I am licensed in the states of Florida and Pennsylvania. To see my other certifications, please refer to my bio. I live in Florida and have over 25+ years of experience in both the mental health and the medical professions. I have worked in private practice as well as hospital and outpatient settings over the years and have experience with depression, anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, career related issues, medical and chronic pain issues, eating disorders and addictions. I have not met a client that I haven't enjoyed working with. My career goal has always been to be a therapist-it's just who I am. I am comfortable utilizing many different approaches depending upon the individual and their presenting issue. Some of those include: Cognitive Behavioral; Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT); Humanistic; Psychodynamic: Behavioral; Solution-Focused or Brief therapy; or Trauma based to name, but a few. The most important thing for me though, is to gain your trust. If you aren't comfortable talking with me and don't feel like I understand you, it doesn't matter what approach I use or what credentials I have, it's not going to work for you. So, the main thing I do in the beginning is to take a little time to build trust between us so you feel that this is a safe space. I am very open and honest and I strongly encourage that with everyone I work with. All feedback is welcome. That is important to me. In my spare time, I'm an artist and I paint when I find time. I do local art shows and commission work. I've taught art in the local elementary school for their special projects during the years. And in a previous life, I've been a musician and have taught music lessons both privately as well as in middle school. I write a mental health blog that you can look up at www.themoodswing.blog and get either information or some humor depending on the subject and my mood when I'm writing. I have been rather absent from it for awhile due to life's ups and downs, but I hope to return soon. I look forward to meeting you and working together to find a solution that is helpful for you.

Hello! I am April, also known as the Pineapple Lady. From time to time, you may hear me say Make Room for Your Crown. I believe that individuals are all intrinsically creative, and through varying art experiences, one can deepen their understanding of choices, challenges, and capabilities without judgment. I am trained to integrate psychotherapy with art-making and/or evidence-based practices such as (EFT, SFBT, Jungian, & Motivational Interviewing). If words alone cannot fully capture what you are experiencing, I offer art therapy as a tool for greater awareness. Though versed in various therapies, my core practice is rooted in truth-telling, narrative change, racial healing, and transformation. Over the past 7 years, I have been fortunate to build a diverse and adaptable skill set. My most recent work involved helping manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, negative self-image, and substance use. Like the pineapple which has formed a spikey exterior to protect itself, so have we! However, an inner core lies within us all and uniquely centering you, I will remain curious, engaged, and committed to providing a safe experience for you to thrive. Did you know the pineapple was also made up of 200 flowers?! Sometimes we become overwhelmed by our flowering process. In working with me I will use effective and creative strategies to uncover all of your flowers while helping you understand that each season is necessary for us to bloom into our purpose. I am eager to know more about you and remember Make Room for Your Crown. Your written bio should appeal to a potential client. Keep it authentic, warm, and personal. Consider including things like: types of people you find yourself helping most often, your approach to working with clients, educational background, licensure, interests and hobbies.
