Consulting for Counseling Students & Associates

Starting your counseling career comes with many questions that aren’t always answered in class. Whether you’re applying to CMHC or MFT programs, preparing for practicum or internship, or navigating your first associate position, the process can feel overwhelming, confusing, or isolating.

This consulting service provides practical, personalized support for counseling students and pre-licensed associates (AMFTs, APCCs, ACSWs) who want guidance, clarity, and direction as they move through the early stages of the counseling journey.

Important Disclaimer: This consulting service is educational and career-oriented. It is not clinical supervision, does not qualify as therapy, and does not count toward clinical training hours or BBS requirements. No hours can be signed off, and no clinical guidance or oversight is provided. All licensure-related questions are addressed using publicly available information, and you are encouraged to verify requirements directly with the BBS or your program.

Why Work With Me

As a current MA, AMFT, and APCC, I deeply understand what it’s like to navigate graduate programs, secure practicum placements, choose associate roles, and build a path toward licensure. I’m actively walking this journey and know the real-world challenges and decisions that come with it.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in business consulting, program development, and strategic planning, gaining experience in research, analysis, timelines, and resource organization. This allows me to combine clinical insight with strategic, practical support that helps you move forward with clarity and confidence.

My approach is both encouraging and realistic—supporting you with grounded information, organization, and a clear roadmap tailored to where you are.
