From hosting free community mental health breakfasts to providing affordable board certifications for holistic healers, her activism is rooted in boots-on-the-ground action. She actively mitigates disparities in mental health care while challenging corporate organizations to move beyond performative diversity, guiding them to create genuinely accessible, neuro-inclusive environments.
