Why Work With Me?
A guide grounded in education, psychology, and mental health.
Choosing a college or career is about more than applications and acceptance letters. It requires understanding your strengths, interests, personality, values, and long-term goals.
My background uniquely combines expertise in education, psychology, and mental health, allowing me to provide guidance that goes beyond traditional college advising or career coaching.

Common Questions
-
Q: Do parents participate in the career counseling process?
A: Yes. Parents play an important role, especially for high school students. I encourage collaboration while creating space for your teen to build confidence and make informed decisions.
Q: My teen has no idea what they want to do after high school. Is that okay?
A: Absolutely. Most students don't have it all figured out. My goal is to help them discover a path that fits who they are—not who they think they're supposed to be.
Q: Is this only for students planning to attend a four-year college?
A: Not at all. Whether your student is considering college, trade school, apprenticeships, military service, or entering the workforce, we'll explore the path that's right for them.
Q: Do you help with college applications and planning?
A: Yes! I can help with college selection, application planning, timelines, and creating a personalized plan that keeps students on track without feeling overwhelmed.
-
Q: I'm questioning my major. Can you help?
A: Absolutely. It's more common than you think. Together, we'll explore your strengths, interests, and goals to help you move forward with confidence.
Q: What if I already know what I want to do?
A: Great! We can focus on creating a clear plan to help you reach your educational or career goals and navigate the next steps with confidence.
Q: How many sessions will I need?
A: Every client is different. Some people gain clarity in just a few sessions, while others prefer more ongoing support. We'll determine what makes the most sense for your goals.
-
Q: I already have a degree but don't enjoy my career. Is this service right for me?
A: Absolutely. Many adults find themselves ready for something different. Whether you're seeking more purpose, balance, or fulfillment, we'll explore what's next together.
Q: How do you help adults considering a career change?
A: We'll identify your strengths, values, interests, and transferable skills, then create a realistic plan for a career that feels more aligned with who you are today.
Q: What makes your approach different from an online career assessment?
A: Career decisions are personal. Assessments are just one piece of the puzzle. I combine evidence-based tools with personalized guidance to help you make decisions that feel meaningful and sustainable.
Q: Are sessions available virtually?
A: Yes! I offer secure virtual sessions throughout New York, making it easy to meet wherever you are.
Q: How do I know which service is right for me?
A: That's what the consultation is for. We'll talk about your goals, where you're feeling stuck, and which service will provide the support you need.
