How it Works

I will help you build a customized action plan aligned with your college goals..

I offer several college counseling packages designed to fit your family’s needs.

Many students begin planning at the end of sophomore year, but support can start at any stage.

All meetings and workshops are provided online via Zoom.

Getting Started:

 

1. Complimentary Discovery Meeting

You can email me or schedule a complimentary 20-minute Zoom consultation to discuss where you are in the process of applying for colleges. I’ll learn more about your goals, share my college counseling packages, and explain how I can best support you. My email and scheduling link are here.


2. Let’s Find the Right Fit

My college advising packages offer you flexibility, value and continuity.

The Gold Package is best for students who want comprehensive application and essay support, with more hours and close, ongoing guidance.

The Blue Package is best for students who need fewer hours, and are prepared to complete tasks independently or with parental support.

Students may also choose the Senior Start Package, a flexible 5-hour option paid in advance of the first session.

Contact me for current pricing.


3. Next Steps and Enrollment

Once you decide to move forward, select the package that best fits your needs and timeline. I will then outline next steps and create a customized action plan tailored to your goals.

Package Descriptions

My comprehensive college advising packages are designed to give you options, value, and consistent support every step of the way.

Gold Package

Up to 30 hours of personalized support. Ideal for students who want in-depth guidance throughout the college application process, including one-on-one meetings, application strategy, essay brainstorming and editing, high school resume development, mock admission interviews, and help exploring majors and career paths. This package provides ongoing, individualized support from building a balanced college list to submitting polished applications with confidence.

Blue Package

Up to 20 hours of personalized support. Ideal for students who need targeted guidance with the college search, applications, and essays, but are comfortable completing tasks independently. This package is a great fit for students applying to a smaller number of colleges (i.e. California public universities only), and who want expert support at key points in the process while maintaining a more independent approach overall.

5-Hour Senior Start Package

Five hours of targeted college advising for students who need focused support at the start of senior year. Hours can be used in specific areas such as college list building, application planning, essay brainstorming, limited essay editing, or timeline and strategy development. Best for students who want flexible, high-impact guidance without ongoing support. Limited availability.

“I don't know where I'd be in my college process without you... probably quite lost and stressed for most of the year. You helped me improve my personal writing skills not just for college essays, but in general. It was also really nice to have a supportive adult who genuinely believed that everything would work out and trusted me to get things done. I cannot stress enough how much I've appreciated your help in the last year, and it was a pleasure to work with you.”
