Hi! I'm Kate (she/her)! I'm a therapist, author, and coach!

​

I have been a therapist for several years now, specializing in domestic violence, ADHD and Autism, and working with LGBTQIA+ people. I chose to specialize in these because I am a queer, ADHDer, and a domestic violence survivor. I love being a therapist! Legally, I have to keep my coaching and therapist businesses separate, so you can find more information about therapy, assessments, or letters here. There, you can also read about how I became a therapist and how I came to specialize in, and offer, so many things. :)

(If you're ready to jump right into learning about coaching, you can do that here :)

 

ADHD and Autism Coaching

Sometimes when I do ADHD and Autism Assessments for people, they have expressed that they already have a therapist, but they would like coaching to help them make their lives a bit easier.

​

So I decided to start coaching, so I can help ADHD and Autistic people with things like: executive functioning, streamlining tasks, decision paralysis for next academic or career moves, understanding what parts of their challenges are due to ADHD or Autism, or both in AuDHD people, and what kinds of little changes they can make in their lives to work with their neurodiversity.

​

I made a free handout to help ADHD and Autistic people work on self-awareness and improving mood!

​

Books and Writing Coaching

I'm also an author! I wrote Rose Colored Glasses, a creative nonfiction memoir, to help people heal from toxic relationships. Rose Colored Glasses tells my story of being in a toxic relationship, so people can see the small warning signs as they present in the beginning of a relationship. After I became a therapist, I finished writing Rose Colored Glasses, and I added small chapters behind every chapter, explaining what was happening psychologically. These chapters help to really explain concepts such as love bombing, the cycle of violence, the power and control wheels, and all sorts of things about power dynamics, so that the reader can see how these concepts actually play out in real life.

​

Writing my story was incredibly emotionally challenging, and it was also cognitively challenging to choose how to tell it, how to organize it, how to edit it, and how to market it. I learned so much along the way that I decided I would also expand my coaching to help other people write their books, and tell their stories.

​

Course and Workbook for Healing from Toxic Relationships

I also wrote the Healing from Toxic Relationships Workbook, which teaches people about these same power dynamics, in a more straightforward way, with journal entries and coping tools. (And I put this material into an online course for those who want to learn and heal from toxic relationships.) So, I decided to also include coaching to help people who want to write workbooks to teach people.

​

Training, Courses, and Podcast Coaching

As a therapist, I write and present Continuing Education courses on ADHD and Toxic Relationships to other therapists. This process also had a learning curve, in writing the courses and then offering them! Though, in a previous career, I was an Instructional Designer and a Trainer, so I was able to bring that experience into this educational process. I love to support other therapists and educators in any field, in creating their courses and finding places to offer them. 

​

I also appear on podcasts! I've learned a lot about that process, and I'm happy to support people in that as well, or perhaps appear on your podcast!

​

Oh yes, and I'm a business owner! As a small business owner and entrepreneur, I have learned a lot about setting up businesses, creating workflow processes, and setting up a schedule that works for me. I love to help support people with their businesses!

​

​Whether you're looking for support with ADHD or Autism, writing a book, creating a course, or building a business, I'd love to hear what you're working on! You can learn more about my coaching services here and reach out if you'd like to work together.​
