Work with Erica 1:1
Professional Development and Creative Momentum
One-on-one mentoring for professionals and creatives at different stages of their work.
If you’re navigating change, trying to complete a project, or holding too many ideas at once, these programs offer a grounded journey with an experienced guide who understands traversing change in both the creative and professional terrain.
This work draws from Erica’s Sense of Place Story Framework — a practice-informed approach developed through decades of professional experience helping people clarify direction, shape meaningful work, and follow ideas through to completion in ways that are deeply aligned with how they work best.
Some people work 1:1 when they are seeking orientation and clarity. Others are ready for deeper, sustained work: refining a body of work, completing a project, or developing their practice with intention and structured, supportive momentum.
Choose from a 90-minute kickstart, a monthly support program, or a full-day deep dive.

This work is especially helpful if you're:
Trying to follow something through to completion — a book, program, project, or creative work
Holding too many ideas, drafts, or directions at once, and needing help organizing what matters most with external support
Feeling overwhelmed, stalled, or unsure how to proceed — weighing options or navigating transition
Wanting support while shaping work that's both thoughtful and professional — with someone who understands the creative and professional dimensions
One-on-one work offers a different journey than a group program.
You’ll get:
Insightful feedback that is personalized and specific, not generalized information you won’t use.
A customized plan for getting going and staying on track
An accountability style matched to your needs and schedule
An invested guide who shines a light ahead on the path, so you can better see your way.
My Approach
My approach is grounded in decades of experience crafting and delivering work that is both creative and professional, and helping others bring their ideas and projects to life.
My role as your mentor is to:
Clarify what matters most — so you can focus your energy where it counts
Identify what's in the way — and help you navigate around or through it
Map a realistic route — help get you from where you are now to where you want to go

“Of all the coaches, therapists, or guides I’ve worked with, no one has ever given me such a clear, practical summary of my strengths and next steps. Erica listens deeply and reflects with clarity and care. The Mini-Compass Map is unlike anything I’ve experienced. If there was one word to describe it, it would be AWESOME!”
— Janice Kelly- Author, Naturalist, Interpreter

“I am stunned at the synchronicities that have happened since receiving Erica’s support. Before our session, I had multiple directions and choices to make. The Mini-Compass helped me focus my energy where I feel most alive, identify simple steps forward, and recognize what I was ready to release. The ripple effects have been profound.” — K.L.

“Working one-to-one with Erica has taken my work to another level. Through her classes, I discovered myself as a writer. Through our VIP sessions, I have been able to take years of writing and shape it into a cohesive collection. Since starting with her, I have shared my work at literary festivals and been in several publications. Without her, I would still be circling. The clarity and momentum from our time together shifted everything.”
— Julia Clebsch, Retired NPS Ranger, Writer, Naturalist
3. VIP Intensive
A full-day deep dive to organize and move a project forward
The VIP Intensive is an immersive, full-day session designed to help you take stock of where your work stands and make meaningful progress right away.
Together, we assess what’s complete, what needs attention, and what comes next. We clarify the big picture, map a realistic route forward, and work directly on a key segment, so progress is already underway.
This is a powerful way to begin 1:1 work—or to deepen it—when you’re ready for focused time, clear direction, and tangible movement.
Available online or in person. In-person sessions may take place at your location or at mine in western Massachusetts, and include lunch, healthy snacks, and integrative breaks.
Investment: $1,150 | 6-hour deep dive

“Having Erica as my grad school mentor provided a welcoming and powerful space to put words to my values and vision as an artist. We defined the themes I’m exploring, integrated creative practices into daily life, and began a project rooted in that clarity. Erica listens for the spirit of a work in a way that is rare, and she brings a deep well of knowledge I soaked up like a sponge.”
— Kelly, MFA Student, (California Institute of Integral Studies), Somatic Therapist
