MY EXPERTISE IS IN: Helping gifted and otherwise neurodivergent people move toward connection, liberation, and full expression. Specialized Neurodiversity-affirming Counseling, Coaching, and Creativity for Gifted & Multi-Exceptional/Neurocomplex humans. You’re intense, complex, sensitive, and searching. Multitalented, creative, highly perceptive. Asynchronous, twice exceptional, superstimulated. Neurodivergent. Existential in your sensibilities. You’re an outlier, and I am someone who understands that conventional norms were normed by the normal. I’m a counselor, coach, & creative who works entirely with gifted adolescents and adults. Your neurodivergences are welcome and celebrated – that includes giftedness plus your other exceptionalities and intersectionalities. Your neurotype is a part of a vast scattergraph of ways of being a person. Like its broader paradigm of biodiversity, neurodiversity is a naturally occurring way that nature expresses itself. This ecological, existential perspective is where I live. Learning your neurotype, its needs, the adaptations that have and haven’t worked are essential steps toward self-understanding, self-awareness, self-compassion, self-advocacy, and your fullest expression. Neurodiversity is the reality of the species. I am a facilitator, mentor, communicator, translator, and among the leaders ushering the neurodiversity paradigm into the mainstream. North Carolina, South Carolina, and Connecticut residents can access licensed counseling services. Individual and Group Coaching are available worldwide. Beginning sometime in 2026, I will be able to provide counseling services to clients in up to thirty-eight states.
