So far I am quite pleased with the insight, expertise, and comfortable way of Diana. I would definately recommend her as an active listener with very good suggestions. It is early yet, so I’m conservative with praise, but I’m glad I have Diana as my Therapist

Diana is amazing! She's so thoughtful in her communications and she has helped me quite a lot over the last few months. We've been talking since June (it's November) and I feel that she has really made a difference in my life and the way that I handle and react to what's going on inside and around me. I've grown as a person, and I wouldn't be so balanced and boundaried as I am now without her support.

At this point, I have met with Diana 2x. I respect her, she is kind, intuitive, sensitive and a great listener. She makes me feel important and worth her efforts.

Diana is the most skilled therapist I have ever worked with. And I have worked with many. She has helped me grow in ways I didn’t think possible. My healing is infinite with her as my guide.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Diana. She is my rock and Jiminy Cricket and occasionally my devil’s advocate as I work through my issues. She is always compassionate and never makes me feel like I am wasting her time. It is a comfort to have her in my corner, I appreciate her and the professionalism and empathy she brings to every interaction.

Diana is hands-down the best therapist I have had in a very very very long time. I've been through many therapists since childhood, and most were a very stereotypical passive therapist. That is not so with Diana. She listens, is eager to accept feedback on what techniques work best for me, and checks in if I stop participating for a while to bump my attention a bit. I've noticed improvement within myself and am eager to continue working with her.
