I work with clients aged 10 to 65, including those who are gifted or high-performing, but I welcome anyone who wants to make meaningful changes in their life. Many people (young and old) face issues that are too difficult to overcome alone. These challenges can feel like unhappiness, like something is wrong, or like the path you are on is no longer the right one. The difficulties can be at work, school, in your personal life or in your relationships. Sometimes the issues seem to be internal or in relate to general emotional well-being. Gifted people can face unique challenges that can easily go unrecognized and unaddressed. Gifted and high performing individuals often struggle alone and feel like they should know how to manage the feelings or situations that are that are causing misery. My goal is to offer you the tools and techniques you need to feel empowered, in control, and ready to take on whatever comes your way.
