About Victoria

I have spent nearly two decades in classrooms, IEP meetings, therapy rooms, and Minecraft worlds, working with neurodivergent kids, teens, and adults who needed someone to meet them where they actually are, not where the system expected them to be.

I started my career as a Special Education Teacher. I went on to earn my master’s degree in art therapy because I believed then, as I do now, that the most effective work happens when learning feels like something other than work. Over the years I have held certifications as an ADHD Clinical Services Provider and Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist, not because I needed more letters after my name, but because these kids and families deserve someone who understands their neurology, not just their behavior.

I have worked with kids who were getting sent home every week. Kids who knew all the right answers in a one on one session and fell apart the moment they were back in a group. Kids whose parents had tried everything and were running out of hope. And I kept noticing the same gap, the skills were being taught in the wrong environment. Quiet rooms do not prepare kids for loud ones.

That is what led me to build the Minecraft Social Development Group. And later, Neurodivergent Skills Lab.
