Let's Rebuild and Flourish.
But Safely.
Hi I'm Kristine! (She/Her) I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and AuDHD Therapist providing virtual services for residents of Colorado and Oregon.
Traditional services can be unhelpful or even harmful to neurodivergent individuals, and I have taken special care to build a space where brains and bodies that don't fit the typical mold are safe, valued, and truly understood.
As an AuDHD therapist, I do not just understand neurodivergence clinically. I live it. I know what it feels like to navigate a world that was not designed for your brain, and what it means to finally have the right information about yourself.
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. You are not alone, and it is possible to flourish beyond life-altering or hard experiences.

How I work
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Understanding your inner world as a system of parts, each with a purpose and worth understanding with compassion.
Somatic Therapy
Your nervous system holds the history of everything you have experienced. Somatic work connects body and healing.
Neurotype Affirming
Your brain is not a disorder to be corrected. It is a different operating system that was never given the right manual.
Attachment-Based
Understanding how early relationships shaped your patterns, and how the therapeutic relationship itself can be part of healing.
Person-Centered
You are the expert on your own experience. My job is to create the conditions for your own insight and growth.
Disability Affirming
I approach all work with an understanding of the social model of disability and the very real barriers that come with it.
Evening walks with my Chicken Nugget are the best part of the day.
