About Me
Guidance Counselor for GrownupsHelping you connect the dots on your life & career
Hi, I’m Kate!
I’m a guidance counselor for grownups.
So…what does that mean for you?
My Story
So here’s the thing – it’s not about me.
You’re here because there’s something bothering you. You’re overwhelmed, maybe even burned out. You’re looking to make a career transition, whether that’s to a new company, a new industry, or a whole new role. You’re thinking about starting a side hustle, making the leap to freelance, or going full entrepreneur mode.
But you’ve realized you can’t do it alone. You need to call in reinforcements.
And you need to be confident you’re choosing the right person to help you. There’s a zillion people out there who’ve taken an online course (if that) and call themselves a “coach.” You want to know you aren’t signing up for a cut-and-pasted 3-step “success roadmap” complete with Law of Attraction worksheets.
Awesome.
Because I’m not about that. I’m a trained psychologist putting research-backed, evidence-based techniques to work helping you overcome your challenges and connect the dots on your work and life to craft the most satisfying existence you can.
Look, I’ve been there. I spent more than a decade in the trenches, working in huge corporations, minuscule startups, and everything in between. Then I went rogue: I started a side business, then another, then another, went fully freelance, started consulting, sold a couple businesses, started some new ones, and eventually went back to school for a series of graduate degrees in psychology, focusing on work, well-being, and entrepreneurship.
Now, as a guidance counselor for grownups, I help folks with nontraditional career paths make the most of their skills and interests.
If that sounds awesome, drop me a line – we’ll schedule your free 1:1 and see if we’re a good fit to work together!

My Approach
I use proven techniques from applied psychology to help you take a step back, assess where you are on a macro level, and then zoom in on the areas that will help you make the biggest difference in your life and career.
We’ll look at the big picture, not just your career – because let’s face it, these days, there’s not a whole lot of boundary between your life, your work, and everything else.
Then we’ll develop specific, actionable strategies to address your biggest concerns, get you unstuck, and feeling confident to chart your own path forward.
I’m not a therapist! I don’t treat clinical conditions – but if you need help with a bigger issue, I can help you find it. Same goes for other areas you might need help with – whether it’s depression and anxiety, skill development, networking, or something else, I’ll help refer you to the right person to get the right results.
