HI, it’s Dr. C!

That’s what my students, colleagues, and coaching clients call me.

The heart of my work as a coach is rooted in over twenty years teaching writing and literature in college and university classrooms, working with hundreds of students. Across it all, one theme has continually emerged: The journey to self.

As a coach, my job is to help You on your unique journey to discover and unleash your authentic self—your vision, your passion, your calling.  To help you achieve your goals and realize your dreams. 

Making art of your life, I often call it. 

That’s why I call my practice Do Your Talent Coaching.

Carl Jung said that “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” At the heart of my work as a coach is the belief that everyone is the Hero of their own story, and the vast majority of people simply need "permission" to begin that journey, a defined "goal" to achieve, and a "treasure map" that lays out the steps to realizing that goal.
