Services

I guide students through all of the steps required to identify, apply to, and enroll in a college that is a great fit.  I provide comprehensive support from start to finish with personalized care to meet the specific needs of each student and family. Every family’s needs will be different, so we’ll create an individualized calendar of structured meetings and informal check-ins that work for you. A typical program will include:

  • Introductory Family Meeting to identify goals and develop a plan

  • Student and counselor interview focused on student self-reflection and identification of guiding criteria for building the college list

  • Monthly or bi-monthly check-in meetings during the college research and list-building phase

  • Weekly or bi-weekly meetings during the late summer and early fall of senior year to work on applications and finalize plans

  • Meetings will take place on Zoom or in person at a mutually convenient public location.
