About me

Hello!
Starting therapy is a brave decision and I want to acknowledge your commitment to your well -being. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of New York who is passionate about helping people with life difficulties. Change is possible and I would like to welcome you to Better Help!

I have a master’s degree in Social Work from Syracuse University as well as a Bachelor of Science degree in Child and Family Studies with a minor in Psychology. It is important to understand that I can not provide any medical advice in regards to psychotropic medications or medical health conditions. I will create a space free from judgment for you to share your thoughts and feelings and support you in the decisions that you feel are best for you.

I love what I do and I am excited and honored to hold space for you to share and process what is happening in your life. Together we will make a plan that works for you and moves at your own pace. All the best!

April is a guiding light and beings such care and gentleness that I’ve very much appreciated throughout my time with her.
She’s helped we rediscover what I’m capable of and I’m thankful everyday for her support.

I highly recommend April! She was an amazing counselor for the 4 months I worked with her. She did a great job breaking down information/tips/suggestions in a way that was helpful and understandable. I most enjoyed learning techniques to use when dealing with conflict in my marriage. It was especially cool that April would sometimes tell me what my husband might have been thinking (due to his reaction); and then while speaking with my husband he would say the same exact thing April had told me during our session! It was crazy because she has never spoken to my husband and was able to help me understand him and his reactions better. Thank you April for all of your dedication and help to prepare me to keep running for “my marathon” aka marriage!

Ms. Freeman is completely invested when I am speaking and sharing. She actively looks for ways to support me. Even if I may be down on myself about my progress, Ms. Freeman remains supportive and encouraging. I also appreciate that she makes time for me despite our extreme time differences.

April helped me through the most difficult time in my life thus far by providing insight, highlighting my patterns, helping me regain confidence, and consistently assuring me that I'm worthy of love and capable of loving someone else. She is patient and has a kind demeanor and has made me laugh on many occasions. She was a perfect fit and I would recommend her to anyone!

I had the pleasure of working with April for about a year.

Now that our time together has come to and end, I can’t help but wonder where I would be if I did not take the leap to try BetterHelp and be placed with April as my therapist. I am grateful to be where I am now with her help.

We started the year by setting goals of where I would like to be emotionally and mentally. Her support has allowed me to nurture my own healing in ways I once doubted. She often provided resources and other prompts that I still find helpful today. April is a caring and devoted therapist.

I would absolutely recommend.
