We often try to deny and reject our past instead of embracing it, sometimes leading to self-doubt, negative thoughts and memories that can hinder us. Through collaboration and self-determination, we can reignite the drive that still lies within, so that we can increase your self-esteem, replace negative thoughts with positive thinking, and process those memories together. You are not alone. April has always been passionate about helping others achieve their goals for better mental health. From assistance with daily stressors to feelings of hopelessness, each client is unique and deserves a therapeutic journey tailored to them.
April specializes in trauma-informed care and PTSD, crisis intervention/management, depression, and anxiety. She also has other clinical experience including assisting with relational problems, child and adolescent issues, LGBTQIA+ related stressors, stress management, life transitions, and cultural/identity concerns.
April brings non-judgement, kindness and patience with her into sessions. She encourages her clients to practice self-work both in and out of sessions to build a stronger foundation for a healthier self. Sometimes we need others to hear our stories, so that we can heal from them and finally turn a new page. So what's your story? Let's get into this healing.
