Year-Long Packages
One-on-One Consulting Services
Full-service, unlimited advising through every stage of the college admissions process. We start with your student's story and build everything from there.
Comprehensive support, from first conversation to final decision
These programs are for families who want comprehensive, ongoing support. Not just at application crunch time, but throughout the entire process. Both packages include all three stages of my process: Self-Discovery, Explore & Match, and Apply.
The difference between the two programs is when we begin. The Upper-Level Student Package starts in junior year, when the application timeline is active. The Comprehensive Package begins in freshman or sophomore year, giving your student time to build the experiences and self-awareness that make a compelling application.
Both programs include coaching throughout the year, and parents and students can contact me as often as needed.
✓ Unlimited Zoom, phone, and email coaching
throughout the year
✓ Story Fingerprint™ coaching that shapes the
narrative for the full application
✓ Essay coaching through every draft of every
required essay
✓ College list development and financial aid
guidance
✓ Submission management and interview
preparation
✓ Acceptance evaluation and decision-day
guidance
Choose When to Start
Both programs deliver the same depth of support. The Comprehensive Package simply gives us more time — and more time means more story.

Focused on Just the Essays?
If your student's main need is the personal statement and supplemental essays, my targeted essay packages may be the right fit — at a focused scope and price point. Or, if you need occasional help without a full program, hourly and five-hour block options are available.
