BOOKS I WROTE
I’m not a writer… and I love to write
The first time I was invited to collaborate on a writing project it was 10 years ago, and I quickly said “no.” I didn’t think I was ready. 30-days later, I jumped into it. It was hard and completely worthy. I learned tons.
Over the years, my clients often asked me about relevant resources to our work; because of their request, my passion, and commitment to disseminate research-based skills, I started writing.
I honestly didn’t know what I was getting into because writing not only helped me to a better clinicians but it also lead me to discover a new passion of mine: translating into written format “how I work with my clients and the skills that are helpful to get them unstuck.”
The books I write are based on behavioral science, Acceptance and Commitment skills, affective science and organizational psychology. They’re also specialize books that target specific stuck points related to fear-based reactions such as: anxiety, procrastination, perfectionism, worry, OCD, emotion regulation, and so on.
I do my best to write in a jargon-free, real and practical style.
