Dr. Mae's College & Educational Planning Process
I have worked with amazing young people and adults since formally beginning my private practice in 1983. Many of my clients are in or entering into a transitional stage of life and look to me for my expertise and experience to guide them.
My formula for success is tailored to each client.
Each story is as different as the individual, and there is no one path to finding the next step in academics or in life. My role as a guide is to make it a stressless process for each individual to find their way.
Dr. Mae provides the same unique services in person and worldwide via video conferencing.
LISTEN
My task is to listen to my clients’ passions while opening them up to new worlds and experiences they might not have previously considered. I work hard to ease the stress of transition and set my clients up for success. My formula for success is tailored to each client.
GUIDE
Through deep listening to the client, I become a guide who, for a finite time, helps the individual navigate along life's highways, whether that means choosing a college, a vocation, a gap year, or perfecting applications.
STRATEGIZE
We work together in person, on Google Facetime or Zoom, to establish and meet goals and deadlines, and let the individual’s strengths shine on the page and in interviews. We then target colleges, schedule tests, and develop a personal portfolio to help distinguish the applicant in the competitive admission process

"To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best,
night and day, to make you everybody else-means to fight the hardest battle any human can fight."
