Scheduling
I do all of my own scheduling.  The quickest and easiest way get an appointment with me is to schedule online (In person only. Established clients may request a virtual appointment.)  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.

*E-mail me first, if: 
1). You'd like to be placed on the standby list.
2) You are a new client wanting to set up a first appointment.
3) You would like to request a virtual appointment.


Payment
Sessions are $125 and last 50 minutes. I accept cash, checks, debit cards, credit cards and health savings account cards. I don't participate in any insurance networks, but I can give you a receipt with CPT and diagnostic codes that you can file yourself and possibly get a rebate back - based on your insurance plan.

As a certified medical team leader with Mission to the World, April enjoys participating in various medical missions projects around the globe, as often as she gets a chance.  With Greg , she has also had the privilege of being the resident mental health specialist for large missionary refresher events in South America and Europe. 

A Little More About Me...
As a wife and a parent of 5 children, 3 of whom are adopted, I am in the same life phase of many of the clients I see.  Much of what I will teach you is the same skill I use in my own personal life, in my marriage and as a parent.  I've become convinced that the change people really want can only come from the inside out, so I will aim at your heart in counseling.  When the heart changes, then the mind and outside life can also change!

With my specialization in trauma, I am equipped to help you through things that have been painful or overwhelming in your life story. This could include abuse, abandonment, betrayal, rejection, critical incidents and more. As an adoptive parent, I am also passionate about helping adoptive families live to their fullest potential!
​
It is one of mine and Greg's highest privileges to enter into the sacred ground of your story.  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!
