Support for gifted and twice-exceptional kids, teens, and families in Minnesota

As a therapist, I collaborate with gifted and twice-exceptional children, teens, and families to understand their strengths and challenges and to nurture their resilience, connection, and well-being.

As a consultant, speaker, and trainer, I help parents, educators, and other providers support gifted and twice-exceptional kids in new ways.

As a researcher and writer, I've explored giftedness, twice-exceptionality, assessment, intelligence, and the role of motivation and emotion in education.

If you're a current client, you can access your secure portal here.

My practice is full and I am not accepting new clients at this time.

Please note that I am only licensed to work with clients in Minnesota, and that all of my services are provided virtually. All services are billed to clients at the time of service; you can see my fees here. I do not work directly with insurance companies.

If you live outside of Minnesota and would like to work with me, or if you live in Minnesota and would like to access support soon, you may be interested in my coaching work through The Gifted Learning Lab. Please note that coaching is not therapy and is not a licensed activity.
