Individual therapy that fits into your life.
Accessible and compassionate talk therapy from the comfort of your home.
Hello & Welcome
If you have found yourself on my website it is probably because there is something going on in your life that is not how you want it to be. We all have periods in our lives when we need a little help and guidance to get back on track and therapy can be the answer. I am here to help with that process and to enable you to point your life in the direction in which you want it to go.
About me
I’m April, a licensed professional counselor with over a decade of experience helping individuals in their 20s, 30s, and 40s navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in working with members of the LGBTQ+ community, providing support through a variety of issues that often arise during early to middle adulthood.
In my practice, I work with clients facing common mental health concerns such as depression and anxiety, as well as those struggling with relationship difficulties and life transitions. One of my areas of particular focus is supporting individuals who have experienced religious trauma. I help clients process and deconstruct these experiences, guiding them on their journey toward rediscovering and embracing their authentic selves.
I take an integrative and adaptable approach to therapy, primarily drawing from psychodynamic and psychoanalytic methods. I believe therapy can unlock your full potential, helping you create meaningful change and live a more fulfilling life.
I hold a Master of Science in Pastoral Counseling from Neumann University, and I’ve pursued post-graduate training in modern analytic therapy at the Philadelphia School of Psychoanalysis.
My therapeutic approach
I believe the foundation of effective therapy lies in building a strong, trusting relationship. I take the time to listen and get to know you better, asking thoughtful questions to understand your unique experiences. Creating a safe, judgment-free space where you feel heard and understood is essential for our work together.
As we move forward, we’ll explore your thoughts and emotions more deeply to uncover the root causes of your challenges—always at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I won’t push you to discuss anything you're not ready to share or try to change behaviors before you're ready.
Over time, this process of self-exploration helps reveal patterns of thinking and behavior, and together we’ll work to understand their origins. Becoming more aware of these patterns allows you to accept them and begin making new choices that align with your goals.
It's important to remember that our thoughts and feelings are shaped by a lifetime of experiences, and change is a gradual process. While it may take time to see the transformation you desire, with patience and dedication, we will work toward achieving the positive changes you're seeking.
Services
Gone are the days when you have to factor in travel time to your therapy appointments! I conduct all of my sessions via video and phone platforms. This allows you the convenience of only putting aside one hour for a session and being able to do it anywhere that you are able to have privacy and speak freely. I use HIPAA compliant platforms for all my teletherapy sessions.
Fees & Insurance
-
Choosing to begin therapy is both a time and financial investment, and you deserve that commitment! I strive to keep my sessions accessible for those ready to start their journey. My standard rate is $125 for a 50-minute session. I recognize that this may be a challenge for some, so I do my best to accommodate individuals facing financial difficulties. If you're interested but uncertain about the cost, please don't hesitate to reach out.
-
While I am unable to accept direct payment from any insurance companies, I am an out-of-network provider. Each insurance plan is different, and depending on your coverage, you may be eligible for reimbursement directly from your insurance company. I would be happy to work with you to learn more about your mental health coverage. Additionally, I am able to accept FSA and HSA cards for payment.
