Therapy for Women Lawyers
I understand the high-stakes, analytical demands of the legal profession from both a personal and professional standpoint. In addition to having lawyers in my family, I've worked closely with the legal system and judges in my role as a co-parenting time coordinator.
Unlike many other therapists, I have firsthand experience and know what it’s like to sit through collaborative divorce team meetings and high-conflict negotiations. I also know what it’s like to support corporate lawyers, law students, and lawyers in other sectors in a therapeutic setting.
Approximately 60% of my therapy practice supports women lawyers.
My goal is to provide the highest level of discretion through virtual sessions so that you don’t have to worry about running into a client or colleague. Together, we address chronic stress, anxiety, overwhelm, and burnout. We also discuss the unique challenges you face and establish boundaries that align with your value system.
