The Long Room in the Old Library, Trinity College, Dublin.

Counseling can include…

  • When you have a choice of classes, what are colleges looking for? Have you considered opportunities outside of your high school program based on your interests?

  • What you do outside of school matters, but should come naturally from your interests and passions. Let’s consider what you do after school and on weekends.

  • There are thousands of schools of all different types and costs. There might be places you’ve never considered. I can help match you with a variety of schools to consider.

  • I’m certified in administering the Strong’s Interest Inventory, which can help connect your interests with career paths.

  • Some schools are now “test optional.” Should you take the SAT, or ACT, or both? The best strategy may depend on you, and we can work to figure this out.

  • How can you best present yourself in a college essay or on a resume? I’ve helped hundreds of students figure out how to approach different essay questions. I can help you present yourself well in a resume. I can also help you prepare for college interviews.

  • Need help navigating college applications and financial aid materials? Everyone does, and I’ve helped hundreds of families get this right.

…and these other areas too…

  • International Students

  • Athletes and NCAA Eligibility

  • Transfer Students

  • Learning Differences

  • Stressed? A certified therapy dog can attend and participate in counseling sessions too!
