ABOUT April

I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate relationships that feel strained, uncertain, or deeply hurt. My work often focuses on repeated conflict, emotional disconnection, loss of trust, attachment injuries, relationship trauma, and the difficult question of whether and how a relationship can be repaired. I also work with people navigating breakups and divorce, including the grief, identity disruption, and uncertainty that can come with the end of an important relationship.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and direct. I integrate attachment-based and trauma-informed perspectives with CBT, DBT, IFS, and somatic work to help you understand the patterns underneath conflict rather than only managing what happens on the surface. Therapy can include building healthier communication and boundaries, understanding how past experiences are affecting the present relationship, processing relational injuries, and creating more intentional ways of responding to one another.

I work with both individuals and couples and welcome LGBTQIA+ clients and diverse relationship experiences. Whether you are trying to rebuild trust, understand recurring relationship patterns, recover after a breakup, or determine what comes next, my goal is to help you move toward greater clarity, emotional safety, and more fulfilling relationships.
