I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Los Angeles, working virtually throughout California.
Therapy for Lawyers
My motto: “Lawyers are people too." I work to support the human inside the lawyer so that you can perform better, find fulfillment and sustain your work and your life. We make room for what you're feeling and needing.
Our focus is on your wellbeing, or “being well” while you work hard. We can go deep or I can offer practical tools.
I've sat where you're sitting. Before becoming a therapist, I practiced law for 10 years—mostly in Big Law (Skadden & Wilson Sonsini) and as acting general counsel for eMachines, a public company.
I worked hard and billed a ton, including over 400 hours in a single month. “Work hard, play hard" was my motto. I loved it, though I ultimately left due to circumstances beyond my control. I address this transition and my health history on my About page.
I fundamentally understand what it's like to perform at the peak while facing the relentless pressures and demands of the legal profession.

Therapy for Individuals & Couples
Therapy that helps you feel seen, supported and understood.
You don’t have to be a lawyer to feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or disconnected from yourself or your relationships. Working together, we slow things down so you can tune into what’s happening beneath the stress, pressure, dissatisfaction or old patterns you’ve been carrying for years.
I offer a compassionate space where you can talk openly, without judgment or pressure.
My Approach:
Therapy that’s personal, attuned and truly supportive.
I don’t just listen. I hear you. I’m by your side.
