Professional Summary

I help families who have gifted teens who are underachieving, over-irritating, or both! My products and various coaching packages are tailored to your values and your family; they focus on effective family communication skills, increasing self-respect and mutual respect, and restoring family enjoyment and fun. I especially LOVE working with families that have a child with ADD or ADHD. I invite you visit my website and take advantage of the many complimentary offerings. It is a privilege and an honor to be of service to parents and teens. (I work via phone - LOVE IT! - or in person and do email and texting as well)

Work Experience

2006 - Present
I was a middle school and high school teacher and school counselor for 25 years, specializing in learning strategies for ADD/ADHD and gifted kids, child development, parenting and family relationship support, and positive psychology. I have written 2 downloadable books for parents of tweens and teens (or those preparing for the inevitable!) and have another book/exercise-playbook in the works, Gifted with AD/HD: Insider Strategies to Increase Your Child's Happiness and Success. I am available to speak at community, home or corporate gatherings, on the radio, or on TV. I also write articles and blog posts on Parenting Gifted Teens, Supporting Your AD/HD Child, Setting Up Effective Rules and Consequences, Smoothing Out the Bumps in Split and Blended Families, and How to Talk to Your Teen so They'll WANT to Listen.
