about kristen
I am a licensed occupational therapist, certified ADHD-Rehabilitation Services Provider (ADHD-RSP), and life coach trained by the Co-Active Institute. With a Master's in Leadership, I founded Kristen Coached Me to help others thrive.
With a diverse career in direct care, team leadership, and healthcare management, my late-in-life ADHD diagnosis sparked a passion for helping people understand their brains and build authentic, fulfilling lives.
I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples. - Mother Teresa
Coaching has transformed my life.
People often think of coaching as either 'life' or 'executive'—I believe it’s both.
Coaching has transformed my life. It inspired me to pursue leadership, and with the support of an executive coach, I grew as a leader, earned a Master’s in Leadership, and was promoted. The tools I learned shaped every part of my life—from my personal relationships to how I see my future. This transformation led me to become a coach, and now I’m committed to helping others experience the same life-changing results.

what makes an effective client - coach relationship? it's all about the chemistry!
I understand that trusting someone with your challenges can be intimidating, which is why I offer a complimentary chemistry call. You bring a personal or professional challenge, and I’ll listen. By the end of the call, we’ll decide if we’re a good fit. If not, I’ll share resources or recommend other coaches. This gives you a no-strings-attached opportunity to experience working with me and decide if it feels right.
Shall we work together?
What will your life be like if you DON'T take action?
What are you tolerating?
What do you dream of doing?
how can i help?
If you're curious about coaching, but are not quite ready for a chemistry call, that's OK. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have. Hit the email icon below, or complete the contact form, and I'll be back to you shortly.
