Therapy for Women Lawyers

If you’re a lawyer who’s trying to manage an unpredictable schedule and feeling sleep deprived while responding to multiple matters, you may be contemplating how to keep going just a little bit longer, until you either find a new job, make partner, or simply quit.

That’s a lot to carry on your own. In fact, it’s exhausting to debate yourself and feel uncertain about your next move while trying to feel more comfortable in the interim.

My goal is to reduce your mental burden. You set the pace, you talk, and I listen. We carefully consider the barriers you might be facing today and what patterns from the past continue to persist that keep them in place.

We collaborate and identify a plan to support your mental health and lessen your distress, anxiety, burnout, and other challenges.

Get Started

What might be helpful to know is that I’ve been around lawyers in both my personal and professional life for decades. I have worked closely with the legal system, lawyers, and judges in my role as a co-parenting time coordinator, and I understand the unrelenting pressure of corporate law.

My intention 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.
