Welcome - Hi, I'm Kate.
As a Neurodivergent Therapeutic Coach, I specialize in ADHD, Autism, and AuDHD coaching. I work with clients who self-identify or are diagnosed as neurodivergent
How Neurodivergent Coaching Can Support You
ADHD Coaching
ADHD coaching equips you with practical tools to thrive. ADHD often brings challenges like:
- Difficulties with planning and prioritizing,
- Struggles with emotional regulation, and
- Issues with time management.
Together, we’ll create a personalized toolkit to help you manage these challenges, build confidence, and improve self-esteem.
AuDHD Coaching
Living with both ADHD and Autism can feel like a constant balancing act. You might:
- Crave order but struggle with consistency,
- Overcommit and feel overwhelmed, or
- Experience burnout from trying to do it all.
Through coaching, we’ll navigate these contradictions, build resilience, and embrace your unique strengths.
Autistic-Affirming Coaching
I believe all neurodivergent brains are valuable and capable. My approach is:
- Strengths-based, focusing on your unique abilities,
- Supportive of self-compassion and self-care practices, and
- A space where you can fully be yourself, without masking or conforming to neurotypical norms.
What Is Neurodivergent Coaching?
Neurodivergent coaching is a personalized, collaborative process tailored to your unique needs. It’s not a one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we’ll focus on:
- Building self-understanding and resilience,
- Forming habits that work for you, and
- Making meaningful changes to help you thrive.
My goal is to help you bounce back from challenges, develop emotional regulation, and view yourself with compassion.
