SERVICES
Your child deserves a college path that's as healthy as it is successful. Based in Indianapolis and working virtually with families across the country, I guide students — especially those navigating mental health challenges or learning differences — through a calm, supportive admissions process that leads to multiple college acceptances where they will thrive.

The College Compass Program
The College Compass Program provides consistent, personalized guidance throughout the college admissions journey. Whether a student begins working with me in their freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior year, this program adapts to their interests and needs.
​
This program supports the whole student — their strengths, interests, executive functioning needs, and mental health — while providing parents with peace of mind and structured, expert support. Every plan is individualized, and entry points are flexible so families can start when it makes sense for them.
​
My goal is simple: multiple college acceptances where your child will thrive and a process that is clearer, calmer, and more enjoyable for everyone involved. ​
What’s Included
​
✔ Personalized, Multi-Year Guidance
​
Support from the time we begin working together through May 1st of senior year (or August 1 for mental health transition planning). Students receive a roadmap that evolves as they do.
​​
​
✔ A Thoughtful, Wellness-Informed Approach
I prioritize your child's mental health, reducing overwhelm, and helping students discover what environments will allow them to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
​
✔ Comprehensive Academic & Personal Review and Strategy
We review academic records, test scores, transcripts, extracurriculars, psychological evaluations (if applicable), and any other relevant information to ensure accurate, supportive planning.
​
✔ Consultations With Other Providers
With permission, I collaborate with therapists, ADHD coaches, learning specialists, or school counselors to provide the most aligned and seamless support possible.
