Hi there! I am a licensed mental health counselor in Washington with twelve years of experience working in a variety of mental health programs. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, behavioral issues, relationship issues, parenting skills, and have additional training specializing in work with trauma.
My counseling style is warm and casual. I believe that everyone coming to counseling should be treated with warmth and respect. I believe in clear communication, not complicated jargon, and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. I believe in a client-centered, humanistic approach that will focus on systems theory while maintaining a cognitive-behavioral approach. What all that means is, this is about you, and your treatment planning and work will be tailored to you, your environment, and your specific needs.
Reaching out for support is one of the biggest steps in pursuing change, and here you are. If you are ready to take that next step, I am here to support and encourage you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Thank you guys
I was nervous about bringing my own observations about my mental health and probable (now confirmed) PMDD to a new therapist — but April was ready to listen and meet me where I was at during our first meeting. Her validation that I am the expert of my own experiences and guidance toward healthier coping mechanisms has empowered me to get the proper treatment for my unique mental health needs. I think I’m making a lot of progress and so appreciate her help!
Have only had two sessions, but I have found her open, engaging and very supportive. I am very happy with her so far!
April is amazing! She understands what I’m struggling with and how to best help me
April is very understanding and is aimed at getting me the my goal.
April has helped me work through personal loss and trauma and given me the tools I need to heal and move on. She is great at checking in on me and seeing how I'm doing and quick to respond when I send a message.
Really appreciate the fact that April makes me feel unique. Not like I’m just another patient. She helps me feel seen and heard. Sometimes that’s all you need
April is profession, friendly, and gives good practical, actionable advice. Would recommend!
I feel like I’m the odd one out getting such an amazing counselor on an app. April makes me and my feelings feel validated and gives me a safe place to talk, while offering very sound and non condescending advice.
April is an amazing therapist. She listens and provides valuable insight. She has been very helpful.
Navigating life during a pandemic is hard, on top of being a new mom things felt so overwhelming and my depression felt crushing. April helped me sort things out and made me feel in control of my life again. I'm so thankful.
April tells me not what I want to hear, but what I need to hear. She then gives me the support and the space to process all the feelings that come with that. The healing process is hard work, but I feel like I’m not working alone anymore.
