About April

I was trained in transpersonal psychology in California at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology (ITP) and now living and practicing in my hometown in Northeast Ohio. I provide counseling to families, children, teens, and adults utilizing Mindfulness-based methods, such as ACT, creative expression, and somatic and symbolic work at my private practice. I also am certified in DIR/Floortime which is a nervous system, relationship/developmental/individual-based approach; I am also trained Level I & II EMDR and recently in Brainspotting. I typically accept all insurances, including Medicaid and Medicare, and offer counseling for depression/anxiety, PTSD, Complex-PTSD, adoption/abandonment, ADHD, autism, OCD, mood disorders, and other conditions. I bring psychoanalytic principles into my practice to help support client's relationship/attachment/developmental growth. I am LGBTQIA+ friendly, neurodivergent-affirming, and trauma-informed.
