Therapy for Children, Teens, and Young Adults

 

Bright young people are often assumed to be doing fine because they perform well academically, appear mature for their age, or seem highly capable on the surface.

 

In reality, many gifted, twice-exceptional, and high-achieving children, teens, and young adults struggle in ways that are often misunderstood or overlooked.

 

Some experience anxiety, perfectionism, emotional intensity, social challenges, ADHD, learning differences, or difficulty finding the right educational environment.

 

Others feel disconnected from peers, overwhelmed by expectations, uncertain about their future, or frustrated by systems that don’t fully understand how they learn and experience the world.

 

Young adults may struggle with independence, college transitions, identity development, career uncertainty, relationships, or “failure to launch” concerns.

 

As both a therapist and parent of a profoundly gifted twice-exceptional child, I understand how complex these experiences can be for both young people and their families.

 

My goal is to help young clients better understand themselves, build resilience, strengthen relationships, and navigate challenges with greater confidence.
