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.
