Frequently Asked Questions

We offer educational consulting services to help students and families navigate the college and career process. This includes college admissions assistance, career counseling, and test preparation.

Our fees vary depending on the services requested. Please contact me for more information or visit the “Services” page. 

We begin with an initial consultation to discuss your goals and needs. From there, we create a customized plan for you and provide ongoing support throughout the college and career process.

It’s never too early - or too late - to start! I work with students as early as 9th grade, but most students begin in 10th or 11th grade.

Yes! I work with students all over the country via virtual sessions. I utilize Zoom, phone calls, texting, and emailing. I am local to New Jersey, specifically Essex and Union County. 

My approach is personalized, supportive, and student-centered. I meet students where they are and help them feel empowered throughout the process.

School counselors are incredible resources, but they often have large caseloads and limited time. I’m able to offer more individualized attention, flexible meeting times, and customized resources tailored just for you.

Not at all! I specialize in working with students pursuing all paths — including community college, transfer programs, vocational schools, and direct-to-workforce options.

Absolutely. I have experience working with students managing anxiety, ADHD, learning disabilities, and other unique needs. We’ll create a plan that honors your strengths and supports your success.

I offer a free 30-minute discovery call so we can meet, discuss your goals, and see if we’re a good fit before committing to a package.

Absolutely — I’m passionate about creating an inclusive, affirming space for all students, including LGBTQ+ students looking for supportive campuses or programs.

Yes! I help students identify schools with strong mental health resources, support services, and inclusive communities.

No ethical consultant can guarantee admission — but I can guarantee that I’ll help you submit your strongest application possible and explore a range of great-fit options.

Yes! I’m happy to offer flexible payment plans to make services more accessible for your family.

I encourage parents to be supportive partners in this journey! I’ll keep you updated throughout the process — but I also work directly with students to help them develop independence, confidence, and decision-making skills.

That’s okay! I love working with students exploring different paths — whether that’s community college, gap year options, trade schools, or other non-traditional routes. I’ll help guide thoughtful conversations about their goals.

• Meetings are by appointment only.

• I require 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling.

• No-shows or last-minute cancellations may result in a fee or loss of that session depending on the package selected.

• Payment is due prior to services beginning unless a payment plan has been arranged.

• Packages are non-refundable once work has begun, but I will always work with families to adjust plans if needed.

• I respect student privacy and create a safe, judgment-free space.

• Conversations between students and me are confidential — unless there is a safety concern or the student has consented to share information with parents.

• I love celebrating student achievements (like college acceptances!) — but I will only share names or details on social media with explicit permission.

• Families are welcome to follow my business social accounts, but I maintain professional boundaries and will not discuss student details publicly or via DM.
