My Story
Author of 5 Levels of Gifted: School Issues & Educational Options, I’ve loved seeing clients for more than 20 years, and I am now focusing on sharing what I’ve learned through more writing. I can be reached at [email protected] now as my old email is no longer available. I continue to write and publicly speak on the topics of high intelligence, social and emotional needs of children and adults, parenting, and that existential question oft-asked by the gifted: "Who am I and how do I make the most of my gifts?" I also enjoy speaking and writing about gifted adults.
