People count on you to hold it all together, to lead with purpose in demanding, sometimes relentless environments. But the balance¹ that fuels your life is no longer holding.

I bring over two decades of coaching and facilitation expertise² to help you realign your work and life with the purpose, focus, and energy needed to thrive.

1–If you’re feeling stagnant, burnt-out, or like you’re moving through the world without an effective compass, you’ve come to the right place. Or maybe you've just taken on more responsibility or want to seize a new and an exciting opportunity. Wherever you are, the tools for alignment are within your reach.

2–My approach blends deep education in leadership, narrative, and human development, shaped by years of practice and training—and yes, occasionally punctuated by an improvisational trust fall.

One-on-One Coaching

When you’re carrying a lot, leading through change, or standing at a crossroads, it helps to have structured time that’s just for you.

  • If you’re ready to pause, reflect, and move forward with more intention, then yes—coaching might be for you. Coaching gives you space to surface ideas and strengths you already have, and then put them to work. You can expect to clarify your purpose, strengthen your decision-making, gain new perspective, and accelerate your growth. Even if things are going well, coaching helps you deepen self-awareness, reframe challenges, and design actions that align with what matters most to you.

  • A coaching session with Katy is a focused, future-oriented conversation designed to bring out your best thinking. Sessions typically last about an hour and take place virtually. Katy listens intently, asks powerful questions, and reflects your spoken and nonverbal messages so you can capture your own insights more clearly. Rather than prescribing answers, she helps you explore possibilities, identify obstacles, and choose actions that feel both realistic and energizing. Many clients describe the experience as both grounding and eye-opening—an intentional pause in the rush of life where they leave with greater clarity, confidence, and concrete steps forward.

  • Katy brings both depth and warmth to her coaching, combining rigorous professional training with an intuitive ability to connect. She is certified through the Coaches Training Institute (CTI) and International Coaching Federation (ICF), and has worked with leaders, educators, and creatives navigating complex challenges and growth opportunities. Clients consistently describe her as an acute listener who helps them uncover ideas they wouldn’t reach on their own, while offering strategies and frameworks that endure long after the session ends. Whether you’re seeking professional advancement, personal fulfillment, or both, Katy’s approach balances curiosity, compassion, and practical tools to help you move forward with confidence.

All these qualities paired with a depth of leadership and coaching knowledge made this experience invaluable.

  • “I was really hesitant at first, and then I had this “Oh no! I have to think and talk about myself A LOT” realization. But then the coaching allowed me to be so much more introspective, and made me think about things I usually don’t – things that I’ve just moved on from in the past and then never taken the time to go back to. This helped me break it down and have a different way of looking at things so I could move forward.”
