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.Description text goes here

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.

A: Yes! I offer secure virtual sessions throughout New York, making it easy to meet wherever you are.
