Building a community of presence, care, and liberation for neurodivergent people

I explore what it means to be there for one another in a fragmented world—alongside neurodivergent people navigating lives in systems not built for us.

I work where growth and grace meet, attuned to the trauma, grief, and hope we carry in our bodies.

I read, think, write, and learn about what community-based care can look like when it grows from lived experience of difference, displacement, and the search for home.

Ways to connect

Let's Talk

Hi, I’m Craig.

I work with people trying to hold what feels unbearable—grief, burnout, moral crisis, the slow unraveling of what once made sense.

For 25 years, I've been a coach, university professor, and companion to people navigating the edges of meaning and belonging. Now I work with leaders, caregivers, and neurodivergent adults who are exhausted, dislocated, or searching for something they can't quite name.

I believe that communication—especially when everything feels like it's falling apart—is a loving struggle at the edges of what we can’t yet see. It's messy and hard, but it's also where we find each other. Where care becomes possible. Where we discover we're not as alone as we thought.

My work is slow and attentive. I'm interested in what emerges when we stop trying to “fix” things and start paying attention to what's actually happening—in our hearts, our bodies, our relationships, our communities, our sense of call.

If you're holding something heavy and need someone to sit with you in it, I'm here.
