Specialties

From choosing a preschool to applying for college, parents face countless decisions about their child's education. To guide you through these, I provide a wealth of knowledge about the many wonderful Southern California schools and programs. I meet with you to determine your concerns and identify your child's strengths. Together, we set goals and develop a plan for finding the ideal environment for your child to learn and succeed--and make sure you're picking a school your family will love. I also offer Coaching for short-term challenges. Whether it's help getting your preschooler through the rigorous selection process, or filling out a university application for your college-bound teen, I will be your sounding board, teammate, support network and cheerleader all rolled into one.
