I believe the strength for change already lies within you. Through the therapeutic process, you can grow and find balance between the mind, body and spirit. I work with individuals from a holistic and person-centered approach. I help to treat the roots of suffering rather than just focusing on the lingering symptoms. I also like to use emotionally-focused techniques to help loosen the grip of difficult emotions and cultivate inner peace, utilizing cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, and mindfulness-based interventions.
I am passionate about working with individuals that are experiencing emotional distress, depression, anxiety, transitional stress, trauma and relationship difficulties. Together, we can identify goals, help to foster insight and learn healthy ways/positive alternatives to cope with life's challenges.
I have been working in the field for over 17 years in various settings. I take a strength-based approach when meeting people where they're at, and work towards sustainable growth in skill building and understanding in an effort to be proactive in wellness for the mind and body.
When I'm not helping others, I'm gardening, hiking, baking, and enjoy music, art, and sports.

I felt an instant report with April when starting therapy and that continues to build with each session. This began in how she communicated before our sessions even began with her questions and working to understand where I was and what my needs were before we even had our first session. She is extremely easy to speak with and provides consistent feedback and perspective that I need. She has been fantastic to work with regarding needing some extra time to dig in to things that I feel are priorities for me right now.

April is empathetic, provides great feedback and is really engaged in all sessions. She provides resources such as handouts/readings that are helpful in between sessions. She also makes herself available on messenger and is prompt with her responses. Her availability is excellent and I have not had difficulty finding an appointment time with her. 100 percent recommend!
