Ugh. You sound overwhelmed and confused. That is not a good place to be.
Maybe you could see her once a week and see a career or financial consultant once a week. So you are still going (and paying?) for 2 appointments, but one is with her and one with someone else. I don't know what your out of pocket expense is for her, nor what the others would charge.
If she can't advise you on the things that you need, she should be able to help you identify how to get the answers you are looking for. Frame you problem as not being able to move forward in solving these other things. How can you get "unstuck" so that you have a plan of attack. Are there emotional things that are keeping you stuck (embarassment, fear of reality, fear of change, trust issues, etc.)? In other words, maybe you can reframe your problem into something that she Can/Will address.
Does she understand how frustrated you are?
Is there a career counseling center for the Students that would be willing to help you?
Pray for a $700 Christmas?
If I were you, I would need a plan for how to get out of the situation. Or at least a plan for how to get a plan to get out of the situation.
I'm cheering for you!
