It can be difficult to find a bond with a therapist whom you trust and can be vulnerable with. It seems like a journey for me to find the right person who can give me what I need in a therapy session. I need someone who is respectful, nonjudgmental, nice but strong and encourages me, even if it means telling me what I need to hear, even if I don't want to hear it. April does that and more. She explains to me how I feel when I have a hard time organizing my thoughts, and she is amazing at doing that. She is a great listener and an active listener. I've noticed my life is shifting in a good way. You would be doing yourself a great service by being treated by her. I am so happy that I found April with a unique artistic way of therapy.

April is absolutely amazing and real. I’ve never had a therapist challenge me the way she does in the best way. She really gets me thinking and had helped me make progress when I’ve been feeling so helpless. I love how she includes art into her sessions as it also reminded me how calming it can be and how you can take what you create and understand your mind from a different perspective. I can’t recommend April enough. I know with her guidance, support, and understanding I will reach all my goals.

Hello! I am April, also known as the Pineapple Lady. From time to time, you may hear me say Make Room for Your Crown. I believe that individuals are all intrinsically creative, and through varying art experiences, one can deepen their understanding of choices, challenges, and capabilities without judgment. I am trained to integrate psychotherapy with art-making and/or evidence-based practices such as (EFT, SFBT, Jungian, & Motivational Interviewing). If words alone cannot fully capture what you are experiencing, I offer art therapy as a tool for greater awareness.
Though versed in various therapies, my core practice is rooted in truth-telling, narrative change, racial healing, and transformation. Over the past 7 years, I have been fortunate to build a diverse and adaptable skill set. My most recent work involved helping manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, negative self-image, and substance use.
Like the pineapple which has formed a spikey exterior to protect itself, so have we! However, an inner core lies within us all and uniquely centering you, I will remain curious, engaged, and committed to providing a safe experience for you to thrive. Did you know the pineapple was also made up of 200 flowers?! Sometimes we become overwhelmed by our flowering process. In working with me I will use effective and creative strategies to uncover all of your flowers while helping you understand that each season is necessary for us to bloom into our purpose. I am eager to know more about you and remember Make Room for Your Crown.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
