Who this is for

Therapy for Women Attorneys
Who Are Done Sustaining This

I work with women who are successful in their careers but overwhelmed by the combined demands of work and home. Most are carrying the majority of responsibility in both places — dealing with chronic exhaustion, anxiety, or major life shifts like a late ADHD diagnosis or perimenopause. This is often happening while continuing to perform at a high level in every visible way.

The specifics

Who This Work Is
a Good Fit For

I work exclusively with women in law. The women who reach out are typically managing demanding careers alongside a disproportionate share of domestic and family responsibility. Most are the default parent. Many are also carrying the psychological weight of client work — absorbing other people's crises professionally without a place to process that experience.

What tends to bring you here: anxiety that's been your baseline for so long you've stopped naming it, a late ADHD diagnosis that explained a lot and complicated even more, perimenopause that's making a previously difficult life feel genuinely unmanageable, or the slow realization that understanding what's wrong hasn't been enough to change it.

You're likely analytically sharp and self-aware. You probably already know exactly what's happening. What you haven't had is someone to help you move through the gap between knowing that and actually doing something about it.

• You perform well everywhere and feel least capable in your own life
• You've been in therapy before, left with better insight, and not much actually changed
• You're managing most of what happens at home regardless of how things look from the outside
• You've hit a point where keeping things going the way they have been is no longer acceptable
• You want to be challenged, not accommodated

The work itself

Therapeutic Approach
& Style

I work primarily from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Feminist Therapy. ACT is values-based and action-oriented — less focused on understanding why you're stuck, more focused on what you're actually going to do. Feminist Therapy means the structural context of your life stays on the table. The double standard is real. The mental load is unevenly distributed. I'm not going to pretend otherwise — and I'm also not going to let that become a permanent explanation for staying where you are.

I provide individual therapy exclusively. Sessions are active. You'll be challenged. You won't spend time managing how you come across.

Background

Credentials
& Experience

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 22 years of clinical experience. For more than 15 years, I've worked extensively with women in the legal profession navigating chronic stress, burnout, and role overload. I've worked with attorneys across practice areas including litigation, family law, and high-conflict client environments. I have substantial experience with anxiety, late-diagnosed ADHD, perimenopause, and trauma-related stress that accumulates in high-stakes, client-facing work.
