LCSW, 8 years of experience
My name is April, and I have been working in the mental field for 8 years now. I have worked in several different settings including schools, hospitals, and community mental health agencies. My primary focus has been trauma informed treatment. I utilize EMDR therapy (eye movement desensitization reprocessing) to inform my practice with treating trauma and other mental health symptoms.
At the start of treatment I provide background about how treatment might look, ask clients what they need from me as their therapist, but my main focus is fostering an emotionally safe environment by working on the therapeutic relationship.
I believe some of my greatest strengths as a mental health provider is my ability to meet the client where they are at and my emotional attunement to client’s needs.
I feel that anyone can benefit from treatment. I have expertise working with adolescents and young adults. Many have have tried several types of therapy with little to no progress. With a trauma informed approach to treatment, the real healing can take place and that is my focus with clients.
I am EMDR basic trained and am in the process of becoming certified. I have been practicing EMDR for almost 2 years utilizing this method in individual therapy. I use EMDR to treat PTSD and other mental health symptoms stemming from trauma or even dysfunction environments growing up. I use an attachment/safety lens to inform my practice. I work with individuals across the lifespan, however my area of expertise is with adolescents and young adults.

Friendly, easy to talk to, and takes the time to really listen to and process what I’m saying.
