SONGWRITING MENTORSHIP
Over the years, I’ve worked with dozens of songwriters to connect with their intuition, drop into their hearts, and create resonant work that is alive, aligned, and inspired.
I come to this place as a writer, deep feeler, and intuitive soul — yet I also bring two decades of experience writing, releasing, and performing my own music; a thorough understanding of harmony and theory (plus vocal expression, strong piano foundation, and self-taught fingerstyle guitar); plus an approach with humor and lightness. :) I’ve faced plenty of so-called “blocks” and challenges throughout my own career, so I have the insight and understanding to support you through yours.
I work with writers at all stages (from emerging to very experienced). Whether you want to focus solely on the writing process and your creative expression or also need guidance around recording and releasing your work, I can offer my insights from staying the course on this path.
I value a writer’s relationship to their heart, body, and voice, and will guide you to lean on your unique personal wisdom, intuition, voice, and vision. I can also guide you on the practical elements—structure, form, creative and emotionally resonant lyric writing, melody, innovation, experimentation, rhythmic elements, and more. I believe songwriting is personal, exciting, sometimes mysterious, and ultimately a path of deep personal growth.
My hope is for you is to create a body of work that you can be proud of, that inspires you and is connected to your voice—whether that’s a few pieces, a complete album, or even more.
I believe the satisfaction that comes from our self-expression is unparalleled, and something we all need more of in our lives. I don’t follow a specific system or playbook so each mentorship will be individually tailored to your goals, dreams, curiosities, sonic interests, and learning style. While I am (of course) an experienced songwriter, I also bring more than a decade of experience in arts education and draw from the framework of Universal Design for Learning. Besides working with many individual students, I have also been welcomed as a guest teacher for the Songwriting Program at the Malmö Academy of Music / Lund University in Sweden.
through this mentorship I also provide emotional support in releasing fears, anxiety, and challenges that may present for you, bringing in a somatic healing element through EFT/Tapping (see bottom of the page for more on that) :)
I’d love to meet you and hear what you’re working on!
I offer 3-Month and 6-Month Mentorships - Details Below

FEEDBACK FROM SONGWRITERS
I felt a tremendous sense of growth as a songwriter. Learning about form and the elements of song helped me gain a sense of awareness about my writing habits and realize ways in which I'd like to try things differently. The most beneficial thing for me was realizing that it doesn't matter what else is going on in my life, if I prioritize my creative expression and designate time in my day for it (in whatever amount) I will always have the ability to produce and improve. I can’t express how helpful this was.

“The most helpful part of the workshop, by far, was your uniquely spiritual approach. I have taken other songwriting and creative workshops that completely eliminated the meditative aspect necessary to relax into your creative zone. I have always had massive anxiety about performing my original songs in front of other people, but your workshop made me feel so comfortable and at peace. It was amazing overall.”
- CARLY
“I was inspired! I wrote a new song "Constellations" and got some really great skills using EFT/Tapping for unlocking creativity.”

MORE ON EFT/TAPPING
EFT/Tapping is a gentle way to regulate the nervous system by stimulating the meridian system and verbally processing whatever is present for you. Among many benefits, it can help build new neural pathways, open up creative processing, and release stored trauma in the body. These somatic sessions are to help soothe and release creative, emotional, or personal challenges that may be arising during the process or in your life in general — I see it as an important support to you during your writing process that will help you ground during any challenging, confronting, or perplexing moments. I have certified training in Level 1/2, and Advanced.
After payment, I’ll send you a calendar to schedule our first month of sessions.
For payment plans, please just let me know and we’ll set one up. :)
Always looking forward to hearing from you
