Services

College admissions is complex; I believe that choosing a college admissions counselor and a college counseling service shouldn’t be. My goal is to help your child reflect and grow, and successfully achieve their college goals, while I reduce stress for your family.

Every family’s needs are different. Some students thrive with full partnership and collaboration, while others simply need a strategic meeting to get on the right track. Below is a brief overview of my curriculum and services, from comprehensive counseling to one-time strategy sessions, with a small-group option available through my College Compass Program.

During our free introductory call, I’ll begin getting to know your student and we’ll talk through their goals and timeline so you can choose the option that fits best.

Schedule Our Introductory Call

  • I look forward to connecting with you. This is an opportunity for you to ask me questions about my work as a college admissions counselor, and for me to learn more about your child, before you decide whether I am the right fit for your family.

  • We’ll cover lots of ground in this meeting. From a timely review of the admissions process and current trends, to a deep analysis of your child’s profile, you’ll leave this meeting feeling empowered and informed.

  • Please reach out now to learn more about this upcoming program for the Class of 2027!

  • Always tailored to the needs of each student, my package offers unlimited and comprehensive support. For one fee, we can start working together at any time — whether in February of freshman year or September of senior year. It is your choice.

    We will work together on all aspects of the college admissions process, personalized for each student, but most notably:

    • Self-reflection through questionnaires & interest and aptitude tests

    • Academic and curriculum planning

    • Standardized test planning (ACT, SAT, AP exams)

    • Extracurricular activities and summer planning

    • Teacher and counselor recommendation letter guidance

    • Resume assistance

    • Tips on expressing demonstrated interest and planning on-campus and virtual visits

    • College research and list development including financial aid (need-based and merit-based) and college acceptance rate considerations

    • Application timeline-related strategies (Colleges with Rolling Admissions, Colleges with Early Action Admissions, Colleges with Early Decision Admissions, Colleges with Regular Decision Admissions)

    • College application guidance and assistance (Common App, Coalition App, UC App, ApplyTexas)

    • Interview prep

    • Deferral and waitlist considerations

How will we meet and what’s included in the comprehensive fee?

We will meet regularly - via Zoom - and you and your child will have unlimited access to my guidance and support throughout the college application process by video, phone and emails, regardless of whether you are in my backyard (in Bethesda, MD, immediately outside Washington, DC) or in another time zone. 

I understand the demands of high school, and I am flexible and accommodating in my scheduling. 

Additionally, access to all online programs we will use together (for example, College Kickstart) are included in my package price.
