Many families begin in junior year, when college planning becomes more concrete and timelines start to matter. That said, it’s never too early to start thinking about fit and direction, and it’s never too late to get support. Some students come for help with final applications or essays — others want guidance well before that. We can begin wherever your student is in the process.
Simply reach out through the contact page or email to schedule an initial conversation. We’ll talk about your student, your goals, and what kind of support would be most helpful.
I primarily work with high school students, most often juniors and seniors. That said, I'm also happy to work with younger students who want early guidance on course planning, activities, or long-term preparation.
Meeting frequency depends on the selected package and the student’s needs. Some students benefit from regular standing meetings, while others prefer to schedule sessions as specific milestones come up. We decide together what level of structure makes the most sense.
Both. Students are at the center of the process, but parents are an important part of planning and decision-making. I make sure everyone stays informed and comfortable, while also helping students take ownership of their applications.
All meetings are held virtually on Zoom, which allows for flexible scheduling and makes it easy for students and families to meet from anywhere.

No one can guarantee admission, and ethical college counseling does not make those promises. What I do provide is thoughtful strategy, careful planning, and strong guidance so students maximize their chances and present the most compelling applications possible.
Yes. I help families understand costs, compare financial aid offers, and identify colleges that may offer merit scholarships. I also explain how to research what a college is likely to cost before applying.
Families and students are welcome to reach out with questions as they come up. I respond promptly and make sure no one feels stuck or unsure about what to do next.
School counselors do incredibly important work, often supporting hundreds of students at once. Private counseling allows for more time, more individualized attention, and more in-depth planning. It gives families space to ask detailed questions and move through decisions at a comfortable pace.
Students should expect to spend time between sessions completing tasks, reflecting, researching, or drafting writing. The amount varies by stage of the process, but steady progress between meetings helps everything run smoothly.
I guide students through the writing process by helping them develop ideas, structure their essays, and refine their work. While I do help with revision, the goal is always for the student’s voice and perspective to remain their own.
That’s very common. Part of the process is helping students explore interests, think about academic direction, and choose colleges that offer flexibility to grow and change.
