Coaching for lawyers: Sustainable High Performance in Practice
I practiced at Arnold & Porter for about a decade, so I know the pace, the pressure and the culture of law firm life firsthand. I went back to school for a Master of Applied Positive Psychology at Penn. For the last several years I’ve coached lawyers and worked with firms on healthy high performance, relationship building and team performance.
I work with associates, partners and firm leaders who are good at what they do but feel stretched thin. Clients often come to me when they’re stepping into a new leadership role, weighing a career move, managing a team for the first time, or trying to keep up the pace without burning out. We focus on what’s in your control: how you lead, how you spend your energy, how you build the relationships that matter to your practice, and what you want your career to look like.
My approach is practical and grounded in research. Sessions are confidential, conversational and focused on action between meetings. I’m an ICF credentialed coach and trained through the ACT Leadership Performance Coaching Certification with Brown University. Sessions are virtual, and I’m based in the DC area.
