About Toni

Why I Coach

I became a coach because I know first-hand how hard it is to navigate the world when your brain is wired differently. But through perseverance and purpose, I learned how to redirect my experiences and create a healthy and successful reality.

Now, I’m dedicated to helping others – YOU? – successfully navigate challenging mental and behavioral health journeys and struggles as a neurodivergent individual.
