As a spouse of a retired veteran, I have over 20 years of experience adapting to the lifestyle challenges that the military community encounters. I have helped many families successfully cope with the military lifestyle, relational struggles and raise special children.

Time has passed, and you are still in pain, not knowing what to do.
I have spent 20 years walking alongside those who grieve, and have traveled those tumultuous paths myself on several occasions. There is not one grief that resembles another, or one path for all. The truth is that this journey cannot be taken alone, as one needs support, empathy, and someone who can help them get unstuck if they stumble on a pitfall.

Hi! I’m April, and I have a special interest in supporting women through the unique challenges we may encounter across different stages of life. I also work with children ages five and up, as well as teens and adults who are facing all kinds of mental health challenges - things like anxiety, stress, trauma, school struggles, career confusion, health issues, or those “What is my life even right now?” moments.

A client once told me that finding the right therapist is like finding the right romantic partner and while therapy is not intended to be a long-term commitment, this metaphor highlights the need for trust, safety, and compatibility in both kinds of relationships. You need a skilled, experienced therapist who can build trust, create a safe space for you to work through hard things, and has the knowledge to help with your specific challenges. My style is direct, validating, and collaborative. If this resonates with you, I would be glad to chat to see if I am a good fit for your particular therapeutic needs.

Do you feel like there is more to life but not sure what it is your looking for? Or perhaps you are living a life that does not seem to fit who you really are. We all long for a life filled with purpose and meaning. Yet the quality of life we long for is often inhibited by a variety of internal and external struggles. Whether it be anxiety, depression, grief/loss or issues with life transitions I set out to work with you exploring ways to find relief from suffering. Beyond relief is the potential for a life enriched with hope, meaning and contentment that I desire to assist you in discovering.

The pressure is relentless. So is the feeling that you're facing it alone. Maybe there's a constant hum of anxiety, a loneliness that lingers even when you have people around. You've tried things. They help, until they don't. Fair warning: I'm not what most people expect. But then again, neither are most of my clients. The bigger surprise, for most of them, is that something finally works. The medication that was supposed to fix it — didn't. Suggesting more journaling about it felt like an insult. I get it.

Chronic Pain Therapists
How does chronic pain therapy work?
Engaging with a psychotherapist to help treat chronic pain does not mean that one’s pain is all in their head. Therapy for chronic-pain patients has been shown to benefit both the mind and the body, targeting physical symptoms and increasing daily functioning. In other words, for many, addressing their emotional health through therapy affects their physical health. A therapist can help a client challenge unhelpful thoughts about pain and develop new ways to respond to it, such as distraction or calming breathing techniques. Studies have found that therapy can be as effective as surgery for certain cases of chronic pain and many doctors recommend trying psychotherapy in advance of considering invasive surgery.
What are the most effective treatment options for chronic pain?
Stress, anxiety, depression, catastrophizing, ruminating, lack of activity, and social withdrawal all make chronic pain worse. Addressing these issues, research shows, can help people gain control over their pain symptoms. Therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, biofeedback, and mindfulness-based stress reduction, along with greater pain-management education, have been found to help people reduce fear and disability.
Are there new treatments for chronic pain?
Many cases of chronic pain, particularly those involving back pain, remain medically unexplained. But there is evidence that changes in the brain or nervous system are caused by previous physical ailments such as tissue damage; in such cases, the brain may continue to send out pain signals despite the physical cause having healed. To aid patients under these circumstances, a recently developed treatment known as pain reprocessing therapy (PRT) is designed to help the brain “unlearn” this response. A PRT practitioner helps individuals to reduce the “threat value” of their ongoing pain signals until they can reappraise them as less threatening and fear-inducing. They also help an individual to develop new emotional regulation skills.
How long does therapy for chronic pain take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from chronic pain, especially as there may be a range of physical and psychological causes for any individual’s discomfort, but most patients should expect to see a therapist for a number of weeks or months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions. Studies of pain reprocessing therapy found that many individuals’ experience of pain lessened in eight sessions over four weeks.
