Come As You Are,
But for real.

I am so happy you are here! I offer neurodiversity-affirming and disability-affirming virtual therapy. If you feel like the world was not made for you, something is wrong with you, or you are trying to rebuild your self-worth or identity, you have found a place where you will be celebrated, not tolerated.

Let's Rebuild and Flourish.
But Safely.

Hi, I'm Kristine! I love helping people build self-worth and uncover their true, sacred selves in a safe way. I am experienced in helping late-diagnosed, high-masking autistic individuals navigate through their journey, as well as those with dynamic disabilities and chronic illness.

Traditional services can be unhelpful or even harmful to neurodivergent individuals. I have taken special care to build a space where you are valued, understood, and accommodated.

As an AuDHD therapist myself, I understand from the inside what it means to navigate a world that was not designed for your brain. There are so many complex experiences that could result in lower self-worth, and I would love to help you begin to heal and rebuild.

Neurodivergent Adults

Late-diagnosed and high-masking autistic individuals, AuDHD (autism and ADHD together), ADHD, and Autism with a PDA Profile (Persistent Drive for Autonomy or Pathological Demand Avoidance). I have taken special care to build a space where neurodivergent individuals are valued, understood, and accommodated.

Self-Worth and Identity

Self-worth work is for everyone. Whether your sense of self has been shaped by neurodivergence, trauma, relationships, chronic illness, or a lifetime of being told you are too much or not enough, rebuilding and flourishing is possible. You deserve to feel at home in yourself.

Self-Worth Building Identity Rebuilding Self-Esteem Self-Trust

Developmental Trauma, PTSD and Complex-PTSD

Trauma can shape the way you see yourself, others, and the world around you. I use a trauma-informed approach and help you gently explore and heal developmental trauma, PTSD, or Complex PTSD at a pace that feels safe.

Narcissistic Abuse and Coercive Control Recovery

Narcissistic abuse and coercive control can devastate your sense of self in ways that are difficult to name and even harder to recover from. I offer support whether you are still in the relationship, working toward leaving, or in recovery. You do not have to have anything figured out to receive support. You do not have to go through this alone.

LGBTQ+ and Kink Allied

I support LGBTQ+ clients, kink communities, and individuals exploring sexuality and identity. For many autistic and neurodivergent people, this is a meaningful part of self-understanding. You're welcome to bring your full self here without judgement.

Dynamic Disability and Chronic Illness

Invisible and fluctuating conditions are frequently dismissed by the medical system and misunderstood by others. Getting answers can take years, and it often involves being dismissed, misunderstood, or not fully believed. These experiences can have a lasting impact and contribute to medical trauma and self-doubt. Conditions like ME/CFS, POTS, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Long Covid, and other chronic illnesses carry real grief—including grief for the life you worked so hard for or imagined, and for the energy you no longer have. You are not a burden. You are believed here—without having to prove it. Your experience is valid, and you deserve to be supported and taken seriously.

"There are so many complex experiences that could result in lower self-worth. You are not alone, and it is possible to flourish beyond life-altering or hard experiences."
