Creative Coaching & Mentorship
I’m a believer in the healing capacity and necessity of creative expression.
My goal as a coach and mentor is to help artists and creatives build a sustainable creative practice, rooted in confidence, passion, and purpose.
Because longevity in art is not accidental — it is built.
I work with artists and creative entrepreneurs to navigate the challenges that arise at every stage of the creative process—from conceptual uncertainty to mindset blocks, from daily practice to long-term sustainability.
The work of an artist extends far beyond producing ideas. It requires resilience in the face of doubt, structure amid chaos, and the confidence to continue when motivation wavers.
Creative work is often disrupted not by lack of talent, but by internal friction and external disorganization. From unfinished projects to scattered ideas, from self-doubt to burnout, these patterns can quietly erode momentum over time.
Common challenges I help address include:
Procrastination
Low or inconsistent motivation
Difficulty accessing inspiration
Confidence and self-worth struggles
Overwhelm
Organizational and structural gaps
The goal is not just inspiration, but a sustainable creative practice built on clarity, structure, and self-trust.

WHY work with ME?
Because I understand creative work from the inside.
I have spent over 15 years as a working fine art photographer, with exhibitions, publications, and features that reflect not just talent, but sustained practice. I know what it means to build a body of work over time, to face doubt, to finish projects, and to keep going when motivation fluctuates.
My coaching is grounded in both experience and formal training.
Although coaching is an unregulated field, I earned certification through an ICF-approved institution. That training ensures our work together is structured, ethical, and rooted in proven methodology.
In addition to photography, I am a trained fiction and narrative writer, and I spent years immersed in dance, acting, and singing. This multidisciplinary foundation helps me understand creatives from various backgrounds and allows me to dive deeper into the narrative you hold about yourself as an artist.
For the past 4 years, I have coached artists, creative professionals, and individuals navigating midlife transitions. I understand the unique tension between ambition and responsibility, inspiration and structure, vision and reality.
And perhaps most importantly…
Every modality, exercise, and practice I offer is one I actively use in my own life and creative work.
WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING
“I came into the session with Anna feeling uninspired and honestly burnt the hell out! I was looking for some direction with my business and life and needed that creative spark. Anna got right into it with me asking great questions and getting down to the roots of my feelings and actions. By the end I had admitted all the things I was trying to distract myself from. Together we came up with a plan for how to slowly improve things, such as making the most of my environment and mediating routinely. Anna was excellent, professional, empathetic, and an overall great coach and human. I look forward to continuing to integrate what we talked about and I know she is there to support me!!”
— Emma Tillett
“Anna you have helped me so much. I had an awesome time talking with you, so easy to do. I felt heard, understood, not judged, respected & secure. I learned a lot on how to work with myself and my own power within, guided through by you. Thank you so much!”
— Dastyn Loyd
“My session with Anna left me feeling seen as a creative and human being. She is capable of honoring the desire to work hard that lies within us all without humoring the distorted self-image we see. Simply put: Anna treats creatives with both compassion and objectivity, allowing for some self-love and a better perspective on the way forward.”
— Maxwell Feinstein
“Working with Anna was truly delightful and I look forward to doing so again in the future. Anna made me feel comfortable showing up raw and authentic. She held space for all of my complex feelings, and was a catalyst for my overcoming some deep seated fears, and bringing out my own inner truths. Life coaching with Anna was a powerful and illuminating experience that I am truly grateful for.”
— Jen D.
“Thank you so much for the opportunity to work with you. I never had a life coach, and honestly didn't really know why people needed them or what they did. Why not go see a therapist, was my reasoning up till now. It wasn't until I decided to take the leap and embark on a new project that I found myself overwhelmed with not only with the project, but how it would fit into my life.
Anna, in such a short time, you had a way of seeing through the surface issues that I thought were my main problems and asked the hard questions that I knew I needed to be asking myself, but couldn't get through the noise to find the question. The exercises you gave me have helped me mentally, spiritually, and physically to where I feel more confident in my own skin, and the direction I want my life to go. Thank you for calming my mental storm, you are truly amazing.”
