about us

I knew my entire life that I was different. As a child and teen, I fumbled through life doing my best to fit in or at least not stand out. It was as though everyone else in the world was given this handbook to life and somehow I didn't get a copy. In high school, I worked with Autistic children and young adults at my school and at a local camp. It was there I was able to validate my experience; I was likely Autistic. At 19 years old, I officially received my Autism diagnosis. I was excited about all the doors that this official diagnosis would open. As I got to the end of my report, there were a few recommendations on accommodations but no list of services, therapies, or opportunities for me. I was devastated. After spending some time reflecting on my situation, I decided that if I wanted change in my community, then I better get to work. I finished my Bachelor's in Business and that same month began my Master's in Counseling and Rehabilitation. While in school, I opened a tutoring company for students with disabilities, served at a local disability non-profit in a variety of capacities, and began a local social group for Autistic adults After graduation, I obtained my associate license as a counselor in South Carolina and began counseling neurodivergent adults. My mission was clear: I was going to create a space where the needs of neurodivergent adults were prioritized. After all, Autism, ADHD, and other types of neurodivergence don't magically disappear at 18 or 21 years old. In 2025, my mission came to life as Carolina Neurodiversity Center. I created this center so that other neurodivergent adults will have access to the services that I so desperately needed as a newly diagnosed neurodivergent adult. My hope is that this center becomes a beacon of hope in South Carolina for neurodivergent adults and their families.
