Although most people recognize intellectual abilities in gifted individuals, they are usually not aware of the emotional and behavioral characteristics that come along with being gifted. These characteristics can be challenging when they are not fully understood and integrated into a healthy acceptance of the self. Dr. Kress has presented and written articles on the emotional intensity and sensitivities that are typical for gifted individuals. She is also a liaison for the organization SENG (Supporting Emotional Needs of the Gifted). She works with gifted and profoundly gifted clients to help them understand their giftedness, modulate their emotional intensity, manage perfectionism, reduce feelings of isolation, manage over-thinking, and find greater self-acceptance and fulfillment.
