Book a CallHi, I’m Dr. Regina.
I’ve been called “too much,” “too sensitive,” “too curious,” and more than once, “too smart for my own good.” I spent most of my life thinking I was broken.
Turns out I wasn’t broken. I’m AuDHD, and I found out at basically 50. That diagnosis cracked my life wide open in the best and hardest way.
Here’s the part that still makes me laugh: I have a Ph.D. built on studying role-playing games and identity. I spent years researching how people create characters, build new selves, and figure out who they are inside worlds with different rules.
Turns out, I had been studying myself the whole time.
I was playing my own life on the hardest difficulty setting with a character build that didn’t match my actual stats. High achievement on paper. Burnout, masking, and overperforming behind the scenes, inside systems that were never designed for my brain.
The diagnosis didn’t change who I was. It handed me the actual game manual.
Now I help other late-diagnosed folks do the same.
My work blends identity-aware insight, lived experience of late diagnosis, nervous system regulation, and executive function strategy — without shame.
No productivity guilt. No fixing you. No blowing up your life.
You're not broken. You've been adapting.
