RESOURCES
In conjunction with psychotherapy, I often recommend various resources for clients to explore. Below is a list of some of these resources. 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. Feel free to visit or “like” to receive updates on your Facebook wall.
