Hello!! I'm Autumn and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has been practicing therapy with all age ranges over the past 9 years.
My goal is to develop a collaborative therapeutic relationship and to offer a safe space for you to be you!
My background is in working with behavioral health, attachment issues, family of origin concerns, family counseling as well as working with individuals on challenges of depression, anxiety, de-constructing negative core beliefs, feeling disconnected during life transitions, and trauma. I am also well versed in working with new parents on challenges of Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders.
I hope to be your therapist, but I want you to know I don't have all the answers. The process of our work together will be based in collaboration, where I may offer suggestions from time-to-time, but I will never tell you what to do. I firmly believe that it is your life to live and they are your choices to make. I am simply waking along side of your journey through your challenges, being your supporter and safe space, so you can learn to more fully participate in your life again.
I will help you clarify your goals and values, support you with having a better understanding of your thoughts and feelings, assist you to deprogram and balance out the negative beliefs and stories you have been telling yourself, so that you can see that your answers are already inside of you.
I am a very open, easy-going and non-judgmental person and will encourage you to be gentle with yourself as you move through your therapy goals. I will encourage you to share with me how I can best support you, ranging from needing time to just vent and process to needing me to create more structured sessions and treatment plans. I will utilize techniques ranging from psychodynamic, CBT, ACT, mindfulness, body-awareness and Solution-Focused theory, as I full-heartedly believe in utilizing eclectic practices to best support you with what you might need at any given moment during our time together.
I truly look forward to meeting you and collaborating about our work together.
