Pattern Recognition
You bring the situation. I find what's underneath it: the loop, the belief, the old wiring running things behind the scenes. Sometimes naming it is the thing that changes everything.

Your mind isn't broken. The systems you've been given are.
For autistic and ADHD adults tired of rules that were never built for them.

I listen for the pattern. Then I build around it.
Most coaches hand you a system. I watch how your mind works and build from there.

If "how does that make you feel?" has ever made you want to scream, same. I help you build concrete decision frameworks, checklists, and if/then structures that work when you are flooded and feelings aren't helpful data.
I'm not into scripts. You get a direct, steady person across from you who isn't going to flinch at the hard stuff or waste your time with platitudes. You talk. I listen closely. We figure it out.


When something clicks in session, I don't just hope you'll remember it. I build pocket-sized digital tools. Think personalized apps designed around your language, your logic, even your favorite colors, so the thing that works is right there when you need it.

I spent years in social work doing crisis intervention, working with homelessness, and high-risk mental health diagnoses. The kind of situations where you have to think fast and notice everything. That now shapes how I coach: I'm direct, I'm steady, and I am comfortable with the hard stuff.
I'm also neurodivergent, which means I'm not guessing at what your experience is like. I've lived the late diagnosis. I've lived the years of wondering why things that seemed easy for everyone else required so much invisible effort. I'm not “neurodivergent-affirming” as a marketing checkbox. I'm walking the same path.
And I build things. When a PDF isn't going to cut it, I open a code editor. When a concept needs to live somewhere other than a conversation, I make it a tool. That started in grad school. I once used “Let It Go” from Frozen to teach a kid about anxiety because she didn't care about evidence-based models but she cared about Elsa. Ten years later, the instinct is the same: meet the actual person. Build around them.
The tools work because the coaching came first.
The Anti-Worksheet: Building a Pocket-Sized Reset Console
She kept spiraling over whether to call in sick to work — not because she didn't know the answer, but because the decision became enormous when she was already overwhelmed. So I built her a decision kit with eight questions based on things I knew about her brain. I built an interactive version of a coping tool where she taps anxious thoughts and watches them drift to the back seat. The whole thing is in pastel mint because that's her color and your nervous system shouldn't have to fight the tool that's supposed to help it.
No generic app can do that. The tools work because the coaching came first.

"I feel like she gets me. I'm never left feeling like I'm just getting generic help. She even made me a custom app. It has been really helpful when I feel myself starting to spiral in my thoughts and emotions. She was able to take things we talked about and make it into an easily accessible resource. Working with Katy has really changed things for me. I've been learning what my values are and how to navigate the world by them. It has been so freeing. Most important to me is that I've found a lot of self-acceptance."
"Incredibly caring and validating. She reminded me of good qualities about myself that she picked up on in our conversation."
"You were exactly what I needed when everything first hit the fan for me." — M.S.
"Katy held the safest, most engaging space for me to process emotions I'd held in for the longest time. I feel renewed and uplifted."
Book a free consultation. We talk, figure out if it's a fit, and pick your tier and package right there on the call.
Most new clients book 4 or 6 sessions to start. Enough for both of us to know this works. After that, most people stay — but you never have to decide that upfront.
Custom tools aren't a separate service or an add-on. If something we uncover in coaching would work better as a tool you can carry with you, I build it. That's just how I work.
Three tiers, same coaching, no questions asked. You choose what's sustainable for you and not what hurts.
You've probably scrolled through a lot of coaching sites. Most of them say some version of “unlock your potential” or “step into your power.” I'm not going to do that.
If you've been managing everything mostly on your own, building invisible systems to get through days that aren't designed for you, and you're starting to hit the wall — you don't need a motivational framework. You need someone who can see how your mind works and help you build around it instead of against it.
