Most admissions services focus on polishing a résumé.

I focus on helping a student recognize a story — not as a marketing tactic, but as something that feels true.

Colleges don’t want perfection; they want coherence. When students understand who they are becoming, their choices, essays, and applications begin to align naturally — and feel inevitable rather than strategic.

The result isn’t just a stronger application. It’s a young person who knows themselves well enough to choose a place where they belong.

This work is a strong fit for students who:

• have interests, experiences, or strengths but struggle to articulate them.

• feel capable but uncertain how to present themselves.

• are thoughtful, curious, or internally driven.

• feel overwhelmed by expectations or comparison.

• want clarity, confidence, and direction—not just answers.

Students do not need to arrive self-aware or “figured out.”

That’s what the work is for.

Earlier is almost always easier — but meaningful work can happen at many points.

Most families begin in sophomore or junior year to allow space for exploration. Others come later when essays or decisions feel urgent.

We’ll talk through timing during the initial consultation and decide whether now—or later—makes the most sense.

Early in the process, most students meet with me regularly — often every two to three weeks — with flexibility depending on the season and needs.

Meetings increase during essay and application phases and may space out during quieter periods.

This is a long-term relationship, not a one-off service.

I live in the greater Boston area, but work remotely with families across the U.S. and even internationally.

I intentionally work with a small number of students each year.

This allows me to be fully present, responsive, and deeply engaged with each family. Availability is limited, and not every inquiry turns into an engagement.

There are several ways to work together, depending on where you are in the process:

The Family Clarity Sessions — $750 Three guided sessions for families who want clarity before committing to deeper work

College Clarity Intensive — $2,500

A structured engagement for sophomores and juniors ready to go deeper

Senior Narrative Intensive — $5,500

Focused support for seniors navigating the application process

1 on 1 Long-Term Coaching — $8,000–$11,500

A sustained partnership across the full arc of the process

** Payment plans are available.

Yes. Payment plans are available and can be discussed during the consultation.

The consultation is a conversation —not a sales call.

We’ll talk about your student, your concerns, what feels challenging right now, and what kind of support would be most helpful.

My goal is clarity — for both of us —about whether working together makes sense.

If you’re looking for quick answers, shortcuts, or guarantees, this probably isn’t the right fit.

If you value thoughtful guidance, calm decision-making, and a process that supports both growth and strong applications, it often is.

The consultation exists to explore that honestly — without pressure to commit.

No. And if you speak with anyone who does, be very wary.

College admissions is complex and unpredictable, and no ethical advisor can promise outcomes.

What I do offer is a thoughtful, well-supported process that helps students present themselves clearly and authentically—and make decisions they can stand behind.

That foundation serves them well in admissions, and far beyond it.

The Family Clarity Sessions were designed exactly for this moment — three guided sessions to help your student and family get clear before committing to deeper work. Many families begin there.
