Attorney Career Wellness
Build a more sustainable and satisfying career
Your career should support the work you value, the life you want, and the options you need for the future.
I help experienced attorneys examine how and where they work, expand their career options, and make strategic decisions about what comes next.
What career wellness means in my work
Career wellness means examining how well your working life fits your priorities, supports your development, and remains sustainable over time.
My approach considers your workload, compensation, professional relationships, growth, and responsibilities outside work. We identify what you want to preserve, what needs to change, and which choices deserve closer attention.
You do not have to leave legal practice to build a better career. Your next step might involve a different firm, role, practice setting, schedule, or set of expectations. Another career direction might deserve consideration, too.
Sustainable practice
Build a working life you want to sustain.
We examine the demands and rewards of your work, including hours, availability expectations, autonomy, compensation, and professional support. We consider which changes are realistic within your current role and which would require a different setting.

What needs to change for your work to fit your priorities more closely?
Career transitions
Evaluate your next move with clear criteria.
We compare staying, changing roles, moving between practice settings, or exploring work beyond legal practice. We examine transferable skills, financial considerations, timing, and the information you need before making a commitment.

Experience informs my approach
My perspective draws on experience as a Biglaw M&A attorney, legal recruiter, talent acquisition executive, and law school career development leader.
