Full-Service College Counseling
My goal is to make this process worthwhile and affordable for your family. Every student is different, and so is every engagement. Below is a transparent breakdown of how my pricing works so there are no surprises.
Our full-service college counseling package provides personalized, start-to-finish support for students and families throughout the college search and application process.
This package is designed for families who want thoughtful guidance, clear structure, and a college process rooted in fit, confidence, and less stress.
At this time, full-service counseling is temporarily full for students graduating in 2028 and 2029.
Families of 2027 graduates are encouraged to explore the Application Audit service instead. Please complete the interest form.
