About Me:
I'm an EFT coach who works with women who want to know what it’s like to age well, live fully and stop flinching in the face of their own goals and dreams. I help people find their voice and their footing so they can say their needs and desires out loud and start moving towards them. I support them in identifying the wisdom of their experience and their own bodies, and accessing a power not allotted to their younger selves. I’m a writer and printmaker who has spent decades paying attention to how humans find resilience in the face of loss, stress, and uncertainty. Creativity has been one of my primary ways of reorienting when things feel disorienting or overwhelming.
Current Offering–EFT Coaching:
What is EFT? EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a therapeutic technique that combines tapping on acupressure points to regulate the nervous system while engaging in constructive dialogue with a practitioner. By pairing a somatic, body-based intervention with guided cognitive reframing, EFT helps reduce emotional intensity and shift stuck patterns — and can be adapted for self-use between sessions.
The Research: Clinical EFT has been validated as an evidence-based practice by the American Psychological Association's Division 12 Task Force on Empirically Validated Therapies. There are now more than 200 published clinical trials on EFT, with research finding it effective for psychological conditions such as anxiety, depression, phobias, and PTSD, as well as physiological issues including pain, insomnia, and autoimmune conditions. EFT appears to work by regulating the autonomic nervous system, which governs involuntary functions like heart rate and breathing. It has also been shown to lower cortisol — the body's primary stress hormone — significantly more than other interventions tested.
The Offering: I currently offer a limited number of 1-on-1 virtual EFT coaching sessions by appointment. Sessions are structured and focused, but never rigid — we follow what's alive for you. You might bring an unfulfilled vision, a fledgling idea, a deeply held desire that hasn't seen the light of day yet, or simply a sense that there's more available to you than you've been able to access. We work with whatever is keeping you from it, and you leave with tools you can use on your own between sessions.
The Fine Arts of Living and Dying: My EFT coaching grows out of a larger project I call the fine arts of living and dying — a framework for helping women in the second half of life engage with aging, reinvention, and mortality not as things to manage or avoid, but as territory worth knowing. Because the women who navigate that terrain most fully aren't the ones who “have it all under control” — they're the ones who stopped flinching long enough to embrace their own power, their own joy, and the messy glory of living life fully and on their own terms.

EFT coaching is not psychotherapy and does not constitute a therapeutic relationship.
My own work as a writer and printmaker is part of the same practice — the joy of making something, finding your voice, and discovering what you actually think and feel in the process. It's how I know this territory from the inside, and it's part of what I help women access for themselves. Take a look around, and when you're ready, reach out.
