Hi, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) residing in North Carolina. I’ve been a social worker for almost 30 years. I’ve been working within the mental health field since 2007. I have a bachelor’s degree in social work from Campbell University and a master’s degree in social work from East Carolina University. Social work is a big part of my life and how I identify myself professionally and personally. Why? Because being a social worker is more than the work we do. Social work is all about humanity! I feel honored to have found a career that I’m passionate about and love doing it. My most important professional accomplishment is becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, especially since I was first generation college student. If we ever meet professionally you will get to know how I implement my personal triumph to help others clinically. I help individual gain insight on how to manage their mood and behaviors to live their desired life.
In our first session together, we'll start with introductions and explore any challenges you have been facing. We will come up with a plan specifically for you that will help me provide the best therapeutic approach for you in follow-up sessions.
My therapeutic secret is no judgement. I accept you as you are. My guidance is based on your goals.
I enjoy working with people of all ages who are new to therapy and looking for coping strategies. Life provides a magnitude of things to talk about I'm here to provide a safe therapeutic space for you to share your thoughts and feelings about the challenges you are experiencing and get guidance on how to manage them.

What brought me to therapy is that I saw that I needed to talk to someone outside of my family and friends to get help with my feelings. April listened and provided the tools to help me start to feel better and that’s something I love. She gave different approaches to help me with what I am currently feeling and see if it will work for me.
