Resources For Healing

Free tools, workbooks, and trusted support  whether we ever work together or not.

Healing doesn't only happen in a therapy office. Some of it happens at your kitchen table, late at night, with a pen in your hand and nobody watching.

The resources on this page are here for that. Some are free. Some you can buy.

A note about the workbooks below: they're published through Recovering You, my separate educational business. They are self-help and educational materials, not therapy, and they are not part of treatment. If you're a current client, there's no expectation that you buy anything here. Your care doesn't change either way.

I am a licensed clinical social worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate their mental health challenges. With a focus on depression, anxiety, trauma, and grief, I provide a safe and supportive environment for healing and recovery. My approach is rooted in empathy and evidence-based practices, ensuring that each client receives personalized care tailored to their unique experiences and needs.

Understanding Your Journey and Who You Became

If you’ve always been the easygoing one, the one who avoided conflict and kept the peace, it’s time to reflect on the cost of self-abandonment. What you thought was humility may have been a survival mechanism that served you well but now holds you back. Recognizing this pattern is the first step toward reclaiming your true self and finding the balance between caring for others and nurturing your own needs.

"I'm tired of being left licking my wounds. It feels so good to have boundaries and not worry about being abandoned."

"I can't believe I've been abandoning myself all these years just to be accepted by family and friends."

"Wow! I've always thought I had a pretty decent childhood. I never realized I was emotionally neglected growing up."

"I've been putting myself first and it feels good for once. I won't ever go back to people pleasing! I love the peace I've found."
