More about April

I am grateful for the experiences I’ve had working as a counselor and therapist for over 25 years. I am passionate about my work and consider it an honor when clients share their lives with me. I have learned a lot over the years about people. A lot has been from personal experience and much from professional training and research. Most of what I’ve learned, however,  has been from my clients. 

 

In a supportive,  encouraging, compassionate, honest and safe environment, I will join with you to help you look at the big picture.  What’s going on?  Where are you stuck? What are YOUR goals?  


I believe in not taking ourselves too seriously.  Laughter is powerful.  Do we make mistakes?  Absolutely!  Everybody does.  I look forward to speaking with you about your life – where you are and where you want to be, your goals, your pain, your dreams... let’s do this together.

“NOTHING CHANGES IF NOTHING CHANGES.”
