Hi there - thanks so much for swinging by the site and for your interest in working together. My hope is to help you navigate your way to your first appointment with confidence.

Getting Started with Me

Scheduling
I do all of my own scheduling.  The quickest and easiest way get an appointment with me is to schedule online.  You can see my available slots and grab one for yourself. If the online scheduler is giving you trouble, or if you think there is something we need to discuss before you schedule, feel free to text, call or email. 

Payment
Sessions are 50 minutes long and the cost of a session is $100.  I accept cash, check debit cards, credit cards and health savings account cards.  As a canditate for licensure in Tennessee, I am not able to participate in insurance networks at this time.  However, I can provide a receipt for your flex spending account or Health Savings Account.

International Work

As a certified medical team leader with Mission to the World, April enjoys participating in various projects around the world, as often as she gets a chance.  As a growing need has developed to have counselors embedded on teams, she enjoys tending to the mental health and spiritual concerns of her own team members when abroad, as well as the needs of the nationals in country.

​A Little More About Me

As a wife and a parent of 3 children, 1 of whom is adopted, I am in the same life phase of many of the clients I see. The things I like to teach my clients are the same things that have been taught to me over the years by trusted people in my life, as well as through years of relating to college students and families in my work in campus ministry and counseling. I love helping my clients navigate anything in the parenting, family or marriage zones.

With my specialization in trauma, I am equipped to help you through things that have been painful in your life story. This could include abuse, abandonment, betrayal, rejection and more. As an adoptive parent, I am also passionate about helping adoptive families live to their fullest potential!

It has been a fun adventure to join the practice my husband started while I was finishing my counseling studies. We consider ourselves a mom and pop shop and are confident that you'll feel at home with us. We look forward to seeing you!
