I am a therapist who "gets" giftedness:
I have worked as a therapist with gifted clients and families for more than 10 years.
I have specialized training to meet the unique counseling and therapy needs of gifted, talented, and highly creative clients.
Professional resources include: CAG, NAGC, SENG, and seminars with Dr. James Webb, Founder of SENG; Jerald Grobman, M.D.; Nadia Webb, Ph.D.; Linda Silverman, Ph. D.; Susan Daniels, Ph.D..
I make presentations to parents and schools about the unique social-emotional needs and risks of gifted children.
As an educator, in past years, I designed and coordinated the program for gifted students in a K-8 school district. Teachers came from other parts of California to observe my classroom programs with differentiated instruction.
I have lived with gifted family members for 25 years.
