“Working with Tanya was an incredibly positive experience for our family. What stood out most was how thoughtfully she listened to my daughter—really taking the time to understand her interests, goals, and instincts rather than steering her toward a predetermined path. She struck a perfect balance between offering expert guidance and empowering my daughter to make her own decisions with confidence.

Throughout the process, Tanya helped her build a strong, well-considered list of schools that truly reflected who she is, giving her exciting options to choose from at the end of the process.

Beyond the outcomes, Tanya made what can be a stressful time feel manageable and even enjoyable. My daughter felt heard, supported, and encouraged every step of the way. I would highly recommend Tanya to any family looking for a counselor who prioritizes the student’s voice while still delivering exceptional results.”

“Our family decided to work with Tanya for our 2nd child after we had an experience with another counselor that simply was not a good fit for our family. Working with Tanya was a breath of fresh air. She took the reins but held them with a light touch, effortlessly keeping us on track and on schedule. She was extremely organized, helping us become so as well. She listened, never pushed anything my son didn’t respond to and was always cheerful, pleasant, positive and practical. She regularly checked in to make sure he wasn’t falling behind and broke down the process into manageable chunks and deadlines which she was wonderful at keeping him accountable to. She helped him build a truly balanced list of college choices so that when it was time for him to pick his school, he had many wonderful options. So glad I don’t have to go through this again (last kid!) but if I did, I’d use Tanya."

“Working with Tanya made a real difference in my application process. Throughout every step, I felt heard, valued, and respected. She never tried to overshadow my own thoughts or writing. Instead, she helped bring out my voice and strengthen it. Her guidance was supportive rather than controlling, and she knew how to help me enhance my ideas without changing who I am as a writer.” 

“I cannot be more grateful to Tanya for all the work she put in to make my dreams possible. Working with her every week was a privilege and I’m so thankful she helped me through the whole process. I’m so happy I was able to find the best college for me and I couldn’t have done it without her.”
