She shares what she’s learned from working with vulnerable families, the hidden patterns and the misconceptions surrounding personality disorders in legal settings.We also explore rising challenges in her community—from homelessness to domestic violence—along with practical steps for parents building emotional resilience in their kids. And we even get into how running a law firm, a counseling practice, all fit into her own mental health journey.A thoughtful, honest conversation at the intersection of justice, trauma, and healing.
