I am a Marriage, Child and Family therapist licensed in California with over 17 years of experience working as a mental health clinician. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral therapy, and family systems theory. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

April has been very helpful through my struggles. She listens very well and always has something to help with. There is always an action to do to help with a situation. So not only do we talk, but we put the words into action. Doing the work is hard, but she gives you the tools to help make it a little easier.
