Past Student:
“Being taught by a professor who was so unapologetically themselves was a breath of fresh air. It helped me be free to be myself, succeed, and remain an effective counselor.”
Colleague:
“Kate has a rare gift for making people feel instantly welcomed and seen. Her warmth, social nature, and deep love for human connection make her an exceptional counselor and community leader.
She’s a champion for the underdog and lives out her strong sense of service daily. What I admire most is her ability to set boundaries while staying lighthearted and balanced—she knows which battles are worth fighting.
Her humor, curiosity, love for travel, and appreciation for art and culture shine through in everything she does. Kate is not only supportive—she’s empowering, especially to those of us in the arts and advocacy spaces.”

Business Owner:
"Dr. Kate’s talk on imposter syndrome was exactly what I didn’t know I needed. As a woman business owner, I appreciated her ability to be both deeply relatable and refreshingly honest—even dropping the F word in a way that felt empowering, not performative. She created a space where we could laugh, reflect, and finally feel seen."
