The most important journey in life is self discovery. It is a difficult step because we must confront our faults and accept humility to achieve personal growth. My job is to help you find your favorite version of yourself. I'm here to help guide your path while you learn to love yourself, accept your past and current circumstances, and foster healthier relationships. On our path of self discovery, we find ourselves stuck in the past and focusing on our hardships, or allow our fears to prevent us from reaching our goals. I want to help you embrace the resilience your past has created and overcome your fears to achieve your goals.

Some moments in life stop you cold. Grief. Loss. Trauma. Betrayal. Divorce. A life transition that knocked you sideways. A future that suddenly looks nothing like what you planned. Or maybe you've been carrying something heavy for a while and you're finally ready to put it down. You're smart, you're self-aware, and you're exhausted. You don't want platitudes. You want to actually feel better. I've spent 25 years sitting with people in some of the hardest moments of their lives—and what I know for certain is this: you don't have to keep white-knuckling through it alone and you don't need to wait weeks/months/years for help.

My ideal clients are high-achieving women and professionals — including attorneys, executives, and caregivers — who look completely fine on the outside but are quietly struggling on the inside. They come in saying they're anxious, burned out, or just off. What we often discover together is unrecognized trauma underneath those symptoms — patterns rooted in experiences they never labeled as trauma.
Many don't identify as survivors. They identify as exhausted.
At Pivot Power, we do real, focused work. I use ART, IFS, CBT, and DBT to help clients understand what's driving their patterns, process what's underneath, and build an inner l

Any number of barriers could impede peak performance. Anxiety, burnout, injury, external pressures, and trauma are but a few of the challenges my clients regularly face. Any one of these factors can lead to feelings of disappointment, dissatisfaction, and/or diminished self-esteem. Sometimes, my clients are unaware of the underlying mechanisms contributing to performance breakdown, distress, or loss of enjoyment in sport/performance or life in general. This can lead to maladaptive behaviors and beliefs that perpetuate a debilitative cycle.

As a psychologist, I work with individuals to help them live their lives more fully and authentically.

I'll aim to understand your difficulties and the ways in which those challenges impact your life. I believe that important relationships from the past shape how we think, feel, and behave in relation to others and ourselves in the present.

You may be reaching out for support at this time because you’re feeling stuck. When meeting with my clients for the first time and discussing what brings them to therapy, most share that they have tried everything that they can think of to address their concern. Perhaps they’re used to being able to “figure it out” independently but the current issue feels insurmountable. My approach to therapy is walking alongside you as you explore different parts of yourself, better understand your thoughts and emotions, reflect on where long-standing patterns may have come from, and move towards actions that align with your values.

Life can be overwhelming, confusing, disappointing, and painful. Life can be very fast-paced, and can be very difficult in knowing how to keep up. If you’re feeling depressed, or having difficulty with friendships/relationships/family/job, therapy can help. Are the experiences earlier in your life impacting you now? Is it difficult to make healthy choices? Do you have anger issues? Do you struggle to share emotions that are natural and more vulnerable? Therapy can aid a person in making healthy choices, and improve daily decision-making.

I also do couples/relationship therapy (including poly/kink, mixed‑neurotypes), EMDR/trauma work, therapy for high‑stress professionals, and LGBTQIA+ affirmative counseling as a community member.

You’ve spent years caring for everyone else while quietly struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, emotional exhaustion, or feeling like your brain never slows down. Many of my clients are high-achieving women who discover later in life that ADHD—not laziness or lack of motivation—has been affecting their work, relationships, and self-esteem. Others are navigating perimenopause or menopause, experiencing brain fog, mood changes, increased anxiety, and feeling disconnected from themselves.
I specialize in helping women move from surviving to thriving through compassionate, evidence-based, and integrative psychotherapy.
