I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Your goals are of utmost importance, and understanding barriers that could be in the way is often the path to success. Issues such as depression, anxiety, panic attacks, excessive worry, substance misuse, work-related stressors, and life transitions of every kind are the focus areas of my practice.

My therapist has lived experience, so she knows what she's talking about. She seems curious and approaches our discussion with kindness and has given me actual guidance, with suggestions of how I can work on my issues on my own between sessions too. Her method is already proving to be helpful and I feel like I click with her. I don't feel embarrassed about sharing things and I am beginning to feel lighter. I am so grateful

I genuinely care for my clients and work diligently to help them manage, cope, and identify tools they can use immediately, and ultimately find the answers they seek.

I have recommended April to friends. April’s approach to helping others is professional and caring, but honest and not patronizing. Her ability to understand her client and their needs is exactly what I needed. She doesn’t just tell me what I want to hear but instead gives me what I need to hear. It’s refreshing to have help that isn’t sugarcoated textbook information - it is actually a direct response to what I’m going through. April and I have covered some deep pain and serious conflict, and while it is hard to do, I trust that I am in good hands with her.
