I help busy NYC parents who are feeling overwhelmed by the high school application process—especially those raising teens with IEPs. If you’re unsure how to find the right school, what supports your child is entitled to, or how to prepare for IEP meetings as your teen transitions from middle to high school, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place.

I’ve been there myself. As a parent, I’ve spent sleepless nights trying to understand the steps involved in applying to high school, worrying about how to even begin to find a school where my child would feel both supported and challenged. I’ve also sat in IEP meetings, confused and frustrated, wishing someone could just walk me through it all. What started as a mission to understand this system for my own family turned into a passion for helping others find peace of mind in the process.

Together, we’ll identify best-fit schools —whether your child is thriving, struggling, has an IEP, or just needs the right environment to grow. You’ll know what to look out for on tours, what questions to ask, and how to advocate without second-guessing yourself. My goal is for every family I work with to walk away feeling hopeful, empowered, and truly supported.

You don’t have to do this alone—I’m here to help.

XO, Carolyn
