Hi there, I'm April!
I see counseling as a process in which you, the client, and I, the counselor, having come to understand and trust one another, work as a team to explore and define present problem situations, develop future goals for improved life, and work systemically toward realizing these goals.
My focus
I have a special interest in working with individuals healing from trauma (both past and present), anxiety, depression, and addiction issues. I have significant experience working with the opiate-addicted population, having spent years providing services in a medication-assisted treatment program.
My approach
I approach counseling from a cognitive-behavioral perspective in that patterns of thoughts and actions are explored to understand your perspective better and to develop solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Reality Therapy, EMDR, and DBT are used when applicable.
