After five years of trying to move forward after the most important person in my life died by suicide, I felt stuck in my grief. I had tried therapists, but nothing really seemed to help me move forward. Then, within the last year, my mother died suddenly as well. I knew I couldn’t keep living the way I had been. I needed a real change and someone to help guide me through such a painful journey. Working with Autumn has been completely different from anything I had tried before. She doesn’t just talk during the session and send you on your way. She gives thoughtful things to work on during the week, which makes the work continue long after the hour is over. If our sessions run longer, it’s never an issue. She also truly listens and remembers things I’ve said weeks earlier, bringing them back in ways that show she genuinely cares and is paying attention. Because of this work, I feel like I’m beginning to live life again. It’s not about “getting over” grief or moving on from the people we’ve lost. It’s about learning how to carry that grief and still live a meaningful life. I’m incredibly grateful for the guidance, support, and compassion Autumn has given me during one of the hardest periods of my life.
