A Message from Aprille
Intentional Healing
I am a Master’s level clinical mental health LPCC striving to provide quality mental health care for each of my clients. It is my passion to help adolescents, their families, and women including postpartum mothers. I believe the healing process is holistic; mentally, physically, and spiritually. My intention is to guide each client toward wholeness, healing, and hope. With a person-centered approach, through empathy and collaboration in the counseling room, healing and growth can be obtained. As a client you will gain skills and break through strongholds, finding new freedom. This will allow hope to permeate through the cracks of suffering to create a new sense of wholeness.
My existential Christian worldview guides my therapeutic lens.
Theoretically operating from an integrative framework is important to me. Individualizing the care toward each client's personal symptoms and needs aligns my holistic approach. I utilize modalities from Internal Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy when in session.
Your Story
When we find the courage to seek help, we need a safe place to land. Each client needs to experience a place where they are comfortable to tell their personal story. Our stories are sacred and dear to our souls. They make up who we were, who we are and who we will become. Hope comes from knowing and accepting our story, having the courage to change the narrative and vulnerably allowing others to hear, see, and understand the truth of our life experiences.
A therapeutic relationship that aligns the client toward intentional healing is needed. When we experience attachment wounds in our early childhood development, maladaptive relationships and behaviors can affect us. Through life experiences and trauma, suffering can occur. This suffering hinders our meaning, purpose, and freedom to live a hope-filled life. There is healing in allowing shame stories to be in the light, finding inner truth, learning new coping skills, and emotionally processing our story. I would be honored to walk with you on this journey toward renewed hope.
