Hi! I’m Kate.

I am so glad you are here.

As a child, I moved often, resulting in being the “new kid” several times. I remember grade six in particular, feeling nervous, lonely, and depressed. Unfortunately, I didn’t have an adult at school to help me through those challenges. This experience propelled me into becoming a middle school counselor.

My twenty eight year career as a middle school counselor and school administrator has given me the knowledge and skills to help middle school students and their parents through private coaching. Not only do I have years of experience working with students and their families through a school setting, I am a certified life coach with a focus on youth and parent support.

I have designed my coaching practice to coach both the student and the parent individually, which results in a more balanced and calmer household. I coach the student on the challenge they are facing whether it be social, organizational, anxiety, or perfectionism. I coach the parent on how to foster better communication, boundary setting, and how to shift their parenting style to become more of a consultant to their middle schooler, rather than manager.

What has made me stand out with my students and parents is how caring and helpful I am. I truly love this age group and it shines through. That is why I call my coaching practice heart centered.
