Experience

Diana started her journey as a behavior disorders teacher turned elementary school counselor. After retirement, Diana continued her career and followed her dream of earning her license and opening a private counseling practice. In her practice, she has worked with all ages dealing with various issues such as post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, grief, depression, family relationships, abuse, divorce, and couples therapy. Diana also worked with many clients referred from the Division of Family Services relating to parenting skills and child abuse/neglect. Diana loves helping people change their mindset from “I can’t take this anymore!” to “Oh, life is good after all!” Sometimes another person’s perspective on situations helps volumes, and that is what I do. Diana helps offer solutions using a variety of techniques in a non-judgmental and compassionate way. Diana is so glad that you are reaching out to find help in this chaotic world we are living in! So many people choose to live in “anxious mode”, but by taking this first step, we can work toward changing your life to “happy and stress-free mode.”
