A Holistic Approach

A warm, positive counseling experience that supports the whole family—student and parents—from start to finish throughout the high school years and the entire college admissions process from application to move-in day. College is a match to be made, not a race to be won. By focusing on the student, rather than the school, I identify and champion your unique story. You may have known what you want to study since you were six years old, or may have no clue. It’s all O.K.

That’s where a mentor comes in. I work with you to explore your interests and passions to help you get to know yourself better to chart a path to college. I help you figure out what classes to take, which clubs and activities to focus on, how to craft an enriching summer and how to study smarter rather than harder.

Through curated reading, leadership development, discernment surveys, and writing exercises, I help you get in touch with your strengths, passions and purpose. This is the secret to success in college admissions: a poised student who knows how much they have to offer and what they seek to learn.

At FYF, we do laughs, we do off-the-beaten path, we do brainstorming over pizza and lots and lots of coffee (and bubble tea!) We celebrate the victories together. You always work with the same coach who knows you personally, who comes to you and works around your busy schedule.
