Work with Erica 1:1
Professional Development and Creative Momentum
Get Unstuck. Find Clarity. Get Reoriented. Gain Momentum.
These sessions are for writers, creatives, academics, professionals, and others who are looking to bring their meaningful work into the world.
If you're working to complete a project, or need a meaningful kickstart, or want to hone in on the work you want to do now, these sessions can provide support and accountability to:
Complete a project or work towards a clear finish line
Organize multiple ideas, fragments, and directions
Rethink the structure of your writings
Gain clarity and map your next action steps
In these one-on-one sessions, I help people to help see more clearly where they are, then make a workable plan to get where they want to go.
This is not a step-by-step generic program. It is designed to be responsive to your needs and your life right now, and provide a structured sequence of support crafted to help you move ahead with whatever you are creating.
Start Where You Are
Some people come with writings or ideas. They might have a clear project in mind, such as an essay, memoir, academic project, collection, body of work, or professional presentation.
Others come with notes, fragments, ideas, or a sense that something is ready to emerge.
Others arrive with a feeling that their life isn’t fully aligned with what truly matters right now, and deserves more time and attention.

“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.
Roadmap VIP Intensive: Full Day
A focused kick-start to organize your ideas, clarify direction, and leave with a master plan.
In one immersive day, we map the full landscape of your material, ideas, writing, or project. We identify the strongest threads, clarify what matters most, and shape a clear plan for what comes next.
From there, you’ll get more than “next steps.” You’ll get a real working plan.
This can be especially powerful when you have pieces of something meaningful, but need help seeing the whole: what stage it’s in, what structure it needs, what themes are emerging, and how to move it forward with clarity and momentum.
This can support you to:
✓ organize drafts, fragments, notes, or ideas
✓ see the larger arc of your work
✓ identify the strongest themes and through-lines
✓ clarify structure, direction, and next priorities
✓ create conditions that help the work come to life
✓ leave with a master plan for what comes next
Includes:
✓ Pre-session intake
✓ Focused full-day intensive
✓ Mapping of your material, ideas, or project
✓ Clear next-stage plan
Available online or in person in western Massachusetts, or at your location. Nourishing breaks, food, and integration time included for in-person sessions.

“Through our VIP session and the Roadmap, 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
The Roadmap Momentum
This is ongoing 1:1 support for people who want to get traction on a project, body of work, or meaningful direction—and keep moving with focus, feedback, accountability, and guidance.
Together, we work with your writing, ideas, process, and pace. We clarify what matters, refine what’s emerging, and create the support conditions that help your work keep moving.
This is where ideas become drafts, fragments become structure, projects gain momentum, and meaningful work begins to take fuller form.
This can support you to:
✓ develop a writing project, essay, memoir, collection, presentation, or body of work
✓ move from scattered ideas into clear structure
✓ receive thoughtful feedback and experienced guidance
✓ stay connected to your creative process
✓ strengthen your voice and direction
✓ build momentum without forcing the work
Includes:
✓ In-depth kick-off session and pre-session intake
✓ Twice-monthly sessions for review, refinement, and clarity
✓ Clear next steps after each session
✓ Steady accountability aligned with your pace

“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
How the Roadmap Unfolds
1. We begin with an assessment conversation to see where you are now and what the road ahead can look like.
2. We look at your work in depth You bring your drafts, fragments, essays, notes — whatever exists. You may come with a clear outcome in mind, or your goal may be understanding your process more deeply.
We lay everything out and then review what stage the work is in, what feels strong, and where momentum has stalled. We’ll note what themes keep returning and what larger arc may be forming beneath it all.
I’ll listen for structure, coherence, and narrative integrity and help you identify the thematic arc beneath your material to shape your ideas further.
3. We’ll also look at your process. We’ll discuss what’s working well in your habits, structure, and environment, and what blocks you and gets in your way. We’ll determine what kind of support works well for keeping you growing and on track.
4.We’ll design a 90-day plan to keep your writing on track on your own or in the Roadmap Momentum Program.
Begin With a Discovery Call
We start with a relaxed, no-pressure 20-minute call. No obligation. Just clarity on your project, your process, and your next steps.
We’ll talk about where you are with your writing, what you’re hoping for, and whether working together now — or down the road — feels right.
“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
