Great to meet you!

April is a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner specializing in maternal (perinatal/postpartum), and pediatric mental health. Her psychiatric training includes an MSN from Purdue University, and a completed residency program at Children’s Hospital Colorado, where she worked as a psychiatric RN on their inpatient behavioral health unit. During this time, she gained invaluable experience working with hundreds of patients and families with complex mental health needs.

Additionally, April is a clinical herbalist, yoga teacher, massage therapist, and birth and postpartum doula. Her extensive background in health and wellness drives her passion behind her holistic approach to mental health -- one that integrates evidence-based psychiatry with comprehensive, whole-person care.
