The Catalyst approach

Growth is as individual as the people pursuing it.

Different minds. Deeper understanding. Meaningful growth.

People experience and make sense of the world differently. Some process experiences through emotion and connection, while others rely more heavily on analysis, pattern recognition, or action. Rather than expecting everyone to think, communicate, or approach challenges in the same way, Jennie tailors her work to how each person understands themselves, relates to others, and navigates their circumstances.

Through relational insight, structured questioning, and practical, behavior-based strategies, Jennie helps individuals, partners, and organizations explore the influences shaping their experiences, understand the dynamics affecting their lives and relationships, and discover new ways of moving forward with intentionality, integrity, and mutual respect.

The goal isn't to change who people are. It's to help them understand themselves and their circumstances more fully, recognize new possibilities, and move forward with greater clarity, intention, and confidence.

01Understand the PatternExplore the experiences, perspectives, and established patterns that influence how we think, feel, communicate, and respond to challenges. By recognizing what shapes our choices and interactions, we create opportunities for greater understanding and intentional change.
02Translate DifferencesRecognize and navigate differences in how we perceive, interpret, and respond to the world around us. Whether these differences exist between people or between our intentions, expectations, and circumstances, understanding them creates opportunities for greater clarity, connection, and growth.
03Put Insight Into ActionApply new perspectives through practical, individualized strategies that support intentional choices and lasting behavioral change. Together, we explore how to put understanding into practice in ways that strengthen relationships, improve everyday interactions, and support progress toward meaningful goals.
A space for growth and discovery

What is mentoring?

Mentoring offers a collaborative space to step outside familiar ways of thinking, examine what shapes your experiences, and consider possibilities you may not have recognized before.

Whether you're navigating a particular challenge, adjusting to changing circumstances, strengthening relationships, or simply feeling ready for something different, mentoring begins wherever you are.

Through thoughtful conversation, individualized guidance, and practical strategies, Jennie helps people develop greater clarity and translate understanding into meaningful action.

Evolution doesn't always happen sitting across from someone.

Sometimes it happens through conversation. Sometimes through movement, shared experiences, or engaging with the world in new ways. At Catalyst, mentoring is shaped around the people involved, allowing the work to extend beyond traditional meeting spaces and into the environments where understanding and change can take root.

You don't need to know exactly where you want to go to begin exploring what's possible.

A note about mentoring and therapy: Catalyst Growth Lab provides mentoring and organizational consulting, not psychotherapy or mental health treatment. Mentoring focuses on personal and professional development, exploration, and intentional growth. It does not include mental health diagnosis or clinical treatment and is not a substitute for care from a licensed mental health professional when such care is needed.

The person behind Catalyst

Meet Jennie

Curious about people. Passionate about possibility.

Jennie brings a background in human behavior, relationships, and personal development to her work as the founder of Catalyst Growth Lab. With a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, she has spent years exploring the ways people understand themselves, connect with others, and navigate the complexities of their lives.

Her work is grounded in a genuine fascination with how differently people experience the world and what becomes possible when those differences are understood rather than treated as obstacles.

Jennie created Catalyst Growth Lab to offer a more expansive setting for personal, relational, and professional development. She is drawn to the moments when a new perspective changes how someone understands themselves, their relationships, and the opportunities in front of them.

Warm, direct, curious, and collaborative, Jennie brings both thoughtful inquiry and practical perspective to her work. She is comfortable exploring complexity, asking difficult questions, and helping people find their own way forward without imposing a particular vision of who they should become.
