About ME

Hi, I'm Dr. Kristen.

I help driven, over-functioning women quiet the noise, calm the nervous system, and finally feel at home in the lives they've worked so hard to build.

No fluff. No toxic positivity. No advice that ignores your actual life.

My Story

I built the life. Then I had to rebuild myself.


For over a decade, I built a career as a psychologist helping people calm their nervous systems, step out of overdrive, and get back to themselves. I was good at it. I loved the work. And the life I had worked so hard to build still wasn't filling me the way I thought it would.

So I did what high-achieving women do: I pushed harder. I doubled down. I over-functioned. I kept giving other people the tools I wasn't willing to use on myself, and in the process, I became the very thing keeping me stuck.

Eventually I had to stop long enough to get honest with myself. And when I did, everything changed. That's why I coach.

How I Work

Science-based. Practical. Actually useful.

Three things you'll notice are different about working with me.

01

Root cause, not symptom.

I know the difference between treating a symptom and actually solving a problem. We go underneath the exhaustion to find what's actually driving it.

02

Nervous system first.

You can't out think a dysregulated nervous system. We start with regulation, then build from there.


03

Built for your real life.

No 5am routines you'll abandon by Thursday. We build rhythms that work with your nervous system, your schedule, and the life you actually want to live.

Let's Talk

If you're tired but wired, you're in the right place.

If downtime feels impossible, rest feels guilty, and you can't remember the last time you actually exhaled, you're in the right place. You don't need another productivity hack. You need a way back to yourself. Let's talk.
