Journals & Guided Workbooks

Journaling can be one of the most accessible and powerful tools for self-reflection—and when it’s guided by evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, or mindfulness, it becomes a gentle extension of the therapy room.

These journals and workbooks are thoughtfully chosen to help you explore your thoughts, build emotional regulation skills, and connect with yourself more intentionally. They’re ideal for between-session work, solo discovery, or simply having a safe space to land each day.

Mind-Body Tools and Practices

Emotional healing doesn’t just happen in the mind—it lives in the body, too. This collection bridges nervous system regulation, somatics, and embodied wellness practices.

These tools and reads are for anyone curious about how anxiety, burnout, trauma, or emotional overwhelm show up in the body—and how to gently unwind those patterns with breath, rest, and body-based awareness.


Therapy-Informed Books

These are books I frequently recommend as a therapist—not to replace the work of therapy, but to support it. Each one is grounded in research, written by trusted experts, and selected with care for people navigating anxiety, relationships, trauma, burnout, or identity shifts.

Think of this as your self-guided reading room—where clinical wisdom meets real-life healing. Whether you’re deep into your therapy journey or just getting curious, these reads are here to offer insight, language, and reflection when you need it most.
