HELPFUL RESOURCES

Often times much of the work of therapy is done outside of the therapy session.  I may ask clients to do things between sessions that help them to reach their goals more efficiently, and for those who enjoy reading and find it helpful, I will suggest appropriate resources that allow clients to expand their knowledge and assist with healing.  By no means exhaustive, here are some that I find most helpful:
