I understand where couples get stuck and can help them make better sense of their relationship. I work with couples who feel lonely and frustrated and crave a safe haven where they can talk about their worries, fears and concerns without fear of judgment, disappointment or shame.
I help couples deal with moments of disconnection and create a space of safety where partners can reconnect with one another and provide shelter from heightened conflict, increased hostility and distress.Exasperated and hopeless when things don't go as planned, we can feel more alone in our relationships than ever.

Even the strongest relationships go through periods where couples feel lonely, stuck, and at the end of their rope. Not only are the competing demands of work, kids and family life vying for your time and attention, but external factors like blended family dynamics, addiction issues, depression and unexpected life circumstances attempt to threaten an otherwise healthy relationship.
The majority of couples (67% according to research) have relationship struggles for up to three years after the birth of a baby. This is not surprising when sleepless nights, fatigue and new-baby responsibilities take over. Bringing Baby Home prepares couples for life with baby and helps them be the best parenting team possible.
Prepare to embark on a life-changing journey that lasts forever. Babies are a blessing, yet sometimes sleep-deprivation, uncertain parenting roles and stressful communication can leave us less than satisfied. The first year of life with your new baby is an amazing experience, but one that also presents significant challenges to a couples' relationship.
As busy as you are planning for your wedding, you should also be as steadfast in preparing for your marriage. While you begin your journey through life together, considering premarital counseling in order to build a solid foundation should be at the top of your list.

I’ve searched high and low for both an individual and a couples therapist for years. I’ve found it difficult to find someone, especially now, with the pandemic. April was able to accommodate my busy work schedule while providing services virtually for ny safety. I’ve been through numerous therapists and April is both a compassionate listener as well as an active listener who hears my concerns and offers solutions. Her expertise is among the best I’ve experienced. She has helped me individually and us as a couple to navigate very difficult times, repair and heal, and move forward with a

If I could give April more than 5 stars - I would. She is seriously THE Fairy Godmother of relationship harmony and growth! My fiancé and I have been to many sessions with her and from the very first session we were blown away by her ability to gently draw out underlying feelings and help us understand them in light of the greater picture. We really appreciate how she is able to help us navigate and find our own answers that bring so much resolution and peace. She creates a safe space we can share openly in and we feel she is on our team. If you are ready to take your relationship to a new level

I want to take this time to thank Jaime, our wonderful counselor, who took the time to analyze our situation and help us finding the solution to our marriage problems. We were dealing with multiple issues that did not allow us to grow as indivuduals, neither as a couple. Jaime, with his expertise identified our weaknesses and lead us to a better relationship not just between us, but also with our family. We felt so comfortable with him, that we exposed our most deep feelings and situations without any judgment from him. We are sure all our Info is being kep private which makes us even more comfortable

April was the second marriage counselor we reached out to and after having a not so great experience with the first one we weren't sure what to expect from anyone else. We chose her over the great reviews she has online and we were not disappointed the least.
She has a very nice manner of approach to each individual and gave us the right tools to start communicating with each other much better and thanks to her my husband and I have a good relationship these days! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for counseling and also would say to people who are hesitant about counseling that it

Honestly I was absolutely terrified finding a therapist after reading thousand reviews. This is why I'm leaving one now. After doing extensive research and freaking out about picking someone that was the right fit. I am so happy that I read the reviews on April. She is absolutely wonderful. She is open-minded, caring, and easy to engage with. I've always had a hard time opening up but there is something very comforting about speaking with April, i believe it is a combination of compassion and knowledge.

Pursuing therapy can be overwhelming, it was for me. However, finding April was the best thing that happened for the sake of my relationship with my husband. April is caring, genuine, calm, and really just an overall rockstar therapist. She truly listens and has a unique way of leading you down a path of self assessment and self realization. Her technique allowed me and my husband the capacity to expand our perspective of one another, resulting in a level of understanding that we couldn't achieve on our own. We highly recommend April, she is simply the best.

Working with April as a therapist has been very helpful, not only on a relationship level but individual as well. I came across April’s info when searching for a couple’s counselor in the area, and can confidently say all the positive remarks are true. April did a great job at discovering & rooting out the core issues, and was even more paramount in helping me understand what was happening on the individual level and how to see things from a better perspective while trusting in myself. Highly recommend April and Couples Thrive for anyone seeking relationship counseling and advice.

April is amazing! She provides you with the tools necessary to navigate the changes in relationships, including transitioning to motherhood/fatherhood, being a stay-at-home mom to working full time, and changes that come with the seasons of marriage. April helps her clients preserve the family and improve their relationships to accommodate the inevitable changes of roles within the family. I could not be more pleased to work with April. I am extremely grateful to have met her and work with her to learn how to make family relationships stronger, even in light of the everchanging roles we all experience
