April has been incredible with helping me work through some big issues that were getting in the way of me being able to be happy with myself and working on inner peace. I’ve worked with other therapists before and I feel like she’s been the only one that really listened to what I needed and she’s always, from day 1, been a great advocate of me and my well being.

April is so attentive and has been so efficient with our sessions. I especially appreciate the text message ability to check in with her during the week.

April pays close attention; listening and assessing body language and facial expressions as she assists in exploring underlying emotions and thought processes. She detects how individual experiences relate to core values and moral standards. April exhibits an experienced, professional, knowledgeable, and wholistic perspective on a wide spectrum of behavioral health topics. She is kind, empathetic, supportive, non-judgmental, and understanding. She challenges me and maintains a keen awareness of the therapeutic process.

April has been a blessing in my corner as I work through my emotions. She is a great listener and provides gentle guidance as I get stuck in some areas. Each day we talk I feel like I get closer to healing my pain and regaining confidence.

I’ve only been seeing April for 2 weeks and she has been amazing. I was very low after a lot of major life changes and therapy with her has been invaluable. I’m already feeling better and am confident it’s all up hill from here thanks to April!
