About Me
Hello! I am a licensed professional counselor and certified hypnotherapist in Texas, with over 7 years experience working as a clinical therapist. I am also an Army veteran having served 8 years. I have worked in community mental health clinics and in the court system. I also work with families in CPS (child protective services). I have worked with clients with a wide range of issues including depression, anger, anxiety, and stress. I have also worked with clients who suffer from bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, trauma and substance abuse.
I have an outgoing personality, I have two children of my own. I enjoy traveling, hanging out with friends, and creating spontaneous ways to have fun. I'm a firm believer in the law of attraction. What you put out there is what you get in return.
My counseling style is unconventional, consisting of a real approach to counseling. I utilize solution-focused, dbt, and cognitive behavioral therapy along with mindfulness. I evoke positive psychology to allow the client to look at the current situation and learn coping skills and various tools to navigate and find a solution that will be beneficial and have lasting results.
The first session will consist of building a rapport, determining the problem, and building a treatment plan based on your goals for therapy and where you are at the moment in your life. I also provide worksheets for you to do so I can learn more about you and your situation. You have to be consistent with yourself and put in the work in order for counseling to work. I look forward to helping you heal and break the barriers that have been holding you back.

Reviews
April gives real advice and when I had a session with her she has a logic based advice that I can really appreciate. When I sent her some messages of things that frustrate me throughout the day, she replies with logic that I can't argue with, and move on. April is awesome:)
April is a very attentive person. She takes the time to talk with you and suggests daily items to help build a better self perception. She was the first counselor assigned to me and I haven't even thought about moving on. She's amazing.
