THE HEART OF OUR STORY
Sometimes our toughest experiences lead us to a new path for ourselves– and even provide a light for others.
MEET THE FOUNDER
I know how frustrating it can feel to be misunderstood by a therapist. It’s disheartening to be offered strategies that do not work for your neurodivergent brain, only to feel dismissed—or worse, blamed—when those approaches fall short, leaving you feeling lost and defeated. I’ve walked that road.
After struggling to find support that truly understood me and my loved ones, I turned that frustration into passionate purpose. I pursued my masters degree with dedication, graduating with honors, and went on to establish Neurodiverse Institute (NDI)—a space designed to holistically support neurodivergent individuals.
As a provisionally licensed clinical mental health counselor with a special heart for neurodiversity, my passion is making sure no one has to feel as alone or misunderstood as I once did. At NDI, our team is committed to staying at the forefront of research and education to provide the most effective care for ADHD, Autism, and Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA).
Our focus is you. Whether it’s navigating relationships, overcoming school or career challenges, or surviving the chaos of parenting, we’re here to walk alongside you.
Diagnosed? Self-diagnosed? Just starting to figure things out? Wherever you are on your journey, you belong here.
Welcome to Neurodiverse Institute. Let’s light the way forward—together.
