"Women marry men
hoping they will
change. Men marry
women hoping
they will not. So
each is inevitably
disappointed."
Albert Einstein

 I'm April, and I've been practicing as a therapist for about 14 years. I believe that each individual is unique and complicated, and enjoy finding the most effective ways to increased communication and
growth. I received my Bachelors of Social Work at
New York University, NY., and finished there with a Masters in Social Work. While in New York, I worked in diverse
settings, participated in psychoanalytic psychotherapy training, became licensed, and had a small private
practice. Years later, I returned to California, as I'm a
native. Since there is no reciprocity, I completed the hours of required work, passed two state exams, and
became licensed in California. I no longer practice psychoanalytic psychotherapy, as I utilize more current techniques suited to individuals today. I have a direct approach, and offer a safe environment to explore feelings, provide empathic listening, nonjudgmental support, and perspective. I like nurturing the innate desire you possess, to make the changes necessary in your life. So, whether you are seeking individual, marital, or family therapy, your wanting to explore alternatives is an important first
step in this process.
Communication is crucial in all relationships; and we can continue to increase connective skills throughout our lives. Each person has the potential to grow. There are those of us who are shy, there are those of us who are bold. You may find yourself taking an extreme position, fighting with ultimatums, opposition, and then put on hold your own innate ability to adapt and negotiate, succumbing to blaming the other, fighting, criticizing, and suffering. Take a chance, and tap into your desire to be ever moving shifting, and adapting, increasing the fluidity of your life. Change is what keeps us vital, so discover, question, seek out, and begin.
