College Coaching Sessions
"Which is the best college for me?" "What financial aid is out there for me?" "I don't know what I want to do with the rest of my life!" "What if I don't get in?" "Should I go to college or trade school?"
These are some very common questions and thoughts that float through a teen's mind while they are attending high school. It can be extremely nerve-wracking for any teenager.
​
Claudia's extensive knowledge in navigating the college decision process will help to guide you through this overwhelming process.

"You are an amazing person but your level of caring is so deep and genuine.  Often during the work week when I am driving to work, I think, well, what would Claudia say about this? Thank you for your positivity and guidance."

Your small group circles have really helped me understand my son.  I see that others are going through the same thing and feel really heard when we all meet.

Thank you for helping me see that I have a voice in how my child is educated. Helping me figure out how express my feelings to the school really felt validating. I know I can do this.
