About me
I am a Clinical Social Worker who has worked both inpatient mental health and outpatient doing counseling with individuals of all ages and backgrounds. I work with mood disorders, psychosis and paranoia, anxiety, and personality disorders. However, I don't believe we are just bound by a diagnosis, so I am here to help with any issues or challenges that come along. I provide a true listening ear and empathy.
My therapy style is laid back and compassionate. We are a team, and I want you involved in every step of the process. You decide what you want to work on, and I'm here to guide you on your journey. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to assist in the process of growth and evolution. Therapy does include a gentle nudge here and there to help with the growth, but you are in control of the process. I believe in open and honest communication and you will be treated respectfully throughout all interactions.
Therapy will help you step into your power. I would be honored to be a part of this process with you. I look forward to meeting you!

April has exceeded my expectations she is a wonderful therapist
Written on Apr 19, 2022 after therapy with Apryl for 6 months on issues concerning relationship issues, and coping with life changes
Apryl listens to my thoughts completely and is very open to my thoughts and concerns. When I have appointments with her it feels more like talking to a friend being able to openly express my feelings. You never feel judged or scrutinized! Apryl is always very caring and concerned asking the right questions and the right time.

Apryl is a fantastic counselor. She listens with such empathy, and her insights into myself an my relationships with others have helped navigate a difficult time in my life that in a way that I never would have been able to without her. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
