My Approach

Comprehensive

I work with students on all aspects of their college exploration, from understanding the range of college options, to support with essay writing, to application strategy, all the way to the exciting decision process.

Hands-On

I meet frequently with my clients, understanding their particular personalities and styles, and tailoring my approach to match them as individuals.

Strength-Based

I believe deeply in the intelligence, wisdom, and aspirations of the young people I work with, and orient my practice toward identifying and showcasing those strengths.

About Me

For the past 25 years, I have worked with students and families in many different capacities. I have extensive experience in both high school and college teaching and administration, so I bring a unique perspective to this important transition. I love working with young people to help them understand their strengths and needs as they grow and empower themselves through education.

“The instant we heard that Dave was offering college admissions support my husband, my daughter, and I immediately, and enthusiastically, looked at each other with relief and in a resounding chorus, said ‘yes!’.”
