- LMHC
I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I have been working with individuals, families, teens and children in a variety of mental health settings over the last 13 years. I have always known I wanted to go into the mental health field, mainly because I love helping others in any capacity that I can. I started my career working at an residential mental health facility that handled a spectrum of different problems. As a hands on mental health technician, I worked one on one with critical patients, and later as a life management counselor, I led small groups on depression, stress management, familial stress, career development and addiction. After that, I worked in an inpatient and outpatient facility, for adults, children and teens with eating disorders, anxiety, depression and multiple forms of addiction. I have a particular interest in process addictions, including but not limited to: gaming, internet addiction, and pornography addiction and the toll they can take on the family unit as a whole. I have worked with all different types of clients, from those with grief and marital discord, to others coping with PTSD or trauma. I have worked in a school setting, collaborating with families of specials needs children, with disabilities such as Autism and chronic health issues. Additionally, I specialize in working with children and adults with chronic illnesses that may make it impossible for them to seek counseling elsewhere. I have worked for BetterHelp since 2017 as a therapist providing online services.
I have a Bachelor of Science degree (B.S.) in Psychology from the University of Central Florida, and Master of Arts (M.A.) in Mental Health Counseling also from the University of Central Florida. I am a Certified School Counselor in the State of Florida, and hold credentials that allow me to work in an educational setting as well as mental health setting. I work from a cognitive behavioral standpoint, but also use Solution Focused therapy whenever possible, to help you achieve your goals as quickly as possible. Helping you feel better is my main goal in treatment. I utilize compassion and understanding to help my clients feel comfortable, and appreciate that personal growth can happen in many different ways.
I look forward to working with you on your journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

She’s what’s helped keep me grounded these past two years
April is an excellent therapist. She is so great at listening and meeting me where I am. It helps to have someone who is positive and non judge mental to process with and April is a clinician who understands.
April is amazing!! She calls me out when I need to be called out, and supports me when I need her support! She is very uplifting and very encouraging all while helping me understand where I can improve. I wouldn’t have made it as far as I have without her
Amazing counselor. Really understanding and provider of solutions
Amazing counselor very emphatic and active listener with really good advice
April is an absolute professional, amazingly talented at her craft of counseling, and her care and concern show in a way that made me feel truly valued and supported. April is the best counselor I have had the good fortune to work with. I highly recommend BH and April specifically.
April really changed my life! In a few months, she helped me in a variety of ways to think about situations differently, take action to improve situations, and to value myself and the worth I have. I am so grateful to her & will carry the lessons she taught me for the rest of my life.
I am glad that I have her to support and guide me through this tough time. I feel lucky I can share my feelings with her.
April has been so great to work with. She always listens and doesn't make me feel as stupid as I do. I was paired with someone who really seemed to get me from very early on. I couldn't have been matched to someone better. Thankful for the time she gives to me. Would recommend her to anyone as she is very supportive and understanding.
April has helped me in so many ways in a short time. Knowing someone can understand what I'm feeling and help is out there means the world to me. Thank you April
April has been such a positive outlook to my underlying issues. I feel able to talk to her easily leaving no fear, anxious thought, or problem behind. We are working on new ways to tackle ideas both of us are new to and she has done amazing to learn how to help me conquer whatever it is I need for BetterHelp. She is a blessing.
April has been amazing. She never makes me feel like a waste of her time, or someone she is just making money off of. She has seriously helped me to understand so much and also helped me to take huge steps forward in my life. She is incredible. I cannot recommend her enough, she is a huge blessing to my life and I can never thank her enough for all the work she has put in to helping me. She actually helps you feel like a person again, helps you get to the underlying cause, to treat the effect. Never, not once, has she made me feel like I was crazy for feeling how I feel. If it were a 10 point scale on how incredible she has been I would easily give her 50, stealing points from other counselors that she blows out of the park!
April has been a great resource for support and encouragement at a time when I really just needed to be heard and to hear myself. Thanks April!
April is the most caring, attentive, and insightful counselor I've ever had. She is so genuine and encouraging and I feel completely understood by her. I'm so thankful for April and her prayers for me and my family.
