About Autumn

Rooted Counseling · East Lansing

I BELIEVE THE BODY AND BRAIN ARE CAPABLE OF CHANGE AND HEALING

I believe this because my body and brain have changed after years of chronic pain and illness struggles.

Now, I specialize in working with neuroplastic symptoms, including chronic pain and other persistent mind-body conditions. These symptoms are real, and they are also changeable. Using Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), I help clients shift the brain-based patterns that contribute to ongoing symptoms and support lasting relief.

My work is trauma-informed and integrates approaches such as EMDR, Brainspotting, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Parts Work, and the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) along with principles from Polyvagal Theory. I also support clients experiencing anxiety, trauma, and stress-related concerns.

I am committed to creating an inclusive, respectful space for people of all identities and backgrounds, and would be honored to support you in your healing process.

Symptoms I commonly help with:

Chronic or persistent pain, including back, neck, hip, and pelvic pain
Headaches and migraines
Fibromyalgia and widespread pain

Hypermobility

IBS and other digestive symptoms
Chronic fatigue
Anxiety-related physical symptoms
Symptoms without a clear structural cause
