The work that we have accomplished has been very helpful during a traumatic and transitionary time in my life. My counselor has been helpful and supportive.

Diana has been extremely insightful in my efforts towards positive mental health. She is especially good at listening to everything I have to say without cutting me off, and validated what it is I have said through confirmation or clarifying questions. She also does a good job of allowing me to come up with solutions before she offers her own and as such allows me to take a proactive role in my health. She’s great!

Diana is the best therapist I've ever spoken with. I feel comfortable speaking with her and I feel that she truly hears me. She is never judgemental and has helped me learn so much about myself and gives me the tools to help me with my goals. I am so grateful to have connected with her here.
