Not currently accepting patients

Hi there, I'm Diana!

As a Licensed Clinician Social Worker with 30 years of experience in the mental health field, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to my work. I am bilingual and fluent in Spanish, enabling me to serve a diverse range of clients.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is eclectic, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Complicated Grief Therapy (CGT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Strength-Based techniques. I tailor my approach to best meet the unique needs of each individual client.

My focus

I work with individuals across the lifespan, including children, adults, and the elderly. My areas of specialty include ADHD, Anger Management, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Domestic Violence, Grief, LGBTQIA+ issues, Parenting, Pregnancy/Prenatal/Postpartum concerns, Relationship Issues, Self-Esteem, Stress, Trauma and PTSD, Racial Identity, Panic Attacks, and Schizophrenia.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make positive changes in their lives.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you navigate life's challenges, gain new insights and coping skills, and ultimately achieve the personal growth and emotional well-being you desire. Together, we will work to identify and overcome the obstacles standing in the way of your happiness and fulfillment.

My first session with you

In our first session, we will discuss your primary concerns and goals for therapy. I will take the time to learn about your unique background, experiences, and perspectives. This initial meeting will lay the foundation for our therapeutic relationship and help us develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
