The fact that you’re even here reading my bio is huge. For many, taking the step towards (re)entering counseling can feel scary and that is perfectly okay. My desire is to meet you wherever you are, because it is only then that we can begin taking the steps to move towards the person you want to be and creating the life you want to live. Often times, we can get caught in a cycle of trying to rid ourselves of distressing thoughts, feelings, and emotions to no avail. Therefore, I like to take the approach of improving our relationships with our thoughts and feelings that way, whether they stay or go, we can create a fulfilling life!

Are you going through a life transition, experiencing stress, and have feelings of anxiety or depression? Or do you struggle with an addiction? Life can be tough and the stress can be difficult deal with. It is not uncommon for this to make us feel isolated, alone, downhearted, and distressed. Imagine if you didn't have to feel this way. It can be a challenge, but people can feel healthy, happy, and "better".

Life can feel overwhelming when you’re constantly battling anxiety, depression, or the lasting effects of trauma. The weight of expectations—at work, at home, or in relationships—can leave you feeling stuck, frustrated, or disconnected. If you’re navigating recovery from addiction or struggling with issues unique to men’s mental health, it’s easy to feel like no one understands what you’re going through. You don’t have to face these challenges alone, and it’s okay to seek support.

Our world is full of dynamic neurodiversity, but the spaces in which we live, work, and play are not always inclusive of an array of neurotypes. This can lead to psychological suffering when we feel boxed into "neurotypical" expectations. This can also create real barriers to accessing sustainability or success within domains of education, employment, and relationships. Moxie Spectrum Psychology is client-centered, strengths-based, and focused on celebrating & exploring neurodiversity, while increasing access to environmental and social supports when needed.

FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
Is one ever too old for mental health therapy?
Individuals of all ages can benefit from mental health therapy. Indeed, older adults in particular may benefit from the social and psychological support a therapist can provide; the topics that older adults address in therapy may simply differ from those of younger clients. Seniors should seek out a therapist who has experience working with older individuals and who is well-versed in addressing common concerns among elderly individuals, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and physical mobility challenges.

How is counseling for seniors and the elderly different from counseling for other age groups?
In general, counseling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. Therapists who specialize in working with elderly clients generally have the same framework but may place a special emphasis on specific topics, such as caregiver relationships and reducing loneliness. They may be specially equipped to deal with certain physical conditions or facilitate discussion surrounding end-of-life topics. Counseling for the elderly may also place a greater emphasis on social work-type topics to ensure that geriatric clients have access to necessary resources, such as food, a safe home environment, and healthcare.

How can therapy improve the quality of life of aging individuals?
Therapy for aging adults can greatly improve quality of life by providing an opportunity for them to process difficult emotions related to end-of-life, navigate relational or caregiver challenges, and develop coping skills for common mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. Subsequent reductions in negative emotions and mental health disorder symptoms can make day-to-day living much more manageable for aging adults and those that care for them. The ongoing relationship with a trusted therapist can also help seniors combat loneliness and provide a sense of structure for their routine.

What are the qualities to look for in therapists who see seniors?
Seniors counselors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counselors specializing in working with the senior population should be very familiar with the aging process in general and the common conditions that the elderly can face, such as dementia, depression, loneliness, and/or physical illness. Many senior counselors are also well-equipped to help caregivers and families navigate the aging process of their loved ones, and they may draw on Interpersonal Therapy to help facilitate improved interactions between seniors and those that care for them.
