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.
