thoughtful, capable women who are ready to engage deeply with their work and make decisions that support the next season of their life or business.
What you can expect is clarity, direction, and momentum without losing your voice or rushing the process.
We build what’s true to who you are, and we build it well.
