In 2026, I’m excited to introduce Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to my Wilmington, NC practice. ART is an evidence-based, trauma-focused therapy that uses guided eye movements to help clients process distressing memories and replace them with more adaptive images. This new approach expands my clinical toolbox, supporting faster, deeper healing for trauma survivors, visual thinkers, and anyone feeling stuck in old patterns.

Anxiety in women doesn’t always look like panic. Learn how silent, high-functioning anxiety shows up in daily life and why being “fine” all the time can come at a cost.

As the year comes to a close, I’m reflecting with deep gratitude—for the clients who trusted me with their stories, the growth of Making Waves Counseling and Wellness, and the lessons that continue to shape my work as a therapist. This year was about showing up, expanding access to care, and honoring growth in all its forms. As I look ahead, my word for 2026 is growth—a reminder that healing is not about perfection, but about creating space for meaningful, lasting change.
