Registered Clinical Counsellor
BC Certified Teacher
Mary is an award-winning counsellor, educator, author, and founder of The Neurodiversity Family Centre in Victoria, British Columbia.
She offers neurodiversity-affirming consulting, keynote presentations, and customized professional development workshops for educators, counsellors, workplaces, parents, and community organizations. She helps individuals and organizations rethink how they understand and support neurodivergent people by combining powerful perspective shifts, relatable real-world experiences, and practical strategies that audiences can immediately put into action.
Combining professional expertise with lived experience of ADHD, Mary helps people understand and support neurodivergent children, teens, and adults. Her approach honours individual strengths, respects autonomy, and focuses on adapting environments and support strategies rather than expecting people to hide or change who they are.
Topics include ADH(D), supporting neurodivergent students and employees, environmental adaptations, advocacy, parenting, and putting neurodiversity-affirming practices into action.
