I help others find the joy in life during and after major life transitions.
Going through a transition in your life, location or career?
Why partner with me?
There are tons of coaches out there, but not all of them have gone through the challenges that life has thrown my way. I’ve gone through family estrangement, divorce, job loss, the need to relocate cities and more. Each of these difficult life transitions forced me to change not only for my survival, but also to reclaim my peace, happiness and confidence.
Change is hard, but through partnering with someone who understands life’s challenges and how to overcome them, you will feel more reassured every step on your journey. You, too, can find the joy in life during and after major life changes. I would love to be your accountability partner and boost your self-esteem along the way to achieving your goals.

REVIEWS
"Cate’s reflection shows a deep connection between her core values and the kind of coach she is. She has taken difficult personal experiences and transformed them into empathy, authenticity, and a desire to create the kind of supportive space she once needed herself. The clarity Cate has about wanting clients to feel safe, seen, and free to express themselves will make your coaching relationship both meaningful and empowering. Her lived experience is shaping a truly compassionate approach."
Dr. Misty M., Instructor, Certified Professional Life Coaching Program at the University of Georgia
"I have to admit, in my career I’ve both directly managed and been part of teams with marketing project management leads and absolutely none of them convinced me that the role was essential. That said, Cate has completely changed my opinion of the role and she will leave incredibly big shoes to fill. Cate also brought a special energy, thoughtfulness, and professionalism to the team, making each of the meetings productive and worthwhile to attend."
Dustin B., Origami Risk
"Cate considers every classroom and school context, while taking students’ backgrounds, level and needs analysis into consideration. She then, thoughtfully, plans, designs and shows these incorporated into every lesson."
Richard C., TEFL Advisor at The TEFL.org
"Cate has a way of always making everyone feel included in the workplace. She always made her students feel this way as well, and focused on the learners’ personal goals."
Carly S., The Diane Boehm Writing Center at Saginaw Valley State University
