Welcome!

I’m so glad you’re here.

These are resources that I have used and that my clients and students have shared with me over the years. It’s a living list, too! When I find something helpful, or someone makes a recommendation, I add it to this page.

Feel free to use any of the sites, articles, books, and talks you find helpful.

If you have a recommendation, click the button at the bottom of the page and fill out the form so I can add it to the list. The more people I hear from, the more resources I can share with anyone who might need them.
