-
You don't know where to start, and the school's emails and course catalogs raise more questions than they answer.
-
Every conversation about college turns tense, and you're worried about what it's doing to your relationship with your child.
-
Your child has an IEP, a 504 plan or a diagnosis, and you're not sure how it fits into admissions or which colleges will truly support them.
-
You want a plan built for your child, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Does this sound familiar?
You're in the right place.
"It's just great to have someone who knows all the ins and outs of college admissions walk you through each step of the process. It takes all the pressure out of admissions because's she's always there. Like, I've heard from friends that applying to college feels so overwhelming, but with Anne, you can trust that everything will work out.

"Anne did an excellent job working with my daughter, Ana. Anne talked her through it in a way that changed her discrouagement to excitment. What could have been a very stressful process has turned into a focused and exciting journey towards my daughter's future. I highly recommend Anne!"
Buffy Hoyt - Class of 2026 Parent
“This is one of the best investments you can make to help your child prepare for college. Anne has a wonderful way of breaking down the entire process into smaller, manageable steps, which kept my daughter from feeling overwhelmed. At one point she even said, "Mom, I'm so glad you're paying Ms. Johnson to help me - she's worth every penny!”

Prioritizing your child's emotional wellness
I'm not learning the high school landscape alongside your family — I've spent 15 years inside it as a high school and college counselor. I know what your student's school counselor is up against, how to read between the lines of a scheduling email, and how to sit with a teenager who's overwhelmed and get them talking anyway. I hold a Master's in Education and have trained extensively in adolescent mental health, so when your student is stressed, anxious, or navigating a learning difference, I'm not out of my depth — I'm in my element.
About
My name is Anne Johnson
My passion is guiding young people to their best-fit path after high school. I was a high school counselor for 15 years, I have a Master's in School Counseling, and a passion for emotional wellness. I try to be outside and/or active as much as possible. I can't wait to meet you!

I actively work against the prevailing societal norm that a more selective school or path is a "better" choice and instead work to keep emotional health and wellness at the forefront of the process.
My primary focus is to guide students and families to the educational opportunities that allow them to thrive.

Find your unique path
My aim in this process is to help your student discover their individual path, which may not necessarily lead to college or perhaps not immediately. I'm here to provide guidance for your student, whether that path involves a gap year, community college, credit recovery options, an apprenticeship, or direct entry into the workforce.
