Kate and Dr. Cory are the dynamic duo behind Be a Problem Solver, which strives to give parents of adolescents tools for helping them navigate modern life while developing their own identity as self-advocates in doing so! They share a love of service and helping parents figure out their role during the tween and teen years.

They met working together at a preschool for children with varying needs. After teaching for several years in Bahrain, China, and the USA, Kate transitioned to becoming a speech language pathologist and social skills researcher, and Dr. Cory earned his PhD in Counseling and Counselor Education.

Together, this husband and wife team bring a unique perspective on social-emotional development, navigating technology use in family systems, and raising tweens and teens to be self-advocates for their own social needs in a modern world.
