Bio
Autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD folx welcome. Whether you are considering neurodivergence, have a confirmed diagnosis, or are self-realized, there is a place for you in Kristy’s office. Sometimes social media conversations can spark important questions, and therapy can offer a thoughtful, grounded space to explore those experiences with greater clarity and self-understanding.
Kristy provides support across a wide range of areas, including self-rediscovery after diagnosis, processing late-identified neurodivergence, ADHD executive functioning strategies, burnout recovery, return-to-work planning, self-compassion work, parent support for caregivers of neurodivergent children, and academic planning for both high school and university students.
Medication can be helpful in managing some of the challenges associated with ADHD, but it does not always build the long-term systems and practical skills needed for daily success. Kristy works collaboratively with clients to develop executive functioning strategies that align with how their brain works. Sessions often include practicing and refining real-world strategies so clients leave feeling prepared and confident applying them in everyday life.
Kristy is a Registered Social Worker(c) providing therapy and mental health support to adolescents and adults aged 12 and older. Her approach is neurodiversity-affirming, collaborative, and grounded in helping clients better understand themselves while building practical tools that support everyday functioning and long-term wellbeing.
