Gifted kids have special needs. Here are some of the things that Talented and Gifted children have told us they need help with. They need to:
“...get my teachers to listen to me about being bored.”
“...not get so stressed out about every thing.”
“...find out how to get out of doing busy-work.”
“...know what to do when I get teased for being smart.”
“...convince my mom that I don’t always have to get A+ .”
“...know how to get out of work I miss because of T & G class.”
“...deal with frustration when I already know the subject.”
“...know what to tell my parents when I bomb a test.”
“...know how to get along better with kids who aren’t T & G.”
“...quit acting dumb to get other kids to like me.”
“...not feel embarrassed when kids say, ‘What’s Target Class?’”
“...know how to get along like a regular person.”
“...know what to say when I make a mistake.”

Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I find that many parents never expected their parenting journey to be so hard. Many parents I work with express feeling lost, lonely, angry, and overwhelmed. Often times the parents I work with already know so many parenting skills; however, they are stuck in a shame spiral because in moments of stress they were unable to access these skills. My passion is helping parents notice what is being triggered in their attachment relationships with their children, noticing if there is a connection to their own attachment relationships in the past, and healing these wounds so that the parent can step into the dynamic with their child fully present and completely confident.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Parenting can be so hard at times and so different from what we expect it to be. Challenges we never saw coming might make us feel helpless, inadequate or ashamed. I have nearly 20 years of experience working with parents and guardians who are struggling with a number of issues including supporting children with special needs, depression and self-harm, disordered eating, anxiety, trauma, bullying, social isolation, mental health diagnoses, problems at school and addictions.
