Helping the Gifted and Twice-Exceptional to Thrive
Welcome to my website. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist living in Silicon Valley, and I specialize in helping gifted and twice-exceptional children, adults and families find ways to live satisfying and joyful lives. Learning to live with giftedness can take courage and effort, and sometimes a little support and guidance along the way can help.
