I received my bachelor's from James Madison University and a Master of Arts from Lesley University in Expressive Therapy.
I have over 40 years of experience in mental health practice. I believe that we work together to help you be the best version of yourself. I am trauma therapy certified, anger management certified and work with teens and adults. I specialize in anxiety, depression and trauma issues as well as Adult Children of Alcoholics. We are a team working together to help you improve your life situations
I believe that we are all a work in progress, including myself. I want therapy to feel safe, productive and supportive.
I'm April — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has worked alongside people in some of the hardest chapters of their lives: crisis moments in emergency settings, school hallways with overwhelmed teenagers, and outpatient rooms where families were trying to figure out how to be in the same room again. That range of experience has shaped how I work. I know that anxiety looks different in a 15-year-old than it does in a 40-year-old. I know that couples who love each other can still feel like strangers. And I know that healing isn't linear — it takes time, trust, and the right support.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and marital concerns, family conflict, parenting challenges, life transitions, and emotional regulation. I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. For clients who want it, I also offer faith-integrated counseling that weaves Christian beliefs and values into the therapeutic process — thoughtfully, ethically, and at your pace.
I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and complex trauma. I keep a warm, empathetic space where clients explore how thoughts and past experiences impact their mood and overall well-being. I genuinely value connection and collaboration in the therapeutic relationship.
Seasons change and so do we. I believe that strong relationships are the foundation of meaningful change. With experience in schools, hospitals, and community mental health, I create a supportive space where you feel seen and heard. Using a person-centered approach, CBT, and mindfulness, I’ll help you reframe thoughts, set goals, and build tools for lasting growth.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Norfolk, VA
Searching for family therapists in Norfolk starts with finding someone whose experience matches what your family is working through. Family therapy can support parenting conflict, adolescent challenges, blended family dynamics, co-parenting concerns, and communication across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person, so their bios may mention work with parents, children, siblings, couples, or extended family members. As you compare options, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience with the age groups involved.
In Norfolk, a usable match often depends on both location and scheduling. You may prefer an in-person therapist near home, school, or work, while virtual appointments can make it easier to include family members in different places or with different schedules. Family therapy sessions may include the full family, smaller groups, or individual members at different points in care. Before booking, read each therapist’s profile to understand their session structure, availability, communication style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation to discuss fit.
Family therapy in Norfolk can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket cost and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway lets you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details, and see estimated session costs before you book. From there, you can review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
