As a social worker, psychotherapist, and relationship expert, I help people create healthier relationships - with themselves and each other.
Hello, I’m April.
Maybe a friend gave you my name.
Maybe you found yourself here after one too many nights lying awake overthinking a relationship, a conversation, or a version of yourself that no longer feels sustainable.
Whatever brought you here,
I’m glad you came.
Long before the degrees and credentials, I was the little girl breaking up fights on the schoolyard and mediating conflict between friends. Years later, I became the unofficial therapist behind the bar at the local pub, listening to the people pour out stories about love, loss, and the messy realities of being human.
Three university degrees later, I’ve specialized in relationships, trauma, grief, and emotional healing. But some of my deepest learning came outside the classroom.
Losing my daughter, surviving cancer, and walking away from a life that looked good from the outside but felt like death by a thousand papercuts on the inside, changed not only who I am, but the way I sit with people in their hardest moments.
My Story...
It's the privilege of a lifetime to be invited into the private corners of people’s lives and support them as they reconnect with themselves, heal their relationships, and find their way through life’s harder seasons without losing who they are in the process.
The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, the second best time is now.

Life is not about finding yourself,
life is about creating yourself.

The quality of your life ultimately depends on the quality of your relationships.

You don't have to choose between being a doormat or a battle axe. There's a third option available, where softness meets power.
I believe in attunement & flexibility, not one size fits all.
Some people do a single session to resolve a specific question or get the clarity they need to forward on their own.
Others continue to work with me on a longer basis to get a deeper understanding of their patterns, break the habits that block connection or make them freeze up in hard moments, and learn new ways of showing up differently- for themselves and others.
How many times would I need to see you?
It might be, depending on your employee assistance plan. I encourage people to confirm with their provider directly that they cover social work services, as it can vary from plan to plan.
Are your services covered by my work benefits?
Hey! I can’t tell you that. My work is totally confidential, which means that everything you tell me stays just between us.
But here’s a little secret I can share- behind closed doors, most people are carrying things they rarely say out loud. Fear, grief, insecurity, shame, confusion, loneliness, anger, heartbreak…even if their life looks perfect from the outside. It’s just part of being human.
