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 if they 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 preschooler.  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 - neurodiversity-affirming parenting approaches, LGBTQIA+ identities, burnout, parental stress relief, sensory sensitivities, chronic health conditions, school issues of all types, 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 my work with parents.  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 - you just need different supports, strategies, and frameworks designed specifically for families like yours.

Want to work together?

You can get personalized support in my highly-interactive 8-week coaching program, Support Your Intense Gifted/2e Kid.  Parents in the program have called the experience "transformative" and a "huge mindset shift."  As part of the program, you'll learn the Less Conflict, More Confidence Parenting Framework and I'll help you adapt strategies to your unique kid and family.  If you're craving less stress at home and more confidence as a parent, I'd love to work together!
