Master of Social Work

Hi there! My name is April, and I’m a therapist experienced in supporting teens and adults across both treatment programs and outpatient settings. I provide [therapy ](https://www.columbiapsychiatry-dc.com/psychiatric-care/mental-health-counseling-and-therapy/)services at our [Columbia, MD](https://www.columbiapsychiatry-dc.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/location/columbia-md.md) clinic.

I’m passionate about building genuine, meaningful relationships with my clients and creating a safe space where you can openly share your thoughts and explore your emotions. My approach is warm and personal; I want you to feel truly seen and heard as we work collaboratively toward your goals. I weave together strategies from CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic therapy to ensure our time together is as practical as it is deeply healing.

I specialize in supporting individuals navigating depression, anxiety, interpersonal challenges, and life transitions. Whether you’re in a difficult season or seeking support through ongoing challenges, I’m here to help you gain clarity about what you’re experiencing and build a toolkit for resilience in your journey.

Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, and it’s completely okay to feel overwhelmed or nervous as you begin this process. My goal is to meet you right where you are. You are not alone, and I look forward to connecting with you as we work toward healing and lasting change together.
