Therapy you need to feel like yourself again.
I offer therapy for women lawyers, law students, and other professionals in New York and New Jersey who long for the real thing—to speak freely without performing, question authority, and reconnect with being human again. Beneath the competence is a person who wants to stop existing for their job and start living their life.
Therapy for Women Lawyers and Professionals in New York & New Jersey
You’re a stellar professional…
But somewhere along the way, between the late nights and the daily grind, you may have learned to ignore your needs. Maybe it’s hard to recognize the person you once were in college or to remember the last time you had a romantic evening with your partner. But behind the billable hours and late-night calls, there’s you.
Maybe you are feeling
Tired from trying to prove yourself to everyone around you.
Anxious about taking time off or going on a vacation.
Distant from your relationships, your family, or even yourself.
Overwhelmed by the constant demand for your time, energy, or expertise.
If this sounds familiar, we can talk about what your work has asked of you and what you’ve learned to push aside. We can slow down and make room for what you think, feel, and want, especially when it’s hard to say those things out loud.
Therapist for the Legal Profession and Licensed Professionals in New York & New Jersey
I specialize in supporting highly accomplished professionals, with a focus on women lawyers. From firsthand experience, both personal and professional, I deeply understand the enormous responsibility and pressure that come with being a professional who listens, analyzes, and shapes outcomes.
As a therapist for over 20 years, I have extensive knowledge and experience to guide lawyers and licensed professionals to do more than adapt and cope. I’m an active participant in therapy. I bring both instinctive understanding and clinical focus to our work. I don't just sit with you while you're in emotional distress. I listen deeply, respond with compassion, ask questions. At times, I draw on metaphors and challenge your thinking.
I take a genuine interest in your well-being and want to see and understand who you are behind your professional identity.
What It’s Like To Work Together
It’s often liberating to feel seen. I see therapy as a chance to release what you’ve been carrying all day or all week, a space to be yourself without having to satisfy or please another person. Through mutual dialogue, feedback, and honesty, it’s possible to go beyond the usual standard of success and shift to what else matters to you. Whether that’s playing with your kid, seeing your aging grandmother, or simply reading a novel under a lamp, we bring you back into the picture.
As we continue our sessions, curiosity about what’s driving your professional habits, your need for perfectionism, and your tendency to overextend yourself emerges. I might use humor or direct questions to help you become aware of how certain behaviors actually keep you stuck and how you manage emotions or how you deny them. I might also help you begin to make different choices. It’s possible that frustration and anger at yourself can surface, but so can deeper understanding, appreciation, and patience.
Over time, you may notice changes in how you connect with yourself, stop harsh thoughts from consuming your entire day, set better boundaries, and utilize what you’ve learned and integrated to protect your mental health and prioritize yourself and your loved ones.
