Comprehensive support from early high school through your final college decision.
Full-cycle counseling is for families who want a steady hand across the entire process, not just a sprint at the end. I typically start working with students in 9th or 10th grade, though juniors are welcome too. If you are starting later than that, the junior-year jumpstart may be the better fit.
This is the deepest way to work together. It is also the version of this work I believe in most, because the strongest applications are not written in senior fall. They are built over years of honest conversations about who you are and where you are headed.
Choosing classes that challenge you without breaking you, mapped against where you want to apply.
Building depth in the things you actually care about, because admissions officers can spot resume padding a mile away.
A balanced list built around fit, with real reach, match, and likely options you would be happy to attend.
Whether to take the SAT or ACT, when, how many times, and whether to test at all.
The personal statement, every supplement, the activities list, and the interviews. All of it, together.
When results come back, help weighing offers, aid packages, and waitlist strategy with a clear head.
We meet a few times a year. Course selection, activity check-ins, and building good habits early. Low intensity on purpose.
The pace picks up. Testing plan, college research, campus visits, and a first draft of your list by spring.
The main essay gets written now, when there is time to do it well. Most students finish their personal statement before school starts.
Supplements, applications, and deadlines, managed week by week so nothing piles up. Then we wait, and then we decide.
Free strategy sessions. No pitch, no pressure, just a plan.
