I’m Dr. Kristen,  a therapist, speaker, author, and late-diagnosed autistic ADHDer.

 

I work at the intersection of psychology, identity, and being unapologetically weird.

For over 10 years, I’ve worked in mental health, helping people untangle the knots of shame, burnout, and internalized “shoulds.”

​

I’m licensed in multiple states and hold a Doctorate in Behavioral Health Management, but more importantly? I get it mostly because I live it.

​

I wasn’t diagnosed with autism and ADHD until my late 30's, and by then, I had spent decades masking, people-pleasing, and wondering why I always felt “off.”

​

My diagnosis wasn’t a label,  it was a lifeline for me! Since then, I’ve made it my mission to help other neurodivergent humans reclaim their story, their brilliance, and their peace.

​

These days, I help workplaces design more inclusive systems, coach neurodivergent humans to build sustainable success, and create books, courses, and tools that actually make sense for spicy brains.

Whether you found me through a podcast, a book, or pure late-night doomscrolling — welcome!! You belong here.

 

Weirdness included.
