About Provider

About Autumn

My name is Autumn, and I was a peer support for 10 years before I became a clinician. I received my master's of social work from Salem State University, and I enjoy working with people who are creative and emotional. I have worked with people managing depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma/PTSD, bipolar, and schizoaffective disorder. I love to see my clients connecting to social supports, exploring their interests, and building relationships. 

My primary focus is on client empowerment. This includes helping to identify environmental factors oppressing your growth and healing, how to navigate imperfect systems to meet your needs, and community building—because healing is not individual work. Healing happens with other people, within communities and relationships. Modalities I use include CBT, DBT, ACT, solution-focused brief therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy. 

I can't wait to find the spark of inspiration that lights you up and helps you feel confident to follow your heart. Even one session might help you begin making amazing changes.

Get to know Autumn

Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?

My goal is to help people connect with themselves and with others. 

What types of clients do you work best with?

LGBTQIA+, sensitive and highly emotional people.

What's one thing you wish all clients knew about therapy, mental health, or the healing process?

I wish everyone had a therapist for helping to gain perspective and navigate the everyday waters of life. You don't need to wait until there is a problem to start building a therapeutic relationship.

What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?

 The first session, or several sessions, is an open-ended space for you to share what are the most pressing concerns that have brought you to talk with me.

What personal experiences or values inform your practice as a therapist/provider?

I value human life, and human strife, and the power of the relationships we build when we face life's challenges and celebrations together.

How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs? 

No matter what has brought you to talk with me, I will offer my caring and support, and that will never change from client to client. But many other aspects of therapy can be altered or swapped to fit more specific needs.
