Testimonials
Hear from students and parents about their transformative experiences with my counseling services.
She understands a very complicated process and communicates well. She makes herself available both for the anxious parent and the student to talk through things.
Lisa’s professional and approachable manner transformed what is typically a stressful college process into a manageable and positive experience. Her involvement was crucial in smoothly navigating this vital stage of our children’s academic journey
She is prompt in her communication and always has an upbeat demeanor. She doesn’t let things “slip through the cracks
She is amazing at responding to email queries, and gets back right away (often early in the morning and even at night).
Not only was Lisa able to understand each of her students’ individual needs and interests, but she was incredible at guiding students to make decisions based on what they really value by guiding deeper self-reflection. Sometimes I felt like Lisa knew me better than I knew myself.
