MEET THE FOUNDER
Hey, I'm Alex,
founder of NCC
I’m a neurodivergent-affirming life coach with a background in speech therapy, and that lens still shapes how I support my clients. I started Neurodiverse City Connection (NCC) after noticing a pattern I couldn’t ignore — I kept meeting people who were thoughtful, self-aware, and trying so hard… but still completely exhausted.
​
Exhausted from masking. From being misunderstood. From forcing themselves to use strategies that were never built for their brain.
​
So I created something different.
​
NCC is a coaching practice for neurodivergent individuals looking for real, practical support with confidence, executive functioning, and everyday life. This is a space where you can better understand yourself, work with your brain, and build a life that actually feels sustainable — without feeling like you have to change who you are.
"It feels like she 'gets me.' She has offered feedback that has been critical in helping me make real progress on my personal goals."
— Chelsey S., NCC client

The Seed: Your Goal
We use a framework called The City Tree to show exactly how coaching works — from your first goal, through the real work, to something you have created that is now thriving.

Roots, Trunk, Branches: Learning & Growing
The real work happens here. Your coach gives you strategies and tools designed for your brain. You practice them. There will be hard moments — that is a normal part of growing anything.

The Beautiful Tree In The City: You're Thriving
You leave with real skills that belong to you. Every tree grows differenty — and that is exactly how it should be. Together, we allow your tree to thrive in a bustling city.
WHAT WE WORK ON
These are the specific areas we help with.
You do not need a diagnosis to work with us. If any of these match something you are dealing with, you are welcome here.
Social Confidence
Feeling more comfortable in conversations. Learning to communicate in ways that feel natural to you — not performing for others.
​Making friends/Dating
Finding people you actually connect with. Knowing how to start and keep friendships that feel real and safe.
Parenting Support
Navigating parenting with more confidence and less overwhelm. Understanding your child’s needs—and your own—and learning how to support and communicate with clarity and compassion.
Executive functioning
Building systems for planning, starting tasks, staying organized, and managing time — designed for how your brain actually works.
Unmasking
Understanding what masking is, why it is exhausting, and how to unmask in ways that feel safe and right for you specifically.
Life transitions
Moving through big changes — new jobs, leaving school, shifts in relationships — with more clarity and less overwhelm.
Everyone deserves a city where they belong.
Socializing takes a lot of energy. It often feels like work.
You have been told you are "too much" or "not enough."
Starting tasks, staying organized, or managing time is genuinely hard — not a character flaw.
You feel like other people have an instruction manual for life that you never received.
You have tried strategies that work for other people. They did not work for you.
Something has always felt different about the way your brain works — and you are ready to stop pretending otherwise.
You are not broken. You just haven't had support that was actually built for your brain.
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Real feedback from people we have worked with.
"I’m so glad that I found Alex. I’m comfortable talking and working with her, discussing different topics that meet and support my needs. She’s helpful, also encouraging with things I have needed help with. She is always great to talk to."
Mase B.
"I highly recommend coaching with Alex to any autistic adult. She’s encouraging, understanding, affirming and will help you achieve your goals. She understands people on a deeper level. I can really be my authentic self around her, which has been so important to embrace as an autistic adult that dosen't fit into the neurotypical or profound autism ‘categories’."
Nate P.
"Not only is Alex unbelievably wonderful and insightful - she is also filling a very important gap in life coaching that we spent years trying to find. She has great knowledge and empathy for things that may be unseen or overlooked in traditional, neurotypical coaching. With amazing ideas, targeted life-strategy and a heart of gold - Alex is helping to guide our kiddo through life's hurdles. We are so thankful for this program."
Kelly B.
"Alex is many things, easy-going, passionate, and really really funny. She has pushed me out of my comfort zone and has me doing things I would never done on my own. She’s down to earth, but also spirited. She is not only a coach, but a friend. She’s upfront in a refreshing way. She has been more impactful than therapy has ever been regarding social skills. I look forward to our sessions and truly enjoy our time together. I am so grateful to have met Alex and wish her all the best."
