– NEURODIVERGENT SYSTEMS SPECIALIST –
Knowing what to do isn’t the same as being able to do it
Together, we’ll break down what’s happening → figure out what to do about it → learn how to respond when life doesn’t cooperate → follow through on what you want and need to do.
You’re Tired of Ghosting Yourself
The Sunday scaries set in early, and you find yourself scrolling. Reels leave you deciding that this is the week you meal prep. You scroll through recipes, make a grocery list, go to the store, and buy everything you need.
You get home, put the groceries away, and sit down on the couch for a minute.
Somehow, you never get back up to meal prep.
So you order takeout.
Monday morning, the alarm goes off. You stayed up too late, so you overslept. Now you’re frantically running around the house looking for the sunglasses you know you took off your head somewhere yesterday.
Why am I the person with eight pairs of sunglasses who can’t find any of them?
You get to work ten minutes late. But you’re put together. You’re friendly and positive. You work hard, usually above and beyond, so people tend to overlook those ten minutes.
Your boss gives you a task: call five people and confirm their attendance.
You turn it into an Excel sheet.
Another task comes in. You make that one elaborate than it needs to be, too.
By the end of the day, you have 15 tabs open and a pile of unfinished work. So you skip your evening plans and stay late. You feel guilty that it’s another day of unfinished tasks you should have been able to get done.
You realize you never got up from your computer today. You never ate lunch. At some point you thought about taking a break, but you were finally getting things done and what if you couldn’t get going again? The gym gets skipped, and your step count is low. The texts from your friends are still sitting unanswered.
Takeout again.
And then comes the guilt.
You were going to go to the gym, start the meal prep, text your friend back. But somehow, the evening got away from you.
You go to bed exhausted, thinking about everything you didn’t do. The day replays like a loop, keeping you awake, and Tuesday starts looking a lot like Monday.
By Friday, you still haven’t answered the text. Now responding has become its own thing.
Can I still respond? What do I say? Do I need to explain why it took me this long?
You look around the house. The groceries you bought for meal prep are still sitting untouched. The closet is disorganized. The chair in your bedroom has become a pile of clothes. Everywhere you look, there’s something you keep meaning to take care of.
Something has to change.
Why do I come home and immediately sit on the couch?
Why do I keep setting goals and then ghosting them?
Why can’t I just follow through on the things I say I will do?

It’s not about finding the perfect timer, reminder, or planner.
It’s about learning what’s happening, how to adjust & respond, and building systems that lead to follow through
Not every unfinished task, lost hour, missed plan, or overwhelmed moment is happening for the same reason. Working with a neurodivergent systems specialist, we look at the whole picture, collecting information about what’s happening and separating it out instead of treating everything as “my ADHD.”
You’ll get homework that helps us rework daily habits and responses. We’ll break down what isn’t working and use what we learn to build new systems. You’ll walk away understanding why those systems work for you and knowing how to adjust when things change.

Individual Systems Sessions
Every-other-week, 30-minute sessions focused on improving executive functioning and follow-through.
Instead of assuming everything is one thing (like ADHD), we’ll focus on figuring out what’s happening in the moments that feel like executive functioning disasters. Then we’ll use what we learn to reshape habits, daily structure, routines, and patterns around what’s actually going on.
This isn’t about finding the perfect timer or reminder. It’s about learning what’s happening, understanding what needs to change, and building systems you know how to adjust when life changes.

MEET Your Systems Specialist
Hey! I’m Victoria
As a former special education teacher and sit-on-the-couch-and-spill-your-guts therapist, I used to have a lot of conversations with people after the fact.
Tell me what happened. What could you have done differently?
Sometimes people genuinely didn’t understand what went wrong. Other times, they were way too hard on themselves. But at the end of the day, talking about it didn’t necessarily make everyday life feel any easier. The same executive functioning loops were still there, and every day could still feel like a crash and burn.
At some point, I realized I needed to change the scope of what I was doing. I needed to stop providing care based on insurance and use the knowledge I have to help individuals with the thing they actually walked through my door wanting help with.
So I brought together what I’d learned from 19 years of working with neurodivergent people as a special education teacher and therapist and put on my project management hat. I changed the way I worked so people left sessions understanding more about what was happening, with a collaborative plan and something concrete to work on between sessions.
I tell clients this all the time. Sometimes you set out with a goal and you need to stop and think through: What is in my capacity? How do I need to adjust the scope? What is possible for this iteration?
Because the goal can stay the same, but how you get there sometimes needs to adjust.
And, apparently, I’ve been doing some scope adjusting in my own life too.
A few years ago, I decided to stop waiting for Prince Charming and become a mom on my own. Now I’m single mom’in it on a wing and a prayer.
Before IVF, I would have said I was the woman who enjoyed a long run, crafted her way through the year, and was killin’ it in Guns and Buns.
In this iteration of me, I’m the messy-bun woman battling daycare germs, living on coffee, starting a new craft by the day (I haven’t finished one yet this year), and trying to set running goals for myself.
So pull up a seat, bring a snack, and enjoy your cup of coffee. And don’t worry about being too put together yourself. I’m right there with you.
where to next?
