Library

If you've seen my in-person or virtual offices you know I'm an avid reader (and self-proclaimed organization nerd—hello, rainbow order bookshelves!). I love sharing books that might be helpful to clients. Sometimes reading a book can be a great way to learn new things or solidify what we've uncovered in session. Below are some books that you might find helpful. They are loosely organized by category—some books fit into multiple categories, so feel free to browse them all. The library is updated regularly so feel free to come back periodically to check out what's new and interesting!
