Recommended Therapy Resources
Finding reliable therapy resources can feel overwhelming- especially when you are navigating grief, trauma, or emotional distress. This is a curated collection of therapy resources that are thoughtful, supportive, and aligned with the work I do as a grief and trauma therapist. The therapy resources listed here are ones I personally recommend and often share with clients.
This page is meant to complement, not replace, therapy. Think of it as an extension of the therapeutic space: a place to find trusted resources to support you between sessions, during difficult moments, or while you are exploring additional care.
