I’m beyond thrilled to announce that I’ve officially signed a contract for my textbook, 

Empathy in Action: Building Skills for Counseling and Helping Relationships!

Link to future textbook site: https://empathyinpractice.com/

This book is designed for counselors, psychotherapists, and educators who want to deepen their understanding of listening and attending skills through an empathetic lens. It explores how we cultivate meaningful connections in a world where cross-platform communication (video, text-based, hybrid, and emerging digital spaces) is not just an option but the norm.

With a focus on practical strategies, real-world applications, and relational approaches, Empathy in Action will help counselors build essential skills to foster trust, presence, and attunement across all communication formats. In an era of evolving technology, this book bridges the gap between traditional therapeutic skills and the realities of modern counseling spaces.
