LPC, 11 years of experience
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over ten years of mental health experience. I currently work with clients age 18 and older. What I’ve come to know and understand is that therapy is a profoundly personal process. During your journey and search for the right therapist, always remember you deserve to find a skilled professional with a style that suits your needs. Through understanding and validation, I strive to create an accepting, collaborative, and therapeutic environment for my clients while providing the skills needed to achieve meaningful change.
In our first session, please know and understand that I do not expect you to communicate everything there is to know about you. In your timing, you will communicate this to me, if you decide. We will start with brief introduction, then drive specific challenges you are facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Having worked in the field in different capacities in the past ten years, I’ve developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (1) identify the root cause of your challenges and (2) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
My goal is to ensure I create a safe environment for each and every client. I love working with all clients but at this time I am seeing clients age 18 and older. I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, adjustment and self-esteem. I love working with young professionals who are in the first few years of their careers. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their careers.
I use CBT to help clients understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. I focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, teaching practical coping skills, and supporting clients in making meaningful, real-life changes. My approach is structured, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s needs.
I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help clients identify strengths, clarify goals, and focus on what’s already working. Instead of spending time on the problem, I guide clients toward practical, future-focused steps that create quick, meaningful progress. The approach is collaborative, empowering, and centered on building solutions rather than dwelling on challenges.
I use DBT to help clients build skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and healthy communication. My approach focuses on balancing acceptance with change, helping clients manage intense emotions, reduce impulsive behaviors, and improve relationships through practical, structured skills.
I use psychoeducation to help clients understand their symptoms, diagnoses, and treatment options. By providing clear information and practical tools, clients feel more empowered, informed, and confident in managing their mental health.

I feel like I'm talking to a friend when I schedule with April - the friend that affirms but also calls me out on my stuff. And I need that style.

She's amazing. I am a therapist myself so I really just need someone to keep me accountable & to challenge me. She does that in the most authentic and realistic way for me. She is also well versed in her counseling ideologies and implementing those in an appropriate manner and when necessary. Love love love her as my therapist
