ABOUT
KIERSTEN

It's good to meet you! 

You might be here because everything feels harder than it “should.” You’re overwhelmed, burned out, or exhausted from constantly managing things others don’t have to think about—trying to keep up with your brain, your body, or both. Maybe starting tasks feels impossible, routines don’t stick, or your energy and symptoms are unpredictable. I work with neurodivergent individuals (ADHD, autism, OCD etc.) and those living with chronic or undiagnosed illness such as general autoimmune conditions, endometriosis, T1D, POTS, dysautonomia, and rare diseases. Together, we focus on understanding your system—not forcing it to fit expectations.

Many of my clients are used to being misunderstood—told to push through, try harder, or ignore what their body or mind is signaling. You may be navigating burnout, executive dysfunction, or frustration from strategies that haven’t worked. It can feel like you’re doing everything you can and it’s still not enough.

Together, we explore supports, accommodations, and ways of functioning that align with your needs, energy, and capacity—so life feels more sustainable. This work isn’t about fixing you. It’s about building a life that actually works for you—with compassion, flexibility, and tools that support how your brain and body function.
