Work with Erica 1:1
Professional Development and Creative Momentum
Guidance for meaningful, creative, and professional work ready to take shape.
I work with writers, creatives, professionals, interpreters, facilitators, and people with meaningful work or ideas they want to bring to life with greater clarity and coherence.
Some people arrive with drafts, notes, essays, presentations, programs, or creative projects already underway. Others come with fragments, questions, or a growing sense that something important is asking for attention.
Together, we look at what is here, what matters most, what feels stuck, and what wants to move.
This work matters because sometimes you don’t need another course or framework. What is needed is insight from a trusted guide who can reflect what they hear, help you recognize what is calling for your attention, and create a grounded map for what comes next.
My approach blends deep listening, practical structure, and thoughtful guidance. I bring decades of experience in the creative arts and the creative process and an understanding of what it takes to navigate professional changes and pivots with intention.
This is not a generic formula, but a responsive process that helps you create something that truly matches who you are, where you want to go, and how you want to get there.
Ways to Work Together:
The Clarity Compass and The Roadmap
Even highly experienced writers, educators, facilitators, and creative professionals reach moments where another perspective can help. Not because of a lack of skill, but because meaningful work is often difficult to see fully when you’re inside it. These 1:1 sessions can provide that kind of support for you.
Clarity Compass | Get Clear| 90 minutes
If you’re at a stuck point in your work, direction, creative life, or next steps, and need focused guidance to get oriented again, choose this session for orientation, discernment, and clear next steps.
The Roadmap Process
Roadmap VIP Intensive | Get Oriented | 6 hours
If you need to step back, see the full landscape of your ideas or project, understand what you have, and create a clear plan for what comes next, choose this session for a clear roadmap of your themes or body of work and your project direction.

If you are ready to hit the road and are seeking structure, feedback, accountability, and momentum, choose this session for monthly support.
Not sure where to start?
Book a Discovery Call. The best first step is often a short conversation. This is a no-cost, no-pressure 25-minute conversation where I can learn more about where you are in your process. We can look at what you have on your plate in your life or work, and what support or structure could help you most. Even if we don’t work together right now, just this call can often bring insight and clarity to get you started.

“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 Clarity 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.
The Clarity Compass
A focused 90-minute session for crossroads, stuck points, decisions, transitions, or next steps.
This work is designed for moments when something feels unclear, overwhelming, blocked, or difficult to see from inside the experience.
Through four-pointed questions and deep listening, Erica helps uncover the deeper story beneath the situation — listening for patterns, pressure points, hidden structure, and missing pieces that may be difficult to recognize on your own.
She then names and reflects what she hears with clarity, care, and precision.
You leave with:
language for what you’re navigating
a clearer understanding of what matters now
grounded next steps
a personalized Mini-Compass Map
This session can stand alone or serve as a starting point for deeper work together.
90 minutes | Zoom | $250
Includes:
* pre-session reflection
* 90-minute Zoom session
* written summary
* Mini-Compass Map

Roadmap VIP Intensive
6 hours| Zoom or in-person| $1,250
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
and see the larger arc of your work
✓ identify the strongest themes and through-lines
to 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, at your location or at my office in western Massachusetts.

“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

“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
