I get people unstuck.

College and career transitions can feel overwhelming — too many options, too much conflicting information, no clear place to start. With 25 years in higher education, I bring the investigative rigor of an academic and the interpersonal skills of a communication professor to help you move forward. You leave with clear deliverables: researched pathways and concrete tools for confident decisions.

“Everyone Else Has a Plan …
Except for Me”


This was a client’s actual statement, and the reason I started this practice.

If you feel the same way, at any age or stage, I can help. I work with high school students figuring out their path, college graduates navigating next steps, and adults making major career transitions at any age. Our work starts with your specific situation and is built around exactly what you need.
