As a trained executive function and academic writing coach, I specialize in helping clients overcome challenges with time management, procrastination, and writing avoidance. My practice focuses on college and graduate students, as well as early and mid-career academics who are navigating the complexities of ADHD, anxiety, and perfectionism.

​

I have particular expertise in coaching doctoral students through the dissertation process in the social sciences, providing targeted support for both planning and editing their research projects. My approach helps clients develop sustainable systems and strategies that transform overwhelming academic tasks into manageable, achievable goals. I also work with high school students to transform the stress of college essay writing into a manageable process, guiding them from initial brainstorming through final drafts to create compelling personal statements that truly represent who they are.

​

I have over ten years of experience as an academic writing instructor and coach. After obtaining my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Connecticut College, I earned my Master’s and Doctoral degrees at the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE). During my time at HGSE, I served as an editor of the Harvard Educational Review and worked on the staff of HGSE’s Academic Writing Center. I was the Departmental Writing Fellow for the Harvard College Department of Psychology, where I also taught research-intensive courses in psychology and advised seniors writing honors' theses. My love of innovative learning strategies led me to create classroom resources for activity-based learning as a Curriculum Fellow at Harvard's Bok Center for Teaching and Learning. I have taught undergraduate and graduate level courses in psychology, writing, education, and language development at Harvard College, HGSE, Emerson College, and the Harvard Extension School. For five (very fun) years, I taught the popular course "The Psychology of Success and Failure" as full-time faculty in the Harvard Writing program. Most recently, I taught the writing-intensive, yearlong Master’s level capstone sequence in the Harvard Extension School’s department of Psychology. I am a multiple-time recipient of Harvard's awards for Teaching Excellence.

I am passionate about helping writers get unstuck and move past blocks.

Wherever you are, now is the right time to begin.
