From our first conversation, I felt Diane was going to be comfortable to open up with. I tend to talk a lot and go off topic, but Diane is able to reel me back in. I also appreciate her way of getting me to take accountability and not feel stuck.

Diane is compassionate, understanding, comforting and knowledgeable. She gets me more than I get myself most times if not all the time, and truly has a way with tackling each issue in the most productive way. Always without judgment and always on my own timeline of healing. This is my first therapy experience and she has made it so pleasant. I know it takes years for people to find the right therapist sometimes, so I’m truly grateful that I’ve found mine on the first try.
