Therapists in Shirley, MA

Do you feel stuck? Lost? Depressed? All of us experience difficult times at some point in our lives, but for some these challenges can be overwhelming. At Mass Behavioral Health Center, our skilled professionals can help you heal your mind and reclaim your life.

To establish a relationship with a therapist takes time and can be rewarding when you are able to build trust, knowing you are able to confide and share your perspective, your story. This process allows the individual the opportunity to gain clarity in a setting that is confidential and accepting. All too often emotional/physical pain can have a significant impact on our ability to remain independent, self-reliant, engaged in everyday tasks and life roles at level of independence that is rewarding to oneself and those they care for. As an Occupational Therapist with a background in behavioral health, I take a holistic approach.

In my over 20-year career, I have committed my career to advocating and supporting the emotional and mental health needs of various communities. Since obtaining my master’s in social work from the University of New England, I have worked with a variety of clients primarily focused on latency and adolescent-age children and individuals who identify as part of the LGBTQ plus or gender-questioning community.

I specialize in alcohol and other drug addictions, adolescent and young adult issues, and help people see their behavior realistically so they use what they learn to improve their lives.

Making life changes or healing from different types of pain can be incredibly difficult, and I am here to help guide you through. My goal is to provide each and every one of my clients with a safe and supportive environment where they can explore any issues that are holding them back from living a better life. Let's get you started on the path to better living.

I am passionate about helping people improve their well-being and regain a sense of hope. Trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), I help clients improve sleep by exploring beliefs and circadian rhythm dysfunctions that hinder sleep. CBT-I is a powerful protocol that the American College of Physicians recognizes as the first-line treatment for adults with chronic insomnia. In addition to sleep therapy, I utilize biofeedback to train heart rate variability (HRV), which aids in regulating nervous system functioning, decreasing anxiety, enhancing emotional regulation, and improving stress management.

Now accepting new clients: I'm a licensed Mental Health Clinician who focus on assisting individuals managing depression, anxiety and Trauma. I help clients navigate life's challenges and find hope for change. Let's work together to build the skills needed for a happier and more fulfilling life.

Counseling Resources started in Rhode Island as a small practice serving the northern RI community. It grew exponentially over the years, and the level of skill and knowledge the clinicians provided was unmatched in the area. The practice was dedicated to helping all walks of people. Referrals came from doctors' offices, word of mouth, insurance companies, the state, and other resources. It was an enjoyment and an honor to serve the hundreds of patients the practice served. The work that was done was truly remarkable. Now, after many years of other ventures, Counseling Resources (although has been open for a few years) is OPEN!

I will work collaboratively with you to build off of those strengths and experiences to develop goals that matter to you and solutions that fit who you are.
