Your creativity is for the world.
But also? It’s for you.
Hi, I’m Sarah! I help sensitive humans build nourishing creative practices:
Pursue your goals
Bring your ideas to fruition
Develop your (writerly) voice
&
Reclaim self-trust
Hone your creative attention
Discover the healing power of words
Because we—neurodivergent humans, purpose-driven artists, & sensitive weirdos—care about what happens on and off the page.
We need the earth-bound stuff, and the spiritual-emotional stuff, too.
Which means we’ve got to steward both.
“Working with Sarah is like inviting your Creativity to a loving family therapy session.
I believe asking the right question at the right time is an art form, and Sarah is a goddamn wizard at it.”
~Kat HoSoo Lee,
Spiritual Business Mentor
Let’s step forward together…
One-on-one Creative Mentorship is a tender, personalized experience, where you and I work together for a set number of months as you strengthen your creative practices, move through blocks, and deepen your capacity for self-trust and momentum.
Because of the intimate nature of mentorship, I offer free consultations prior to any commitment.

The Gift & Failure of Words
“Good writing changes you; shares its life with you; imprints itself on your brain & heart; keeps unfolding long after you’ve consumed it.”

On Imagination & Magic
“The minute we’re dealing with images, ideas, concepts, or creative notions, we’re in the world of making stuff up, of utilizing metaphor to articulate truth.”

When you stop caring about being a *good* writer
And then everything opens up.
A little more about your enthusiastic guide…
My own creative practices are influenced by many things, including a lifelong devotion to the page; my neurodivergent brain (I’m a late-dx Autistic human); an M.A. in Poetics, Creative Writing, & Gender Studies; and my love for the more-than-human world.
I also spent about 8 years in the social services + housing advocacy fields. When I describe myself as trauma-informed, I mean it: I hold space for the full context of you, and the many things that influence your creativity (i.e. nearly everything).
