As we become better acquainted, I hope we’ll share humor from time to time since laughter is wonderful medicine! I will meet you where you are at. And I encourage you to tell me what pace is comfortable for you.

Diana is a patient, careful listener. She actively engages with my concerns, provides honest, thoughtful feedback, and ensures that I always feel confident that I am in control. Her trauma informed approach is exactly what I’m seeking, helping me to feel empowered, and she isn’t afraid to insert some much needed humor into our sessions. I feel she shows up authentically , helping me to feel safe doing the same. I absolutely recommend her.
