About April Shields

Are you looking for support in removing what is blocking you from loving who you are, doing what you love, and connecting with the people you love? I can help you develop more positive relationships and become more aware of what might be stopping you from moving forward in your personal and professional life. I provide an empathic environment that opens the way for self-discovery. I hope that you will feel supported and more confident as you take steps toward living a life you feel passionate about. I approach therapy as a collaborative process, working with each client to fully realize their own goals, desires, needs, path, etc. This varies from client to client as I meet each individual where they are and base each contact on their individual needs. I strive to communicate with clients in a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate way. I also use somatic approaches such as guided meditation and breathwork. My number one goal for all of my clients is to help them get to a place of more self-trust, self-compassion, and self-love. Wouldn’t it feel amazing to trust yourself so much that you don’t constantly second guess yourself, over-analyze, or question every decision you make?
