Resources for Therapists

These days I am spending my time working on a book project due October 2023. I've slowed down on leading training as I focus all my energy on meeting my deadline.

​

If you are looking to connect, I am available for consultation. You are also welcome to shoot me an email to just say hi :). Wish me luck! ​
