I am a private criminal defense attorney who has been practicing for over 18 years. I represent juveniles charged in state court and adults charged in federal court.
I have always practiced with full heart. One of my biggest challenges has been to balance the empathy and compassion that I feel for my clients with the reality of the injustices that they will face in going through the system. If you are a criminal defense attorney, you understand exactly what I mean.
I always want to protect them more than is possible. Facing that reality day after day, year after year, while shouldering the immense workload and stress that come with the practice of law, has taken a toll on my body and soul.
I have found a variety of supportive measures that have helped me bring more balance, health and wellness into my life while maintaining my authentic compassionate personality. I want to share these life hacks with you in hopes that any, or all, of them can provide you relief.
I also wanted to create a supportive community in honor of the amazing women (and men!) who have helped me along the way.
