Our Journey Begins Here.
The path to independence is paved with challenges, but it's those challenges that shape us into stronger, more resilient individuals.
Welcome to Pathways to Independence!
Hi, I'm Mary, and I'm here to support you and your family on your journey. With years of experience, I offer personalized guidance to help you understand, support, and care for family members with neurodivergencies — or with tackling the unique challenges of navigating life as a neurodivergent adult.
I specialize in providing services for a variety of conditions, including but not limited to:
- ADHD
- Autism Spectrum
- Asperger's Syndrome
- Anxiety
- Sensory Processing Disorder
- Dysgraphia
- Communication Disorders
- Dyscalculia
- Dyslexia
- Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)
- Developmental Dyspraxia and Motor Disorders (DDMD)
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
- Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
- Spina Bifida
- Cerebral Palsy
If your needs aren’t listed, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I can either assist you directly or help connect you with someone who can.
Additionally, I offer support for veterans to navigate systems and overcome post-service barriers. I can help if you are dealing with conditions such as PTSD and other disabilities. If you have any questions about your unique situation, feel free to contact me — I’m here to help.
About Mary
I know firsthand how isolating and overwhelming it can feel to care for a family member with unique social and educational needs.
With over 38 years of experience supporting families navigating neurodivergence and other atypical challenges — and as a mother of children who needed educational supports targeted to their individual needs — I’ve walked this journey both personally and professionally. My mission is to empower neurodivergent individuals to gain the skills they need to thrive, not only in childhood but throughout every stage of life.
I’d love to hear more about the unique challenges your family is facing. If you’d like to discuss your family’s needs and explore how I can support you, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
