In conjunction with psychotherapy, I often recommend various books, articles, and websites for clients to explore. Below is a list of some of these readings. None of these resources should be considered an alternative to psychotherapy; instead, they are ways of bolstering the work done in therapy.

 

In addition to the following list, I often share resources, articles, and ideas on my Facebook page and on Pinterest. Feel free to visit or “like” to receive updates on your Facebook feed.
