Counseling Philosophy: 

It can be difficult for students to fully express the qualities that make them unique in a college application. I enjoy working closely with students to help them find the words to express their creativity, passion, and special qualities to college admissions teams. It is my belief that each student's voice is already there. Sometimes they just need a little help in order to be fully heard.

Educational Philosophy:
