Danielle has been amazing.  When my son (who is a Junior in high school) started working with her he was failing some of his classes and had very little confidence in his English skills. [expander_maker id=”1″ more=”Read more” less=”Read less”]He is now a confident kid who is getting all As and Bs. He was a kid who has no direction of what he wanted to do after high school not thinking that college was right for him to a kid who is clearer on what he wants to study and is excited to look at colleges.   She has helped him to learn how to organize his day and come up with solutions for getting organized to get his school work turned in. My son struggles with a writing disability and ADD, the skills that he has learned with Danielle have been life changing for him and changed him as a student, he used to be a kid that survived his day to a kid who is taking charge of his day and creating the academic life that he is wanting.  She has helped him to access his creative writing potential and to be confident in his English skills.[/expander_maker] L Ruby Miller

Danielle is working with both my college aged kids. They are both on different levels on their life path. She is helping my son start to take the steps…[expander_maker id=”3″ more=”Read more” less=”Read less”]for his future and helping him acquire the tools he needs to go in the right direction. My daughter is already walking the steps, but needs guidance to continue to stay on track and on task. Danielle is knowledgeable, super insightful and I am extremely grateful for her services.[/expander_maker] S. Thomas-Brown

Thank you for putting me in contact with Dani. She was wonderful and had such great advice and knowledge for me. Ultimately, she said I am on a good path, told me how useful my proposed degree can be…[expander_maker id=”4″ more=”Read more” less=”Read less”] and that going into…at a university with this degree is a good step. She knows a lot! She gave me a lot of different ideas that would definitely be better for me mentally and provided good alternatives. Thanks so much for the contact![/expander_maker] P. Petersen

As parents we desperately try to find the magic to help guide our teenagers as the try to navigate and move forward into their young adult lives… Danielle has the ability to show young people a clear path.[expander_maker id=”5″ more=”Read more” less=”Read less”]She communicates in a way that creates confidence for the young person, but more importantly helps parents realize the “magic” has been found simply in asking for her counsel.   Danielle deeply cares about people; this translates into a high level of trust.  Ultimately, she helps create a smoother, more positive, and eventually an enriched process at this very intense time in a young persons life. [/expander_maker] M.
