I serve as Operations Director for the Men's ADHD Support Group, a nonprofit supporting over 23,000 men with ADHD, autism, and related conditions. I run one of the largest neurodivergent parenting communities on Facebook with over 430,000 members in my ADHD Parent Support Group, providing evidence-based resources and peer support. I also serve on the board of directors for Dueling Minds and partner with ScienceWorks Behavioral Healthcare as their Executive Function and Parenting Coach.

 

As Marketing Lead for the International Conference on ADHD, I work with CHADD, ADDA, and ACO to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and practical application. Through training, public speaking, and advocacy, I help medical professionals, corporations, and educational institutions understand that neurodivergent support isn't about lowering standards—it's about creating systems that allow people to use their strengths effectively.

​

Why This Work Matters to Me

I grew up in an abusive home with an alcoholic father and a mother steeped in fundamentalist religion. Nobody understood why I was different—not my parents, teachers, or friends. They saw my neurodivergence as defiance or oddity, constantly pressuring me to fit into molds that weren't made for me. Without understanding what made me different, I spent my teens and twenties lost, homeless at times, turning to addictive behaviors just to survive a world that refused to understand me.

 

Everything shifted when my oldest son was diagnosed with ADHD. It was like looking into a mirror. For the first time, I had to confront my own neurodivergence. But even then, it took three more years and three different psychiatrists before I finally got diagnosed at 35—first with ADHD, then autism. Like many neurodivergent adults, I navigated life without proper support for far too long. By the time I found the right medication and support, years of unmanaged ADHD and autism had taken their toll, eventually leading to a career-ending mental health crisis in my corporate project management role.

 

That crisis became the catalyst for something greater. In 2019, with the arrival of twins and a fibromyalgia diagnosis that forced strict energy management, I realized my neurodivergence wasn't a weakness—it was a unique lens through which I could help others. I made it my purpose to create a world where my children would have access to the resources I never did, and where people like me wouldn't have to fight so hard just to be understood.

My Work

​

Individual Coaching Practice

Through Creating Order From Chaos, I work with neurodivergent individuals using a values-and-strengths-based approach that doesn't ignore weaknesses but reframes them as opportunities for delegation, mitigation, or elimination. This approach comes directly from my project management background—starting with a thorough assessment of values, strengths, resources, constraints, and challenges, then building systems that leverage strengths while working around limitations.

 

I work with clients on a scale based on where they are in their journey, from those who've just received a diagnosis and are asking "what's next?" to those who have solid systems working and need support for optimization and handling complex situations. My sweet spot is helping people who are ready to build or refine their systems but need guidance on how to make those systems work with their brains, not against them.

 

Parent Coaching and Family Support

I provide specialized parent coaching for families navigating neurodivergence through my partnership with ScienceWorks Behavioral Healthcare and my private practice. This includes one-on-one parent coaching, family systems work, and group programs like my 10-week Neurodivergent Parent Playbook Course designed for parents in crisis with children who have developmental differences.

 

I run the ADHD Parent Support Group on Facebook, which has grown to over 430,000 members, providing evidence-based information, practical strategies, and peer support for parents. I also manage a private version with about 30,000 members for more focused discussions. I facilitate monthly support calls for both groups and maintain strict standards against misinformation—I don't put up with dangerous advice, particularly around unregulated substances for children. These parents are looking for real help, not snake oil.

 

My parent coaching focuses on understanding that neurodivergent brains don't respond to traditional consequence-based approaches, that executive function deficits create cascading challenges across life domains, and that parent capacity and emotional regulation are more predictive of success than child-focused techniques alone. I help parents build environmental modifications and systems that work with their children's neurodivergence rather than fighting against it.

 

Organizational Leadership Roles

As Operations Director for the Men's ADHD Support Group, I oversee the nonprofit's operations supporting men with ADHD, autism, and related neurodivergent conditions. What started as a Facebook group in 2019 became a registered nonprofit in 2022, and we now serve over 27,000 members through weekly support calls, resources, and community building.

 

I serve on the board of directors for Dueling Minds, a nonprofit focused on the AuDHD community, helping shape programs and support for people navigating the intersection of ADHD and autism.

 

Through my partnership with ScienceWorks Behavioral Healthcare as their Executive Function and Parenting Coach, I help build integrated coaching programs, group cohorts, and parent training that pair with therapy, bridging the gap between clinical treatment and practical skill-building.

 

As Marketing Lead for the International Conference on ADHD, I work with CHADD, ADDA, and ACO every year, translating cutting-edge research into accessible marketing while staying current on the latest findings. This role gives me direct access to researchers and scientists, and I've learned to own what I know while staying confident about saying "I don't know" when something's outside my expertise.

 

Training and Public Speaking

I provide training and public speaking for medical professionals, healthcare organizations, corporations, and educational institutions on neurodivergent support and understanding. Through workshops, conferences, and organizational training programs, I help professionals recognize that standard approaches often don't work for neurodivergent individuals.

 

A core part of my training focuses on helping professionals understand fundamental differences in how neurodivergent brains process information. For instance, neurotypical people see time as past, present, future, while we see time as nonlinear—this concept alone is consistently an eye-opener for professionals who've never considered how time blindness affects treatment compliance, workplace productivity, and communication.

 

In healthcare settings, I teach teams to recognize signs of ADHD and autism in their patients, even when those conditions aren't the primary reason for treatment. For corporate environments, I focus on practical accommodations and support strategies that benefit neurodivergent employees while improving overall workplace culture. I help companies understand that neurodivergent support isn't about lowering standards—it's about creating systems that allow people to use their strengths effectively while working around their challenges.

 

Whether I'm training a medical team, speaking at a conference, working with a corporation on accommodation strategies, or collaborating with an educational institution, my focus is always on practical, evidence-based strategies that help professionals move beyond assumptions and develop more effective, compassionate approaches to neurodivergent support.

​

Moving Forward

My mission is rooted in personal experience: breaking cycles of misunderstanding and helping people build lives that align with who they are. I'm not trying to fix anyone, including myself. I'm helping people build systems that work with their brains, not against them.

 

Through Creating Order From Chaos and my work across multiple nonprofit organizations, I keep community at the heart of everything I do. Empowering neurodivergent individuals and supporting their families isn't just my profession—it's my purpose.
