Nice to meet you

Hi, I'm Kathy. If you've been holding everything together on the outside while feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck on the inside, you're not alone. I work with adults navigating demanding careers, family responsibilities, cultural expectations, and major life transitions. I also have specialized training in supporting high-functioning autistic adults, including those who are undiagnosed or questioning whether autism may be part of their experience, and I enjoy working with college and graduate students. My style is straightforward and collaborative. I'll meet you with empathy while also gently challenging unhelpful patterns so you can better understand yourself and create meaningful, lasting change.
