In conjunction with psychotherapy, I often recommend various books, articles, and websites for clients to explore. Below are
some books, podcasts, and resources I have found to be useful for various aspects of the therapeutic journey. 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 suggestions, I often share resources, articles, and ideas on my Instagram Page.
Feel free to VISIT or FOLLOW.
