Hi, I’m Victoria,

and I’ve been working with neurodivergent individuals since 2007.

My experience across therapy, education, and program development has taught me something important. Talking things through can feel good, but understanding something isn’t always the same as knowing what to do with it.

I’ve seen how gathering information, trying something differently, and having those lightbulb moments can change the way someone understands themselves and what’s possible.

Sometimes it’s the moment when something finally clicks. Sometimes it’s discovering that a strategy doesn’t work the way you expected. Either way, we’ve learned something we can use.

My goal is to help you open the door to change.

My work with both adults and children focuses on understanding executive functioning and learning how to apply skills in everyday life. But how we get there looks a little different.

With kids, we’re creating opportunities to practice in the moment. Through Minecraft, they’re learning how to participate in relationships, navigate social situations, communicate, compromise, and use the skills they’ve been learning while those moments are actually happening.

With adults, we’re bringing experiences from everyday life into our work through data, homework, and reflection. We’re building perspective, learning and relearning skills, and experimenting with changes that help you navigate your day-to-day life, your relationships, and the responsibilities you’re managing.

The goal isn’t just to understand what works. It’s to understand why it works, recognize when something needs to change, and know how to start making those adjustments yourself.

My work doesn’t fit neatly into one box.

My background spans education, therapy, coaching, creative arts, and project management. Here’s the education, licenses, and certifications that have helped shape how I work.

my journey

Nearly two decades of experience across healthcare, therapy, education, and advocacy have shaped how I show up for you today.

  1. 2007

    Building a Clinical Foundation


    I began my clinical career at Nassau University Medical Center, working across inpatient psychiatric units for both children and adults, as well as the pediatric ICU, pediatric emergency room, and pediatric medical floors. I provided bedside therapy, group therapy, and individual therapy in fast-paced medical settings.

    While working in this teaching hospital, I participated in psychiatric grand rounds and morning rounds, collaborating closely with resident psychiatrists. This experience gave me early exposure to how psychiatric medications are selected, dosed, and integrated alongside therapeutic care, shaping my holistic understanding of mental health treatment.

    Expanding Into Education and Neurodivergent Support


    While continuing my work at the hospital, I took on a leadership role as a weekend program teacher supporting children on the autism spectrum. I led both younger and older classrooms, focusing on skill-building, behavioral support, and individualized learning approaches. This work taught me how important it is to adapt the way we teach, create opportunities to practice, and recognize that knowing a skill isn’t always the same as being able to use it. It also helped shape the programs I would eventually develop.

  3. 2013

    Advocacy and Systems-Level Work


    My career expanded into community advocacy through work with the City of Philadelphia. I helped improve housing access for pregnant women and mothers experiencing displacement, partnered with homelessness services to provide direct outreach in Kensington, and collaborated with court systems to increase access to treatment and reduce incarceration through supportive care pathways.

    Private Practice and Innovation


    After COVID, I shifted my primary focus to private practice, bringing together my background in therapy, education, and systems thinking. I began developing virtual programs and learning environments where neurodivergent individuals could build practical skills, experiment with different approaches, and apply what they were learning to everyday life.

  5. What’s Next


    I’m currently completing additional training toward providing ADHD evaluations for adults who feel that understanding whether ADHD is part of the picture may be the missing piece they’ve been looking for on their executive functioning journey.

    I’m also hoping to expand my group offerings, including a women’s group where women can come together to build skills, find support, and learn alongside one another.

    And I’d love to create more opportunities for adults to learn through play, including additional video game-based groups.
