Kris comes from a background in working in citizen-run social projects in Cusco, Peru and Buenos Aires, Argentina as both a volunteer and a coordinator. Her experiences in this work led her to pursue her PsyD, where her training experiences focused in therapeutic support of children and families. She specializes in neurodiverse/identity-affirming psychological assessment and works with individuals and families who seek support for a wide array of presenting concerns, including but not limited to learning difficulties, autism, ADHD, trauma, and other various mental health concerns. In her past therapeutic work, she has especially enjoyed utilizing play therapy to support young children and strengthen the attachment relationships with caregivers. In her non-psychologist time, Kris loves spending time in nature with her golden retriever and camping around the country with friends. An unforgettable travel experience was conquering the highest waterfall in Rhode Island.
Kris received her BA from Vassar College in 2011 and her PsyD from Antioch University New England in 2018. She completed an APA-accredited pre-doctoral internship with Morrison Child and Family Services in Gresham, Oregon, followed by post-doctoral and licensed work with Mindsights in Portland, Oregon. Upon her return to the East Coast, she practiced as a licensed psychologist in both Rhode Island and New Hampshire.
