ARE YOU ABD (all but dissertation)
or ABT (all but thesis)?
Are you discouraged about your lack of progress? Having trouble understanding why you procrastinate so badly on your thesis or dissertation?
Do you feel like the way you process information and the way you write will never help you become a scholar, with completed Master’s or Doctorate?
When you get feedback from your faculty advisor, chair, mentor, or committee, do you feel as though they haven’t heard you?
Does your faculty really answer your questions? How do you move forward when you don’t understand what they mean or what they expect or want?
Do you feel like nothing has prepared you for this, the thesis or dissertation, and feel lost?
Have you found yourself losing clarity, and need someone who can really hear you to help you figure out what you need, what to say, and what step or steps to take next?
Has your learning disability boxed you into a corner and you aren’t sure where to turn for help with the proposal, dissertation, or thesis?
As many as half of all graduate students
never complete the thesis or dissertation.
Think of the expense: the cost of all that schooling, never completing it, and never being able to use the degree for the career you want.
How much will it cost you to pay tuition for an extra 2-7 years? How expensive would it be for you not to complete? What if you could take an extra 2-7 years less time on your project? How many years of payments and how much interest will that save you in educational loans?
I can help you with every one of these problems and more.
Listen to what some of my clients have said:
Mary Beth helped me to find my way out of what seemed to be darkness with no light in sight. I was beginning to think I would never be able to write a proposal, let alone a dissertation. We worked on putting words to ideas, concepts and feelings that helped me find my way onto the path for the dissertation. She was with me all the way through final oral presentation. Because of her support, I finished in a timeline that worked for me.

Working with Mary Beth was fabulous. I thought, as a dyslexic person, I could say to her what I wanted to put on the paper, and between the 2 of us, we could get it there, in the right order. I didn’t find her judgmental but she was a resource that was helpful.
E.B., Ed.D.
I needed someone to help me with clarity on my proposal, not editing and style help, but help understanding what the faculty would be looking for, and how to integrate that into my thinking.
Are you stuck with something? Mary Beth is the person to go to when you’re stuck. She’s good at helping get you unstuck.
There’s so much to a research project, everything’s abstract until you start your way through. Mary Beth helps make some of the very abstract things concrete, makes some of it come alive for people.
I enjoyed working with Mary Beth. She doesn’t take over people’s processes for them. She allows their process to unfold. That way, I can keep ownership of my own process. It may not be easy, but it’s really important, and it helps me to be successful.
Denise S., MA, Ph.D. graduation scheduled for July 2006
My overall experience of my time working with Mary Beth was upbeat, productive, and deeply rewarding. The finished product turned out to be a successful endeavor. I highly recommend her to all I know who need someone to really understand the load that they carry to fulfill their requirements for academia. SHE IS THE ONE!! The finished product was my Hooding Ceremony for my Masters in Education.
