Recommended Reading


The following is a list of books and workbooks I often use with clients (what is known as prescriptive bibliotherapy).
Because some subject matters can be confusing, challenging, or triggering, I recommend reading these with the guidance and support of a trauma-informed therapist. If you are interested in working with me, click here.
