coaching

I coach actors, directors, and anyone looking to build their own creative work and practice. I will help you feel excited about your career while honing your individual genius and creative power.

You are powerful, worthy, and ready to create. No more waiting.

Coaching is central to my artistic practice. I have extensive experience with artists of all ages and levels. I focus on connecting you with your innate power physically, vocally, and intellectually. Through our work together, you become more receptive to your given circumstances and able to make stronger choices in each moment.  

I coach and mentor directors, actors, arts admins, producers, writers, and anyone interested in building a creative practice. We will set BIG WORTHY goals and make an actionable road map to help you create sustainable habits to make your dreams come true.

I have many models for coaching, both long term, and short term. I am committed to making coaching financially accessible for you and have many payment plans for my clients.

“I have trained with Katherine for over ten years. My acting and directing practice rely on regular training with Katherine, and I do so every chance I get. Katherine's firm, incisive and encouraging guidance push me to my creative limits while also increasing my confidence.
