Hi, I’m Erin.
I was diagnosed with ADHD and PTSD in my early 40s, and have been helping writers diagnosed with ADHD since I began working as a book coach in 2020. I am intimately familiar with the shame cycle and self-sabotage patterns unique to these diagnoses, and how they interfere with the creative process — producing what I call creative despair.
As a survivor of abuse, I also have hard-earned knowledge of imbalanced power dynamics and a deep commitment to upending them at every level — especially in the world of publishing.
I’m a writer, editor, book coach, single parent, and only slightly less awkward and weird now than the kid I used to be, who started making books at age 4 and felt like LeVar Burton on Reading Rainbow was her first real friend.
In my work with writers, I create tools and strategies, unique to each individual, that interrupt shame cycles and self-sabotage, helping writers overcome creative despair so they can finish and publish their work.
I became a certified book coach through Author Accelerator in 2020. In addition to this certification, I bring a master’s degree in education, a lifetime love of books, and over 20 years of experience as a writer, teacher, and mentor to my coaching practice.
