Do I Need a Life Coach?
And What Does a Life Coach Do?

  • Do you feel stuck?
  • Do you feel like something is in the way of accomplishing your goals?
  • Do you have difficulty setting boundaries?
  • Do you feel stagnant and see no significant progress in your life?
  • Do you have trouble making meaningful relationships?

If you answered YES to any or all of these questions, getting a life coach may be what you need.

The primary focus of a life coach is helping you with your future plans, personal growth, and finding ways you can fulfill your goals. Life coaching can assist you to uncover what you need, who you are, and help you achieve the best version of yourself. Life coaches analyze their clients' current situations to support them in understanding the steps they can take to create positive changes in their lives.

It's important to note that Life Coaches don't have all the answers, but have powerful tools to help answer your questions and guide you in the right direction.

Also, know that results come to those who put in the work. You may also already have all the tools you need and what you truly need is someone to boost you up to get past those heavy bags of bricks.

Hola, I'm Katherine!

My career has spanned various roles, where I have guided the neurodivergent population through the complexities of learning how to communicate, follow daily tasks, navigate grade school, and transition to higher education, employment, independent living, and social integration. My experience also includes conducting Parent Trainings at the South Los Angeles Regional Center and serving as an Ambassador for a Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging Council. With strong leadership and managerial skills, I have continually fostered inclusive environments and supported personal growth within clients, staff, and colleagues.

As a ICF Certified Life Coach and UCLA-PEERS Certified Instructor and bilingual Spanish speaker, I understand that adults require extra support throughout every stage of their lives, which is why I am passionate about empowering clients with different learning abilities to identify their core values, build self-confidence, and nurture meaningful relationships. My holistic approach integrates evidence-based practices with real-world applications, enabling my clients to overcome personal obstacles and develop the tools they need to achieve success in their lives.
