Doctor of Psychology & Professional Consultant
Why Psychology + Leadership?
My coaching integrates psychologically informed mentorship with strategic, results‑driven guidance that is aligned with your individual vision. Leaders translate insight into action—shifting long‑standing patterns, improving decision‑making, and elevating their influence and impact across their organizations.
Why Psychology in Leadership?
Effective leadership isn’t driven by strategy alone—it’s shaped by the inner world of the leader. The beliefs, emotional patterns, and interpersonal dynamics that influence decision‑making are often the true determinants of performance. This is why psychological expertise is not just an advantage in executive coaching; it’s essential.
With a background rooted in evidence‑based psychological intervention, leadership development, and complex human behavior, I help leaders understand why they lead the way they do—and how to evolve those patterns for greater impact.
​
The Power of a Psychological Lens
Leadership is fundamentally about people. Guiding teams, navigating conflict, managing pressure, and inspiring change all require a deep understanding of human behavior. A psychology‑informed approach allows leaders to:
-
Uncover behavioral patterns that shape their leadership style
-
Create meaningful, lasting change rather than surface‑level adjustments
-
Build emotional resilience in high‑pressure, high‑stakes environments
-
Strengthen emotional intelligence to improve communication and relationships
-
Navigate change and crisis with clarity, adaptability, and steadiness

How This Shapes My Work
My coaching integrates psychologically informed mentorship with strategic, results‑driven guidance. This combination allows leaders to translate insight into action—shifting long‑standing habits, improving decision‑making, and elevating their influence across their organizations.
Why It Matters
Leaders who understand their own internal landscape lead with greater confidence, empathy, and effectiveness. They communicate more clearly, resolve conflicts more skillfully, and create cultures where people thrive.
When you work with Dr. Kate, this is the standard. My work is grounded in psychological expertise and tailored to the unique challenges of executives, founders, and high‑performing professionals. The result is growth that is not only measurable but sustainable.

Psychology doesn’t just enhance leadership—it transforms it.
Why Psychologically Informed Coaching?
My coaching integrates psychologically informed mentorship with strategic, results‑driven guidance that is aligned with your individual vision, goals, values, and purpose. Clients translate insight into action—understanding and shifting long‑standing patterns, improving clarity, groundedness in identity and decision‑making, and elevating their life and practices along the life journey.
Why Acquire a Personal Coach?
Because insight matters — and so does how it’s delivered. With a doctorate in psychology, I bring a deep understanding of human behavior, motivation, and change. But I don’t just sit behind a clipboard. My approach is grounded, relational, and mentorship‑driven. I meet you where you are — in the comfort of my office, on a trail, on skis (or snowboard in my case), at a café, or in a quiet space where you can breathe and think clearly.
​
This is coaching informed by science, shaped by experience, and designed for real life.
​
Why a Doctor of Psychology?
-
You get depth, not guesswork. You’re not just talking through challenges — you’re working with someone trained to understand the patterns beneath them.
-
You gain a strategic partner, not just a cheerleader. Psychological insight helps you see blind spots, shift behaviors, and build the internal architecture for lasting change.
-
You move faster and more intentionally. Evidence‑based understanding accelerates growth, clarity, and alignment.
​
Why This Approach?
-
Because healing and growth don’t only happen in an office. Movement, nature, and real‑world environments open doors that traditional settings (and traditional clinicians can’t.
-
Because mentorship creates momentum. You get guidance that’s personal, practical, and grounded in who you are — not a one‑size‑fits‑all model.
-
Because you deserve support that feels human. This is a space where you can be honest, curious, challenged, and supported without the formality of a clinical room.​
​
Why Now?
-
Because waiting keeps you stuck in the same loop. If you're feeling the pull for clarity, alignment, healing, or change, that's your system signaling readiness.
-
Because your next chapter won't write itself. The longer you postpone your growth, the longer you postpone the life you know you were meant to live.
-
Because momentum is built in the present. When you take the first step now - not "someday" - you interrupt old patterns and create space for something new.
