About

Hi, I’m Katie, the coach behind Take a Beat.

As someone who has transitioned in my own career, I know how it feels to live with a sense of uncertainty and frustration when you don’t resonate with what you’re doing everyday.

I started out in journalism but quickly realized that my dream of being a writer didn’t really jive with living on deadline. I also wanted to work more directly with others.

Those realizations led me to pursue becoming a therapist, and I was lucky to be able to use my skills as a writer to bridge my way through school while also working and then getting licensed as a counselor.

Once I made it there, I discovered that I wanted to help others do the same—to find values-aligned work that is a match to their strengths and interests.

Hence, this coaching program began!

Given my therapy background, I enjoy working collaboratively with clients and providing a safe space where you can explore and gain clarity around what makes you tick as well as your goals and aspirations.

As a coach, my goal is to guide you through the process of change in a streamlined manner, reducing frustration and time lost that can often arise from going it alone.

If you’re interested to find out more, I’d love to hear from you.
