I see your student as a hero, taking the next step toward the unknown…
…not knowing where to go, what to major in, what career to choose. Or even if college is the right thing to do right now. It is okay not to know.
My role is to be their ally.
College counseling helps to create a healthy boundary between your student and yourself, making the process a mark of independence.
I help restore a sense of integrity.
“Integrity is not so much a painfully upheld standard, as it is a prolonged and focused delight.”
This is the purpose of the process, which in itself can be that focused delight.
I've been a college counselor for 22 years.
