About

Our
Values

Joy

Joy is central to our work. We want whatever path our clients choose to feel joyful, meaningful and authentic to them. Young people hold a lot of stress whether it be managing their school and activity commitments, measuring themselves against their peers or carrying the anxiety of not knowing what the future holds. We are here to better ensure that the future feels hopeful.


Discovery

Key to the work we do is the idea of discovery. We are here to help our clients reflect on where they are now on their path to success and discover where they want to be in the future. Whether it be helping them find an internship that helps make school finally make sense or introducing them to a college that is the perfect fit for their interests or connecting them with a “gap year” or job training program that gives them a chance to try something new.


Celebrating Uniqueness

We are here to meet every young person where they are and support them in their individual journey to greater independence and life success. We do not believe in comparing young people to their peers or prescribing the same advice to everybody.


Connection

We believe that feeling connected to others is central to our well being as humans. In an increasingly fragmented world where people feel isolated and cut off from others we work to help our clients feel connected and in community with others.


I have over 25 years of experience working with young people and their families as a classroom teacher, admissions expert, educational consultant, director of a career pathway program and learning disabilities advocate. I am also the parent of a young adult who is finding his way in the world.

My goal is to bring joy and a sense of discovery to the work I do with young people around helping them appreciate their uniqueness and develop a personalized plan for academic, career and personal success.

I look forward to working with you!
