Life Coach for Teens and Parents
Focusing on Twice Exceptional Teens and Young Adults
who i am
I am passionate about helping people reach their goals. For over forty years, my goal has been to help adolescents, adults, and families move from chaos and conflict to find joy and success in their own lives. Why? Because working with families and individuals to achieve their life goals is my goal in life! I find great satisfaction in supporting my clients through their tough times, in helping them think through issues, and to find connection and harmony.
“If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.”
What I Do
Individual and Group Coaching
Coaching helps people develop goals to reach success in their lives. First, we identify what’s holding you back - school and academic issues, lack of healthy communication, family issus. Twice Exceptional teens and young adults struggle with issues related to their disabilities, lack of acceptance and undestanding by their families and society. Once we understand all these, then we can develop plans, strategies, and skills to address those issues and move you forward.
I work 1:1 with tweens, teens and young adults and their parents. I offer group programs for parents of twice exceptional teens and young adults.
September, 2026, I’m launching new group programs for Young Adults looking for support to become independent, successful adults.
I also specialize in working with youth and young adults with Nonverbal Learning Disability and Autism Spectrum Disorder.

The Parenting Compass: Why Smart Teens Struggle
The Parenting Compass: Why Smart Teens Struggle grew out of my own family's journey and the privilege of walking alongside thousands of families raising twice-exceptional (2e) teens and young adults over the past four decades. This book is about what comes after the diagnosis—helping you understand your teen's unique strengths, recognize the skills they may need to develop, and confidently support their growth with practical, evidence-based strategies. My hope is that every chapter leaves you feeling encouraged, equipped, and reminded that lasting change happens when connection comes first, structure follows, and both work together to help your teen thrive.
