What I Provide

Many independent college counselors focus on volume—serving as many students as possible. I offer something different: highly personalized, student-centered guidance that’s rooted in true counseling, not sales.

I provide a boutique experience with an à la carte menu of services (see the Contact Me page), and limit my full-time roster to just five juniors and five seniors each year. This ensures top-priority access, including on-call support when needed. When space allows, I also assist additional students on a flexible, as-needed basis—though without the same level of availability unless under contract.

Services are billed hourly, not by package. After a free consultation, a modest retainer secures ongoing availability. This structure allows families to choose the level of support that fits their specific needs and budget—without overcommitting.

Services include:

• High school/Honors/AP course selection

• College research & list building

• Essay brainstorming & editing

• Interview prep & campus visit tips

• Resume, activities & summer planning

• Staying on task & meeting deadlines

• Recommendation strategy & support

• Waitlist letters (LOCI)

• Financial aid appeal guidance

Also available for 9th & 10th graders: early advising on courses, extracurriculars, and exploring majors.

Let’s reduce the stress—and move forward with clarity and confidence.
