RESOURCES
The following are a list of books and resources I have collected throughout my career within my main areas of clinical focus. This list is not exhaustive, it is constantly growing and being updated. If you have something you would like to add, please send me a message!
Not everything on this list will resonate with you; I invite you to embrace what fits, and to leave what doesn’t.
Disclaimer: These resources are not a replacement for a therapeutic relationship or mental health and medical care. Information obtained from this page should not be considered a substitute for mental and medical evaluation by a credentialed and licensed professional.
If you are in immediate crisis, please contact a trusted friend, family member, therapist, your healthcare provider or call 911.
I make no income by recommending these resources. I simply love sharing them and making knowledge more accessible.
