Practical support to save you time and energy
Your future clients have waited long enough
Welcome. I’m so glad you are here!
If you're reading this, chances are you’re nearing graduation or freshly into the next chapter of your counseling journey—so first, truly: congratulations. That’s no small thing. You’ve made it through the coursework, the hours, the growth, and the self-reflection it takes to get here. I’ve been there too, and I remember how exciting and overwhelming this moment can be.
I’m a counselor, supervisor, and educator based in North Carolina, and my work centers on helping new counselors navigate the transition from graduate school to full professional practice. Over the past decade, I’ve taught and supervised hundreds of students across CACREP-accredited programs, supported them in finding field placements, prepped them for licensure, and helped them figure out where and how they want to show up in the field.
Why I Created LaunchWell…
LaunchWell came from a pattern I saw over and over again: brilliant, compassionate students unsure how to transition out of their degree programs and find meaningful work.
Licensure Applications, Job Search Materials, Finding & Evaluating Jobs, Selecting a Supervisor, Navigating Provisional Licensure…
These things are complicated. The systems take time to learn and patience to navigate. I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learned to help new graduates clearly and practically, saving them time and reducing stress along the way.

My Approach
Practical. Clear. Specific. Supportive. Empowering. Simple.
When it comes to applying for licensure, you don’t have time or energy for answers like, “It Depends.” You need resources that get to the point and save you the steps of Google searching, asking around, and making it up as you go.
I’ve created my resources with that in mind. Whether you need specific guidance on how to search for and select a licensure supervisor or step-by-step instructions for completing a licensure application, I've got you covered. And if you need a bit more one-on-one support after using these tools- schedule with me. Send me your questions in advance, and I’ll come prepared with the answers.
