Giving The College Support Everyone Craves
College is a personal choice…not a popularity contest.
As your college counselor, we won’t chase well-known names just to have an impressive résumé.
Because the truth is that none of that matters if you hate being there.
That’s why I tell every student: the best-fit college is the one that makes sense for you, not your parents, your teachers, or even your potential future boss.
This is your journey, and it should feel right for who you are today and who you’re hoping to become!
Your Questions, Answered
-
The college process has changed since parents applied themselves. At Finding U College Counseling, we bring calm, clarity, and expertise to every step. We help your family stay organized, reduce stress, and make confident, informed decisions.
-
Families should look for someone with direct experience in college admissions, professional training in counseling or education, and membership in respected organizations such as IECA or HECA. These qualifications ensure your consultant follows ethical standards, stays current on admissions trends, and has the expertise to guide your student with accuracy and care.
-
Earlier is always better when talking about college admissions. Starting at the beginning of your sophomore year gives us more time for thoughtful planning, but I also work with seniors who need focused support.
The sooner you reach out, the sooner we can create a clear, manageable plan to move forward.
-
That’s totally normal! More than half of college students change their major, and many start with no major at all.
My job is to help explore your student’s interests, connect the dots, and lead them to apply to colleges that make sense for their future.
This isn’t about having all the answers right now, we just need to start moving forward.
-
I keep parents in the loop with a summary email after each meeting that includes a detailed to-do list of next steps and deadlines.
This is a balance that keeps everyone informed, respected, and moving in the same direction.
-
I meet with students both virtually and in person, depending on location. We will determine this on your inquiry call after you reach out.
