 College Support Before There Is a Crisis 

 
Starting college is exciting, but it can also be a much bigger emotional and social adjustment than families expect.

For more than 25 years, I’ve helped college students and their families navigate homesickness, anxiety, isolation, academic pressure, and the transition to greater independence.

I created The College Edge to help students begin college with practical strategies, greater confidence, and someone they already know they can turn to if they need support.
