Are you feeling stuck? Anxious? Overwhelmed? Depressed? In life, there are times we find ourselves in places we didn't expect, such as: job loss, career fatigue, postpartum depression, lack of direction or goals, experiencing infertility, or the loss of someone precious and dear to you.

April is an amazing therapist. She helped me deal with my anger and gave me helpful tools on dealing with that and my sensory issues.

April is such a kind and compassionate counselor! I am so thankful for our time together. I was going through a time of a lot of transition and April helped provide input and tools that really helped me get clarity and understanding. She has also been very communicative and responsive and it was so helpful during this time.
