What clients have to say

"Kimberly helped me translate my interests, ideas, and values into realistic college dreams."

Leo H. (student)

“Thanks so much for all your work with our son.  His essay was amazing and perfectly captures who he is.  And he’s got some great options, including some mini-miracles. We are so appreciative of all your hard work and care for him.”

Tom B. (parent)

"Working with Kimberly helped me understand what the college admissions team is looking for in essays and how to frame experiences in a way that will make the application the strongest it can be. I felt that my personal statement and all my essays were generally much stronger after Kimberly helped me edit and polish them. Overall, I felt very supported by Kimberly throughout this whole process and am very grateful for her guidance and help."

Sally W. (transfer student)

“Kimberly instilled confidence in my daughter by presenting additional colleges for her to consider and affirmed her throughout the entire college counseling process.  Developing individual accountability and promoting self-advocacy are two of the many valuable skills Kimberly fosters throughout her engagements.

I’ll never forget the first family meeting we had with Kimberly, and I immediately knew her personality and expertise would be a great fit.  Kimberly told me the only thing I needed to do was to love my daughter and enjoy her senior year. She would take care of the rest!  That is exactly what happened, and I couldn’t be happier!”

Susan L. (parent)

“Throughout my time working with Kimberly, I really valued that she didn't work with me based on a checklist - just ticking things off to get them done. Her process is very fluid and flexible, and I was super grateful for that during my senior year. Kimberly was a pleasure to work with, she always had a smile on her face. I would definitely recommend Kimberly to other students seeking college support.”

Megan D. (student)

“Kimberly was a wonderful advocate and booster of my daughter. She was just who she needed this year. My daughter always left her meetings with Kimberly feeling proud of herself, the process and her options. Kimberly’s partnership with our family was also a welcome and happy addition to what can be such a nerve wracking time for families.”

Helen B. (parent)

“I appreciated Kimberly’s enthusiasm and confidence in me. Her encouragement helped me write some awesome essays that I likely would not have gotten into colleges without.”

Eva K. (student)

“Your work with my daughters as they navigated how to go to college and choose a meaningful course of study once there has proven invaluable. Your college counseling work with individuals poised to impact the world with their talents reflects your mindfulness, heart, and presence as a wisdom-filled guide.”

Danielle M. (parent)

“Where Kimberly helped me the most was with my essays. It was great to have her coach me through all of the different prompts presented by different schools and gave me great advice.”

Finn A. (student)

“Thank you, Kimberly, for sharing the gifts of your experience, humor, patience, and nurturing accountability. You did it WAAAAAAY better than either of us parents could have.”

Dave S. (parent)

“I loved her persistence with me when I started to get busy with the school year. She stayed with me through the entire process and was constantly checking up on me so I stayed on task. Without her I would have never got my applications done on time.”

Kate D. (student)

“We are so thankful for your help with both our kids. You made the entire process smooth, seamless, calm, and enjoyable. It truly is the gift of peace in what is normally a stressful time. What we wanted most for our kids is for them to be confident in their choices. You certainly were a big part of that.”

Mike A. (parent)

“I liked how we got most of the hard work done before school started. This helped manage my stress and definitely made it easier to handle schoolwork and the application process. I thought I wasn’t a good writer but by the time I finished my essays I was very proud of myself. I think what helped most was the multiple writing exercises and processes we went through to really figure out how I could express who I am through my words and onto the page.”

Hana H. (student)

"I really appreciated the Excel Sheet we used! It was super helpful to have one place where I could find all my college info. It also made it super easy to keep track of what I needed to do and what my portal passwords were."

 Grace W. (student)

“I couldn’t be happier with how Kimberly helped my son pare down from the over 4,300 US colleges to determine those that best met his interests, goals and academic level. They worked independently and she guided him thru picking appropriate choices, completing his essays and meeting deadlines. I know wherever he ends up will be a great match. Worth every penny!”

Karen B. (parent)

“I cannot express how grateful I am for the opportunity I had to work with you at the beginning of this school year. Not only have you helped me with my success with college applications, but with my overall confidence as a writer.”

Kristen S. (student)

“My daughter is so excited about college now and really working hard in school (!). I really think her whole process with Kimberly helped her see a dormant side of her brain. It’s very cool to witness.” - Laura C. (parent)

“I really liked working with Kimberly, especially the college preference cards. This really helped me nail down what I wanted and set expectations for what had to have and what I could sacrifice for the best possible fit.”

Jack B. (student)

“I really liked how we worked on specific goals, and really narrowed down to the best possible schools. I felt like I started the college process feeling overwhelmed and chose schools that felt comfortable, but didn’t pull me out of my comfort zone. I thought it was really important that we looked at my stats compared to what schools might expect, and got real about applying. I also just went back and found my drafted emails on how to ask for a letter of recommendation which was incredibly helpful! I think the most valuable thing was the help polishing my personal statement, as I truly believe it helped me get into my schools.”

Claire S. (student)

“Your knowledge of the application process and the support and genuine encouragement you provided to our daughter was absolutely priceless. Your guidance on her exploration of essay topics for her applications and positive feedback empowered her to finish College in the High School LA class with an A. She was recognized by her teacher as writing some of the strongest essays in the class. I firmly believe that she would not have grown in this way without your feedback and support. You provided our daughter with a structured process by which to explore potential college choices to create a more clear path.”

Roseann S. (parent)

“Thank you so much for working with our son! I am really glad you enjoy working with students because you have a very special gift with connecting with teens/young adults. It was so nice as a parent to learn about the college research and application process, but more importantly to know that you were working alongside our son to help identify criteria, narrow choices, and find his own voice for his essays. We are grateful for your support and encouragement.”
