Library

Welcome to the library! If you've visited my in-person or virtual office, you already know I'm an avid reader (and a total organization nerd—hello, rainbow-ordered bookshelves!). I love sharing books that might be helpful, and many of the titles here come from client suggestions, too.

 

Reading can be a wonderful way to explore new ideas or reinforce what we've covered together in session. This library is updated regularly, so come back periodically to check out what's new and interesting!

 

How to use the library: Below you'll find books organized by category. By default, the full book list is displayed. Looking for something in particular? Just click on a category button below (you can also choose multiple categories). To get back to the full list, click "SHOW ALL BOOKS." To learn more about the categories click here.

 

Happy browsing—and happy reading!

Note: I do not receive any financial compensation for the books listed here—these are simply resources I (and clients) have found valuable and want to share.
