Not sure what level of support makes sense right now?
The college process can feel overwhelming, even for organized students. Between academics, activities and applications, families often wonder where to begin. I help students turn uncertainty into a clear, confident plan that supports readiness for high school, college and beyond.
As a certified school counselor and independent educational consultant, I guide students through every stage — from strengthening academic and executive function skills to organizing the college search, essays and final decisions. Families gain structure, clarity and reassurance at each step.

Each program is customized to match the student’s goals and learning style. With the right structure, support and tools, students grow in confidence, independence and motivation — laying the foundation for success in high school, throughout the college process and during the transition to college life.
I invite you to schedule a free consultation to discuss your student’s needs, goals and challenges. Together we will build a clear, organized plan that supports their success in high school, throughout the college process and during the transition to college.
Choosing the right level of support starts with a conversation.
