Location of Practice
Bloomington/Edina, MN
Specialties
I help kids, parents, and adults navigate giftedness with empathy, insight, and clarity. My style blends candor with warmth, insight with empathy, and humor with compassion. I enjoy quick-witted conversations, existential ponderings, and geeking out over just about anything. I believe that effective therapy involves experiential (body) and the cognitive (mind). I’m focused on anxiety, depression, kids who are bored out of their minds, autism, life changes, discovering you’re gifted, and identity exploration. My practice affirms non-binary and LGBTQ+ people and the profound impacts of intergenerational racial trauma.

One-on-one tutoring especially for learners with spatial strengths. This includes spatial learners, dyslexic learners, ADHD learners (time, materials, and task management), and ASD learners. As a classroom teacher for the highly and profoundly gifted for 10 years, my specialty most recently has become as a cognitive coach. I have worked with students from 1st grade to 12th grade to learn how to manage their brain; to get them back on track in school. I support kids as they learn how to find their internal power.
