Therapy for Lawyers in Seattle

The legal profession can be rewarding, but it is also demanding. Long hours, high expectations, difficult clients, adversarial environments, and constant pressure can take a toll on your mental health, relationships, and overall quality of life.

As a former attorney, I understand many of these challenges firsthand. Before becoming a therapist, I practiced law for nearly a decade. Today, I help attorneys, law students, and other legal professionals navigate stress, burnout, anxiety, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.

Many attorneys come to therapy feeling exhausted, disconnected, or stuck.

You may be experiencing:

• Chronic stress or anxiety 
• Burnout and emotional exhaustion 
• Difficulty disconnecting from work 
• Relationship strain 
• Perfectionism and self-criticism 
• Career dissatisfaction 
• Loss of purpose or fulfillment 
• Major life or career transitions 

Many lawyers are highly capable problem-solvers who are accustomed to handling challenges on their own. Therapy provides a space to step outside those demands and examine what is working, what is not, and what needs to change.

My approach is practical, conversational, and direct.

Rather than simply talking about problems, we work together to identify patterns, develop new strategies, and create meaningful change. Therapy can help you better understand yourself, improve relationships, manage stress more effectively, and build a life that feels more intentional and fulfilling.

The goal is not simply insight. The goal is change.

Many therapists work with attorneys. Few have actually practiced law.

My background as both a therapist and former attorney allows me to understand the realities of legal practice without needing a lengthy explanation. I understand the culture of the profession, the pressure to perform, and the tendency to prioritize achievement while neglecting personal well-being.
