I have been working with April for a couple months, she has helped me immensely in gaining new insights into myself. She demonstrates compassion, and great skill in guiding and encouraging me to uncovering a deeper knowledge of who I am. I end every session feeling understood, and having a greater understanding of myself, and also having a direction to continue y journey. I am a retired therapist, and for me finding someone that, not only I feel connected to but also has the gifts and skills to facilitate growth, is usually difficult!
