Hi, I’m Julie. I’m a neurodivergent clinical psychologist, a veteran, and a mom of 2 neurodivergent boys. Raising my kids has been like looking in a mirror. It led me to explore my own neurodivergence, initially through a formal ADHD assessment and, more recently, through self-identification of autism.
My approach to my work (and life in general) is strengths-based, collaborative, and curious through a neuro-affirming and feminist lens. I'm honored to provide assessments that help clients better understand themselves, increase self-compassion, and advocate for their needs.
I'm so proud of NeuroSpark and the space we've created. I'm dedicated to supporting this community. Your story matters and deserves to be heard. It’s an honor to join you.

Hey, I’m Dani. At my core, I am an advocate and ally to all people who exist outside of the norm. As a neurodivergent woman raised by a neurodivergent mother, working with this community isn’t just a niche for me; it’s my life. My multiple disabilities and intersectionalities unquestionably shape who I am and how I treat people.
I’ve never met a neurodivergent person who didn’t amaze me in some way. They add light to my life, they help me see things in new ways and they help me feel like it’s okay to be me. I feel very lucky to have been working with this community for over 8 years, because I get to experience this magic every day. It is a privilege to have found my tribe. Can’t imagine being in any other space.

Licensed Psychologist
(she/her/hers)
Hi, I’m Autumn. I’m a licensed psychologist living in Florida. Like many, I didn’t have a name for my neurodivergence or even fully identify it until I was an adult. However, I found myself consistently drawn to learning about and advocating for the neurodiversity movement. I often felt most understood by peers and supervisors with similarly functioning brains. With time and support, I learned how to tap into my strengths and built a path towards success that prioritized my needs.
Living in our neurotypical society can feel isolating and frustrating at times, but I think having a better understanding of ourselves allows us to connect with other neurodivergent individuals and can be the first step towards hope. No matter where you are in this process, I really enjoy being a part of it. Being a safe space for others to explore their differences so they can tap into their strengths and build their own path is such an incredible honor, and I don’t take it lightly. My approach as a clinician very much mirrors who I am in my personal life, where I value authentic connections, genuineness, and humor.
Outside of work, I spend my time crocheting, reading, sewing, writing fiction, painting, or caring for my plants. I often find myself hopping around from hobby to hobby and have found I am happiest when I’m setting aside time for at least one of them every day.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker
(she/her/hers)
Hi, I’m Vanessa! I’m a licensed independent clinical social worker living in Maryland. I am originally from Costa Rica but grew up in Providence, RI since age four. I am also the mother of a neurodivergent child and it was through their diagnostic process that I sought my own assessment and was diagnosed.
I started my career working in community mental health, where I realized that regardless of the issue clients were coming in with, they often had trauma in their background. Therefore, I am passionate about healing client’s trauma, understanding the impact that trauma has on relationships, and helping the most distressed couples develop a deeper connection. Since there are high levels of trauma in the neurodivergent population and neurodivergence can result in communication differences, it seems a natural fit for me to extend my career interests to this community.
I look forward to hearing your story and learning more about what makes you unique! My hope is that clients leave our sessions feeling heard, valued, with more insight into themselves, and empowered to achieve their life’s dreams.
In my free time I enjoy the arts in all forms with my family.

Hi, I’m Bree. I’m a licensed clinical psychologist based in Los Angeles, CA. I identify as queer and neurodivergent. I center and enjoy working with people whose identities are at the margins of multiple intersections in my practice. I have had the privilege of working with neurodivergent individuals for a number of years and am committed to continuing to support this community.
My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, supportive, empathic, and is rooted in my lived experience. My practice is person-centered, strengths-based and draws from relational, Intersectional, and social justice frameworks.
I value healthy life-work balance and to that end I regularly engage in creative practices, meditation, movement, as well as spending time with loved ones and my community.

Therapist
(they/he)
Hey there, I’m Lex. I'm a licensed clinical social worker and trauma therapist based in New York City. I’m queer, transgender, chronically ill, and autistic. I specialize in working with folks with stigmatized behaviors and identities, or who are otherwise mistreated and ignored in traditional mental health settings.
If you're learning to safely unmask your neurodivergent self, exploring your gender identity or sexuality, examining your substance use, or navigating non-traditional relationship structures like ethical non monogamy, polyamory, BDSM, or queerplatonic dynamics, I'd love to work with you!
My therapeutic approach is, above all else, strengths-based and person-centered. You are the expert in your own experience and what you need. You can expect our first few sessions to focus on: 1) clarifying what you'd like to get out of therapy; 2) mapping out your strengths, ways of coping, and support system, and; 3) identifying what you need to confidently move forward in treatment. How we achieve these objectives together is up to you – I enjoy using art projects, meditation, body-work, and color coded check lists.
My special interests include HIV/AIDS activism, plants, animals, slime ASMR, and many types of art.

Accommodations Consultant/Career Coach
(she/they)
Hey NeuroKin, I’m Jennifer Alumbaugh, MS (she/they) and I’m a Accomodations Consultant and Career Coach equipping neurodivergent individuals with tools for advocacy, accommodations, and finding a career fit that works for your brain and body. I am a queer, fat, gender expansive, late-identified (in my 40s!) Autistic-ADHDer with dynamic disabilities committed to advancing inclusion, belonging, and liberation through a neurodivergent-affirming and somatic abolitionist lens. I spent 15 years practicing as a licensed complex systems trauma therapist before retiring in 2022 and moving fully into consulting and coaching.
In addition to working 1:1 with individuals, I’m also a NeuroInclusion Accessibility Consultant, Speaker, and Trainer working with businesses and organizations to build more accessible and neuroinclusive workplaces.
I love talking about/wondering about concepts just beyond my complete understanding; I collect unique ceramic mugs from thrift stores (pre-pandemic); blue hues are my favorite; and doing dishes is my nemesis. To recharge: singing to and sharing silly jokes with my hilarious dog Akesa, texting memes to friends, quoting/watching Schitt’s Creek, taking naps, and drawing new sticker designs for my shop.

Therapist
(she/her/hers)
Hi, I’m Laurel! I am a late-in-life diagnosed AuDHD therapist. My very real difficulties in life were often denied because I received good grades and appeared to be so functional. But it was at the expense of my calm, well-being, and even physical health. I found my place and my spark in dancing Argentine Tango and singing opera! I am committed to helping others find what works for them too. My passion is helping people to feel safe enough to grow and change in the ways they choose. I also understand the unique challenges of being neurodivergent and in recovery.
I am EMDR certified and take a neuroscience approach to working 1:1 with neurodivergent adults to overcome past traumas, as well as the trauma of living authentically in a neurotypical-catering world.

Neurodiversity-Affirming Coach
(She/they)
Hi, my name is Cat, and I am a Licensed Social Worker and coach currently living in Indiana. As someone who has spent the majority of their life feeling like there is something "wrong" with them, discovering that I am autistic and ADHD has not only been a relief but also an incredible journey of self-exploration and self-love. My life experience has spurred my passion for uplifting neurodivergent individuals, and I hope to make a difference in the lives of those who feel misunderstood, burnt out, and invalidated.
I believe that neurodivergent people have a beautiful and crucial role in society and that accepting and accommodating who we naturally are can be an incredibly freeing and healing experience. I would be honored to play a small role in your journey towards uncovering your neurodivergent identity! In my free time, I enjoy writing, reading, and hanging out with my girlfriend and dog. I enjoy writing articles about my autistic experience, and I am slowly working on writing a book.
