About Me

Hi, I’m Anne, founder of EdPath Coaching and Consulting, and your calm, honest guide through the college admissions process. 

 

I’ve spent the past 15 years working with high school students. I started out as a school counselor, and I am now an independent educational consultant specializing in helping students who are anxious, neurodiverse, or managing mental health challenges navigate the college admissions process.

I'll build relationships with you based on honest conversations, a clear roadmap, and consistent support from start to finish. I’m the calm voice when things feel frantic. The steady guide when the options feel overwhelming. The advocate who keeps your student’s well-being at the center of every single decision.

​​​My years inside high schools gave me something many educational consultants don’t have: a real understanding of how high schools work and where they fall short. I have been a counselor with a student caseload of 400. I have seen how students with complex needs get lost even in schools that are genuinely trying. 

 

That’s why I built EdPath Coach to work differently: fewer clients, more depth, and a process designed around your student’s actual life and not a one-size-fits-all curriculum.

My specialty is students with learning differences, ADHD, anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns that shape how they learn and experience the world. 

I hold certifications in Youth Mental Health First Aid, QPR (suicide prevention), and ASIST. I’m trained in Motivational Interviewing and Strengths-Based Counseling. With your permission, I collaborate with therapists, ADHD coaches, and learning specialists to ensure every part of your student’s support system works together.

 

I’ve visited more than 80 college campuses. I know when the disability services office is truly exceptional and when it’s just a box to check. I know which environments allow students like yours to thrive. And I will help you tell the difference.

 

I actively push back on the idea that a more selective school is a better school. I am not here to package your student for admissions committees. I am here to help them find the place where they will genuinely flourish academically, socially, and emotionally.

When I’m not working with families, you’ll find me outside hiking in national and state parks, baking, reading books, or spending time with my two kids.

 

My first intro call is always free. If you're looking for a calmer, more confident college admissions process where your teenager has multiple acceptances to schools they love, click the button below to schedule!
