April is incredible, from the moment I started with her she has been so encouraging, patient, consistent, wise, understanding and never judgmental! I came feeling so many unfelt emotions that were weighing me down on my day to day that left me feeling hopeless and not wanting to see beyond it. I feel a complete 180 from the way i felt this time last year when I started with her! in her patience I learned more about myself and reminded myself how to regulate my emotions/feelings in a beautiful way that not only let me back to myself but to Christ as well! Im very grateful for who she is in my currently life. I look forward to chatting with her weekly :)

I am a licensed independent clinical social work in the state of Minnesota and I have 20 years of experience. I have worked many years with women's issues surrounding depression, postpartum depression, and anxiety as well as relationship issues and self-esteem.

I believe a relationship is very important to help you achieve your goals. I offer a warm, calm presence and believe in respect, integrity, sensitivity and compassion. I tailor our therapy together to what works best with and for you. I can utilize many approaches such as cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, or an eclectic mix. I work with you to build goals because you know yourself best.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I have been to a LOT of therapists and none of them have ever helped me in the way that April has. She has changed my life in ways I never would have expected and I feel so comfortable talking to her and understood and accepted. She is an amazing therapist and I actually 100% would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who actually cares and wants to help. I am eternally grateful I found her and for how much she has done for me.

I think for the longest time I avoided therapy because I just didn’t think that it would work for me, but April proved me wrong and then some. I’ve learnt a lot about myself already, and I know that had I been paired with a different therapist. I probably wouldn’t have gotten this far. All I can say is be open and the rest will fall into place.

It's been helpful to process the mother son relationship with April. Parenting is an endlessly tiring job, but the encouragement and tools she's given me have been helpful. Her compassion is just what I needed after the pandemic parenting marathon I just endured with my boys.

I absolutely adore April. I had no idea really what I was struggling with until she helped me pin point it and started working through things with me. Her expertise and guidance has challenged me to break out of my past dark mental state and progress into more of a healthy outlook. I couldn't have been more thankful that I got paired up with her because she is amazing and cares a lot about my well being and I am a more confident person today because of her encouragement.
