Mary is an award-winning counsellor, author, and founder of The Neurodiversity Family Centre. She comes from an eclectic, neurospicy family—growing up with an AuADH(D) dad, navigating life as an ADH(D)er herself, and parenting her vivacious neurodivergent daughter.
Mary has a long history of front-line work, with over 14 years of experience as a school counsellor and with youth-at-risk for Victoria's Youth Empowerment Society. Recognized with the 2025 Practitioner Award from the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors, she continues to shape systems of support as a board member of the Institute of Neurodiversity (Canadian chapter) and as part of the Greater Victoria School District Accessibility Advisory Group. As a speaker and educator, she blends lived experience with professional expertise–with a bit of humour–in order to help families, schools, and workplaces implement neurodiversity-affirming practices that honour individual strengths and celebrate differences.
