Hi there, I'm April!

Hello and welcome! I’m a licensed therapist with over 10 years of experience working with adults, children, and teens. My practice focuses on helping individuals navigate and overcome anxiety and depression, particularly when these challenges arise from family dysfunction, abusive relationships, or trauma. I strive to offer a compassionate and personalized approach, creating a safe space for you to explore your feelings and work towards healing. My goal is to support you in finding clarity, strength, and a path forward on your journey.

My approach

We'll work together in a client centered, collaborative approach to help you regain control of your life, find peace and face the world with confidence again. I provide a compassionate and personalized approach that includes traditional therapeutic interventions like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Trauma-Informed Care.

My journey to mental healthcare

Being a therapist has always been a calling for me. My early experience growing up in a chaotic influenced me later to want to provide awareness about mental health and trauma. I'm passionate about what I do and am honored to be part of people's healing journeys.

My goals for you

I will help you identify goals for our work together, and uncover your strengths and what has worked in the past to help you build confidence in making improvements for the future.

My first session with you

In our first session together I'll invite you to share what's bringing you to therapy and if there's a specific problem or goal you'd like to address, I'll ask questions to help get a brief sketch of your life story including any previous therapy you might have had.
