I love working with Dianna. This experience has far exceeded my expectations, and because she is so helpful, insightful, observant and caring, I feel encouraged after each session and more and more committed to stay with this. My stuff isn’t easy, but I trust her and am willing to keep diving into the deep end. ❤️‍

Dianna has been instrumental in my journey of growth. She has the best advice that I often half-joke that I am going to needle-point on a pillow. Dianna is professional, brilliant, and a kind listener.

(I previously provided a review and I still hold Dianna in the highest regard - she is wonderful in all ways. )

Dianna is one of the kindest, compassionate, patient and wise women I have had the pleasure of meeting. She was encouraging, and patient, and could also lovingly challenge me in areas that I could grow in. With still a high level of professionalism, in a unique way, she's become not only a mentor, but a friend.
