Welcome to Pivot Power!
Who we work with
You hold everything together. Who holds you?
You are the one people call when things fall apart. You show up, you perform, you deliver. At work you are exceptional. At home you are essential. And somewhere in the middle of all of that, you got lost.
At Pivot Power Counseling, we work with high-achieving women, executives, attorneys, founders, and leaders who are carrying more than anyone around them realizes. Women who are not broken, but are exhausted, stuck in old patterns, and quietly aware that something has to change.
We specialize in helping you heal what you have been outrunning, understand where your patterns actually come from, and build a life that does not require you to abandon yourself to maintain it.
Therapy is not just for when you are in crisis. Sometimes it is maintenance. Sometimes it is preparation. Sometimes it is the one hour a week where someone finally asks how you are and actually waits for the real answer.
Imagine you could effectively manage your stress, anxiety, and depression. How would your life be different? How would your relationships, work life, family, and your overall life experience improve?
We specialize in several evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Each of these approaches is designed to help you overcome obstacles, develop healthier relationships, and achieve emotional well-being in a way that resonates with your unique needs.
If you're looking for effective therapy, whether it's for trauma, stress management, self-esteem, or improving relationship dynamics, we offer online therapy sessions and in-person appointments for your convenience. Our approach is personalized, and we work collaboratively to ensure you feel heard and supported every step of the way.
Take the first step toward healing today. Contact us to schedule your appointment and start your journey to emotional wellness and personal growth.
Together, let’s ignite your pivot power!
Some reasons people deal with me for 45-60 mins per week:
-
You are the “strong” friend.
-
Your brain is a browser with 38 tabs open.
-
You overthink everything, including your overthinking.
-
You never know if you are mad, sad, or just hungry.
-
Your family keeps saying ‘Just pray about it,’ but you are starting to think you need supplementary options.
-
You have mastered the art of avoiding your feelings like a pro.
-
Netflix continuously asks if you are still there…a lot.
-
You are great at holding it together in public, but as soon as you get home- it’s a wrap.
-
You are in a constant battle between ‘treat yourself’ and ‘stop spending money, you’re broke.
-
You hit snooze a million times to negotiate with your bed and your future self.
-
You can’t tell if your relationship is a romantic comedy or a crime documentary.
"Pivot Power has helped me grow in ways I did not even know I needed to. As a start-up founder, I deal with a tremendous amount of stress and anxiety. My therapist helps me work through that so I can grow."

Vision
Empowering leaders and creative entrepreneurs to honor the past, ignite the present, and design a dynamite future.
Mission
We provide an unparalleled therapeutic experience through exceptional clinical care. We achieve this by offering individual therapy, training, and workshops grounded in radical acceptance and generational healing.
At Pivot Power PLLC, we integrate techniques to promote Whole Person Wellness within each of the eight dimensions of wellness; Emotional, Environmental, Financial, Intellectual, Occupational, Physical, Social, and Spiritual.
Many of our clients come to therapy stuck in the same patterns, unsure how to break the cycle but knowing they want to make a change. We all need help with what we think is “okay” or think is positively contributing to our functioning. We help our clients understand where these patterns come from, how these patterns served them in the past, and empower them to shed those parts they have outgrown. We collaborate with our clients to integrate their past experiences with greater bodily and emotional awareness to make choices with agency and authentic presence.
Therapy is not reserved for when “you’re having a hard time.” Sometimes therapy is off-season training/maintenance/preparation.
About Me
Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but they don’t have to be all-consuming. I help you take your pain and turn it into growth. Time, energy, and emotional resources are precious, and we need to be smart about where we put them. That’s why we focus on what I call post-traumatic growth – finding strength and healing through adversity.
Fair warning: sessions with me are not a somber experience. We will absolutely do the hard work. But you will also probably laugh at yourself at least once, and I will not apologize for that. Healing does not have to feel like a punishment. Some of the biggest breakthroughs happen right after someone says something that makes us both lose it.
I believe that everyone has the ability to change and grow. My job as your therapist is to create a safe, judgment-free space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, gain a better understanding of yourself, and learn the tools you need to move forward.
A pivot can be defined as a fundamental change in your direction. It requires attention, persistence, and the ability to re-evaluate a new approach when factors change and shift.
Although life’s pivotal moments can be painful, they also create an opportunity to do just that. Whether you're battling anxiety, depression, trauma, or other concerns, it is possible to pivot to a path that leads to happier times. This concept is what I believe plants the seeds for post traumatic growth.

My Approach
I work to understand what you currently believe-about everything. I work to understand what you want and why. The specifics. I am a former athlete who has been coached by her Marine father. So, we are here to work. This will be work and you must want the results badly enough. I am about results. I examine all eight dimensions of wellness; Emotional, Environmental, Financial, Intellectual, Occupational, Physical, Social, and Spiritual.
I spend time getting to know your “ingredients.” Everyone’s ingredients are different. It is important that I understand the institutions that have shaped you (i.e. caregivers, education systems, religion, culture, peers, vocation, society, social media) and how they impact you today. It is important that I get to know you as a person, understanding your personal values, beliefs, and goals. In this way, I can provide you with individualized care to meet your unique needs while recognizing that you function as part of several larger systems.
Many of us need help with what we think is “okay.” The people who raised you are not unwounded. They have thoughts and opinions on the world based on their experiences and perception of those experiences. You were not born with the opinions/beliefs that you currently hold-neither were they.
Think about it: What would it look like if every part of your life was flourishing—your mental health, relationships, career, and personal growth? What if you woke up each day feeling balanced, excited, and fulfilled?
But let’s be real. Those limiting beliefs? Yeah, they’re like the emotional roadblocks standing in your way. They tell you, “You can’t do this” or “You’re not good enough.” But here’s the truth: we’re going to challenge those beliefs head-on.
Together, we’ll face them, work through them, and build you back up. We’re going to restore your hope—because that’s the first thing that needs to happen. Once we do that, we’ll get clear on how to get you from where you are now to where you want to be.
My emphasis will be placed on helping you learn to be your own therapists. Through in-session interventions and homework exercises (to be completed between sessions) we will explore your own thinking, problematic emotions, and behavior.
