College Counseling

Where do you want to go to college?  With nearly 6,000 schools across the United States, and over 1,000 of those accepting the Common Application, how do you decide?  My job is to get to know you, understand your needs and help build a plan for success - in college and beyond. 

Services include:

• Strategic planning
• College list-making
• Financial aid support
• Resume writing & activity list-making
• Interview preparation

International Counseling

As someone who has worked with international students for decades, I understand how meaningful it is for families to have their children study in the United States. International applications are at an all-time high and navigating the complex process can be overwhelming for both students and their parents.

Services include:

• Country-specific application & process flows
• Scholarship & financial aid education
• English proficiency test guidance
• Student engagement for college success
• Admissions interview preparation
  

Career Coaching

Landing that first job or internship can be confusing.  Try not to worry. I can help you navigate the entire process, from figuring out where to start to feeling confident about your applications.  We'll explore your interests, craft strong applications, and prepare you to shine in interviews.

Services include:

• Administering vocational surveys
• Self-discovery process
• Winning resumes and cover letters
• Interview preparation
• Job search support

Appeal Letters

An important part of the process is to have a plan if you get deferred, waitlisted or don’t get enough merit or financial aid to meet your needs. I work with you to create appeal letters, determine where to highlight new strengths or changes in circumstances, and guide you through the best communication process with each college or university.

Student Workshops

As a college counselor, I am committed to providing the resources and guidance needed by all of my clients to navigate this exciting yet often daunting transition. Beyond the standard college application process, my practice offers a range of specialized workshops and support services to address the unique challenges you may face. Ultimately, my goal is for you to head off to college feeling confident and prepared for the adventure ahead.

Workshops include:

• "Let’s get together" group for anxious students
• "College Prep" boot camp (packing, planning, and organizational strategies)
• Surviving homesickness- "You've got this!" 
  

Parent Workshops

My decades of experience working with families of all types has taught me that there is no “one size fits all” approach to parenting nor is there a “cookie-cutter” approach to helping our children. Every student deserves to feel supported throughout the process, and sometimes parents need support to navigate these decisions. This process can be just as much about guiding parents as it is about supporting students. 

Workshops include:

• Summer transition for neurodiverse students
• Benefits of gap year programs for your child
• “Let’s get together” group for anxious parents 
• “How to College” -prepping for college
