Raising Brilliance:
Parent Coaching & Consultations
Expert support for parents raising brilliant, emotionally complex, or twice-exceptional kids, teens, and young adult years.
I get it.
Parenting a gifted or emotionally intense child can feel like walking a path no one prepared you for.
You love your child deeply—but you may also feel exhausted, confused, or unsure how to support them.
As a psychologist, former adolescent and family therapist, and Head of School at a therapeutic program for gifted teens and young adults, I bring both clinical expertise and real-world wisdom to this work.
Whether you’re facing emotional regulation challenges, executive functioning struggles, identity exploration, or big decisions about school or mental health support—I’m here to help.
You may be navigating…
Emotional intensity or sensitivity
Giftedness, twice-exceptionality, or asynchronous development
School avoidance or underachievement
Motivation and direction
Identity, gender, or self-esteem issues
Addiction or serious mental health issues
College transition or failure to launch
Navigating therapy, coaching, or evaluation decisions

Parent coaching isn’t therapy.
It’s strategic, compassionate support to help you lead with clarity and confidence in the face of complex parenting dynamics.
Parenting Through the Hard Seasons
I work with parents navigating more intensive challenges—depression, anxiety, addiction, or behavioral struggles related to substances, gaming, food, or social media.
I also help you find additional resources or collaborate with other members of your child’s team when needed.
My approach focuses on:
Reducing reactivity and problem behaviors
Fostering resilience, empathy, and emotional strength in your child
Helping you feel like a grounded, effective parent again
My goal is simple: to support you in raising healthy, independent, emotionally strong young adults—and to make sure you don’t feel alone in the process.
A non-pathologizing, strengths-based approach—rooted in both heart and science.
This is not traditional therapy. It’s not advice from a parenting book.
It’s grounded support that honors the complexity of your child—and the beauty of your relationship.
I work from a strengths-based, non-judgmental lens that integrates psychology, giftedness, spiritual wisdom, and 20+ years of experience working with brilliant, sensitive kids (and the parents who love them).
HOW I COACH
My style of parent coaching is practical and positive, but I will gently challenge you if needed. Expect to learn clear, action-oriented techniques—based on research and my clinical experience—that you can use immediately.
What Parents Are Saying
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
Whether you’re looking for one-time guidance or ongoing coaching, I’m here to help.
