Voted Top Mental Health Practice honoree by trianglefamilymag 🏆

Almost 16 years ago I opened my private practice in Cary NC, with a passion to help people feel more connected to each other and to themselves.

Standing in front of her room of local business owners, who show up for this community every day reminded me exactly why I do this work.

Thank you to every client, colleague and friend who voted, and to Triangle Family for celebrating the people making a difference across the triangle.

With Triangle Family Magazine – I just got recognized as one of their top fans! 🎉

Foundations 4 Change has been named a 2026 Impact Awards Honoree by Triangle Family Magazine, recognized in two categories: Mental Health Practice, and Psychiatric/Psychological Services.

These honorees are chosen by readers, not by a panel of judges. That is what makes this one mean something. It came from the community itself.

Grateful and honored are my words this week. I get to wake up every day and truly enjoy what I do, and after more than twenty years, that has not changed once.

Being recognized by the people I have sat with, in the hardest conversations of their lives, is not something I will ever take lightly. Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote.

The Trafficking Survivors Relief Act was signed into law today, January 23, 2026. This marks a major step forward for survivors, creating a path to clear non‑violent offenses they were compelled to commit during their exploitation. This removes a barrier that has long stood in the way of rebuilding their lives.

✨ 𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄? Your breath is the bridge between your body and mind. When you breathe deeply and consciously, your nervous system shifts from stress mode (fight-or-flight) to calm mode (rest-and-digest).

Studies show that breathwork:
✅ Lowers cortisol (stress hormone)
✅ Enhances mental clarity
✅ Improves emotional regulation

Take a 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗶𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗲... 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱... 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗹𝘆. Notice the shift? That’s the power of your breath!
