The Gifted learning lab approach
A neurodiversity-affirming approach 🌈 🧠that works with your kid's brain to reduce family stress and boost your confidence
My resources and coaching combine...
PROFESSIONAL INSIGHT
15+ years as an educator, school consultant, assessment provider, researcher, therapist, and now parent coach specializing in gifted & twice-exceptional kids & teens. There are few gifted/2e experiences I haven't helped with before - even the ones that feel lonely or strange to you right now.
LIVED EXPERIENCE
I grew up as a highly gifted kid and recognized my own twice-exceptionality at age 39. I'm also raising an intense gifted/2e kindergartener. I draw from my own lived experience and that of other neurodivergent folks to appreciate the nuances of neurodivergent identity, needs, and preferences.
a passion for learning
I'm constantly learning about new topics to support gifted/2e kids and their families - queer and trans identities, burnout, parental stress relief, sensory sensitivities, chronic health conditions, school issues of all types, unschooling, and more. I learn from every family I work with and love adapting my approach to your unique situation.
humor & compassion
Parenting can be stressful, emotionally charged, and extremely demanding. Parents of gifted/2e kids often feel judged and misunderstood, so I bring deep compassion and a sense of humor to our work together. That's exactly what you deserve. And without those, we wouldn't learn much or have much fun!
There's absolutely nothing wrong with you or your child, even when things are tough - but you've been let down by standard parenting advice and standardized systems that go against your kid's natural strengths, preferences and needs.
You deserve supports, strategies, and frameworks designed specifically for families like yours - so you and your kid can do things in a new way, that actually feels good for both of you!
Want to work together?
In my highly-interactive 8-week coaching program, Support Your Intense Gifted/2e Kid, I help you get really clear about what makes life hard for your kid and your family, then you learn my Less Conflict, More Confidence Parenting Framework and strategies that transform daily battles, weekly meltdowns, and nightly worries into less conflict and more confidence.
Parents in the program have called the experience "transformative" and a "huge mindset shift."
Once they understand what gifted/2e kids need to thrive, they feel liberated to let go of standard parenting advice and build a home life that actually works well for their kid and for them.
If you're craving less stress at home and more confidence as a parent, I'd love to work together!
