Resoruces

I'm a big believer in Biblio-therapy (the use of reading books to assist in healing mental health issues.) Books can be powerful catalysts for change, inspiring us to move forward and more actively engage in our own healing. There are also many other resources to help clients on their healing journey.  Below are some of the best resources I have gathered in my 20 years of experience that I hope will assist you greatly on your path to health and wholeness.


Helpful Books - General Trauma

These books are my top picks.  They are written for clients and provide an important bridge to get you from where you are to where you want to be.  They are full of useful information about trauma and include many actionable items for clients to do to heal from the past.  They are useful for clients who experienced any type of trauma.
