THERAPY
Lawyer Therapy
Many lawyers leave the profession within seven years after starting out. There is no need to sugarcoat it; practicing law is highly demanding and stressful work. Your attitude and self-awareness go a long way in determining the satisfaction you experience as a lawyer. One key is balancing your professional ambitions with your desire for a happy and enriching personal life.
A Therapist Who Knows the Profession
"Sometimes you don’t know what you really need or want until you talk things through."
In my first career, I enjoyed practicing law in commercial law firms as well as teaching tax law. Now as a therapist, I have a unique understanding of what it takes to be a lawyer. I look forward to helping you navigate the complexities of having a legal career and a life.
Practicing law means providing quality service, meeting deadlines, and responding to demands from a variety of sources. I often work with individuals on the following:
-
Self-esteem and impostor syndrome
-
Maximizing income and satisfaction
-
Balancing home and family life
-
Responding to unreasonable time demands
-
Coping with erratic and insensitive superiors and co-workers
-
Changing jobs and careers
