A pragmatic approach to therapy for high-stress professionals
Telehealth Therapy for Lawyers, Executives, and Film Industry Professionals in California and Washington, D.C.
Are you a professional at the top of your game who struggles to balance it all? I get it. My clients derive value from my training not just as a therapist, but also as a former attorney, skilled at asking important questions to help you better understand yourself.
My down-to-earth approach blends empathy with accountability, using our time intentionally to focus on change and understand the origins of recurring patterns that don’t serve you. Clients often describe leaving sessions feeling empowered and with a clear sense of next steps. I am purposeful and collaborative with clients, prioritizing needs together so we work efficiently as a team.
Sessions are virtual, making it easy to improve wellbeing without requiring a significant carve out from your busy schedule. I also offer sessions in Spanish. If you’re interested in therapy or have questions, please contact me to schedule a phone consultation.
Hello, I’m Yael
As a former attorney and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in assisting high-stress professionals, career-changers, and individuals struggling to find balance. My approach is tailored to each client, drawing from my diverse background and training to address their specific needs and values. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a foundation, I structure sessions to maximize effectiveness while incorporating humor and common sense. My goal is to alleviate stress promptly while delving into the root causes for sustainable solutions. With experience across various demographics and settings, I offer individual therapy for adults in both English and Spanish, grateful for the opportunity to support clients in achieving fulfillment in their lives and relationships.
Let’s Work Together.

Lawyers
I specialize in supporting lawyers facing anxiety, stress management, panic attacks, insomnia, and imposter syndrome. I understand the nuance of law firm dynamics and you don’t need to explain to me what a billable hour is and why you can’t just stop responding to all emails after 5:00 p.m. I offer practical strategies to navigate these challenges, promoting well-being and resilience in the demanding legal profession.

Executives
Staying ahead of the curve can be all-consuming. Anxiety, work-life balance, relationship issues, “analysis paralysis” — all while remaining competitive and managing others, are typical struggles my clients face. I help them confront these unique challenges head-on, using a tailored approach to regain control and balance in the ever-shifting world of business.

Film Industry Professionals
I specialize in aiding women in the film industry address stressors such as anxiety, stress management, depression, sleep deprivation, and balancing personal goals with professional ones. There are unique challenges that come from working in such a competitive creative space and I offer strategies to navigate these challenges, fostering resilience and promoting holistic well-being.
