Everyone Else Seems to Have a Plan

You Can Too.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when you’re choosing a college, starting a career, or making a professional change. Too many options can feel overwhelming—and doubts can creep in fast. You may feel stuck, not knowing how to begin or move forward.

You aren’t alone in feeling this way. A student I worked two weeks before high school graduation said it perfectly:
"It seems like everyone else has a plan... except me."

That’s where I come in. Whether you’re navigating school decisions or career shifts, my goal is to get you "unstuck" with clarity and momentum. Together, we’ll build a plan—or several—to fit your goals and circumstances.

With 25 years of experience, I've guided hundreds of students and adults through transitions, moving them from uncertainty to action. I start by understanding your specific needs—no cookie-cutter packages or processes. If you’re not sure what those needs are yet, we’ll figure them out together.

My approach is efficient and includes concrete deliverables. I research your options, map out realistic pathways, and provide everything from timelines to checklists. You’ll leave with a personalized plan and clear next steps.

You don’t have to feel like everyone else has it figured out except you. With the right support, you’ll have a plan too—one that fits your life, your goals, and your next steps, whether you’re just starting out or starting over.
