Ready for Spring & Summer at the office 🌸💙

I love helping people reconnect with who they truly are—underneath the trauma, the self-doubt, and the survival patterns.

Healing isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about coming back to yourself.

At Making Waves, we focus on helping you feel more confident, more resilient, and finally… anchor free 🌊

Sometimes your mind feels like a storm.
Heavy, overwhelming, hard to move through.

And other times there’s calm. Space. Room to breathe 🌊

Both can exist in the same mind, just like this sky.

With Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), we’re not just talking about what happened. We’re helping your brain actually process it so it stops showing up the same way.

You don’t have to stay stuck in the storm.

There is a way to feel more clear, more grounded, more like yourself again.

If you’ve been carrying something that won’t let go, this could be a good place to start.

3 years of showing up, doing the work, and holding space for healing.

I still remember where I was when I decided to start this practice—and how quickly everything had to come together. I stepped into it feeling scared and unsure, but also holding onto this quiet belief that it mattered… that this was what I was meant to do.

There have been so many moments of growth—not just for my clients, but for me too. This work has stretched me, grounded me, and reminded me over and over again why I started.

To every client who has trusted me with their story, their healing, and their vulnerability—thank you. Truly. It means more than I can put into words.

Here’s to continuing the work and creating spaces where people feel seen, supported, and able to come back home to themselves.

I’m so excited to share that I’m now offering Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) in my practice! As both a business owner and clinician, it’s incredibly meaningful to bring an evidence-based approach to my clients that can create real, lasting change—often much faster than traditional talk therapy.

ART is rooted in proven therapeutic methods and is designed to help individuals process and resolve a wide range of concerns, typically in just 1–5 sessions. It supports rapid recovery from trauma and other mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, family issues, phobias, OCD, PTSD, addictions, performance anxiety, relationship issues, infidelity, grief, codependency, job-related stress, and so much more.

It allows you to keep the knowledge, lose the pain—without having to relive or retell every detail of your experience.

I am currently accepting new ART clients who are ready to move forward and experience relief in a more efficient, empowering way.

Therapy is about breathing easier — emotionally and literally. 🤍
We invest in clean air, allergy-friendly products, fresh couch covers, and thoughtful details so every client (and clinician!) feels safe and comfortable here.
Because healing happens best in spaces that care for you in every way.

A view you don’t often see on instagram of our space but a very important one at that ❤️

Snacks and drinks provided to help every client feel at home. A regularly cleaned space with products that are safe for all minds/bodies. A cozy couch with soft pillows and blankets that are often washed with sanitizing soaps to ensure the health of our clients. 👏🏽

Accepting new therapy and consulting clients.
