The Benefit No One Expects
Whatever the process looks like for you, it shouldn't feel like you're in it alone
The most common comment I receive from students and families after our work together is complete is not about the school they got into or the job they landed. It's about how the process felt. Less overwhelming than they expected, more manageable than they feared. Like they had someone genuinely in their corner the entire time, every step along the way.
It all starts with a short, free Discovery Call. Connect with me.
Who I Work With
Every service is built around your specific situation. From 8th grade through graduate school and career coaching, find the right starting point for where you are right now.
A More Personal Approach
When families work with Coleman College Counseling, they work directly with me. I intentionally keep my student roster small so I can provide thoughtful, individualized support throughout the process.
Every student has different goals, strengths, challenges, and timelines. My role is to help students move forward with confidence, clarity, and a plan that feels right for them.
Getting Started
Three simple steps. The process starts with a conversation.
Step 1: Book a
Discovery Call
A free15–20 minute phone call. We'll discuss goals, concerns, and the type of support needed.
Step 2: Personalize the Plan.
Together we'll choose a service that's right for you or create a custom roadmap.
Step 3: Sign Up, and We'll Get to Work
Clients receive support, accountability, encouragement, and strategy throughout the process.
What Clients Say
From students who found their dream school to parents who finally exhaled, and everyone navigating the steps in between.
These are their words, not mine.
"I got into USC!!!!! I can't thank you enough for helping me each step of the way. I really would not have been able to do it without you. My dreams have come true and I'm so excited!" — High School Student · Accepted to USC
"One year ago we thought our daughter had no options for a four-year school. You not only helped her find one, but many! We never would have been able to do this without you." — Parent · High School Services
"You walk on water as far as myself and my husband are concerned. They will both be going to colleges that are perfect fits for them, where they will grow and thrive. We are eternally grateful." — Parent · Twin Students · High School Services
Not sure where you fit or where to start?
That's exactly what the Discovery Call is for: a free, 15–20-minute conversation to figure out the right next step together.
Acceptances: Helping Clients Find the Right Fit
Students I’ve worked with have been accepted to colleges, universities, graduate programs, and transfer pathways across the country. The goal is to help clients find opportunities and environments where they can grow, thrive, and move forward confidently.
From large public universities to small liberal arts colleges to highly selective institutions across the country and beyond. Every name on the list represents a client who found the right fit for them.
About Me
I started this practice because every student deserves someone genuinely in their corner.
As the mother of three, I know firsthand that important transitions in life are rarely simple. They take planning, flexibility, and someone who genuinely cares about the outcome. That's true whether you're navigating high school, a college transfer, graduate school, or your first career steps.
I've been working with students, families, and young professionals since 2014, and started Coleman College Counseling & Career Coaching because I wanted to offer individualized attention from someone who is fully invested in your specific situation.
When you work with me, you get me. I personally answer every call, respond to every text, and review every document, whether that's a college essay, a statement of purpose, a transfer statement, or a resume. It's the only way I know how to do this work.
I hold a Master's in Conflict Resolution, a BA from Loyola Marymount University, and have completed college counseling coursework at both UCLA and UCI. I am a Certified Professional Career Coach and Certified Professional Resume Writer.
I genuinely love this work. And I'd love to be part of your journey.
Your path is waiting. Let's find the way forward together.
The best first step is always the same: a phone call to talk through where you are, what you're hoping for, and whether working together makes sense. No pressure, no obligation, and no commitment required.
Just a conversation between two people trying to figure out the right next step.
Whatever your situation, whether you're planning for the future, or feeling behind, whether you know exactly what you need or have no idea where to begin. Start here.
