ABOUT ME
I’m here to support neurodivergent individuals in building skills, confidence, and independence so they can create a life that feels meaningful and true to them.
— Your Coach, Katherine Green
My connection to the neurodivergent community is both personal and professional. As the mother of two neurodivergent adults, I understand the challenges families can face while navigating school systems, IEP meetings, services, changing family dynamics, and the many decisions that come with supporting a loved one.
Over the years, I have seen how autism can affect every member of a family. I have also watched my son’s unique qualities, likability, and ability to inspire others become increasingly clear. These experiences taught me the importance of recognizing
the whole person, supporting every family member, and looking
beyond challenges to see strengths and possibilities.
My years working in education, along with continued training and study, have deepened my understanding of the wide range of experiences within the neurodivergent community. I have learned more about masking, camouflaging, nervous-system regulation, and the impact that different environments can have on a person’s well-being.
This combination of lived experience, education, and ongoing learning is what led me to coaching. I am passionate about helping neurodivergent individuals and their families feel understood, build confidence, advocate for their needs, and move toward greater autonomy in ways that are meaningful to them.
Certified Neurodivergent Coach | Counseling-Trained | B.A. in Psychology, Sonoma State University
I believe neurodivergent people experience and process the world differently, not incorrectly. Autism is not something that needs to be fixed. Every person is unique,
and support should reflect the individual rather than rely on a one-size-fits-all approach.
My coaching is grounded in autonomy, honesty, and respect. I believe every person deserves the opportunity to advocate for their needs, make informed choices,
and pursue greater independence when that is meaningful and realistic for them.
I also believe strengths should be recognized and nurtured first. Many neurodivergent individuals develop deep interests, specialized knowledge, creativity, and dedication that can become powerful assets in school, work, relationships, and community life.
When people feel seen for what they can do, confidence and self-trust can grow.
Because no two paths are the same, coaching is collaborative and individualized. Together, we look at the person’s goals, environment, relationships, challenges, and existing strengths to identify practical ways forward.
I am committed to lifelong learning and staying informed about
emerging research while continuing to respect the lived experiences
of neurodivergent individuals and their families.
