ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Katie, and if you've come across my page, chances are you're looking for help with either the college admissions process, or for your middle or high school child who is struggling academically. 

I'm so glad you're here! 

Let me tell you a little about myself. 

I am a former high school counselor with experience helping over 200 students apply to colleges and universities. I have been in public education for over 15 years - I am now a middle school guidance counselor and I also have previous experience as an English teacher. I am a Certified Professional Coach and I work with students in middle and high school to provide help with the college admissions process, as well as executive functioning coaching and support for students who are struggling academically. 

I take a unique and supportive approach to working with all of my clients: with my additional experience and background as a life coach, yoga instructor, and meditation teacher, I weave aspects of stress management, coping skills, and wellness into all of the educational coaching that I do. Whether your child is a high school student applying to colleges, or a middle schooler struggling to keep up with academics, I take a caring and empathetic approach to the work we do together, and teach my students how to handle stress and focus on their well-being, while also meeting deadlines and reaching their goals.
