I have experience working with many cultures and ages. I specialize in working with anxious and/or depressed individual adult clients and use Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Narrative Therapy to induce a brighter outlook.

In my experience, what determines someone as a good therapist is how they meet the client's needs. For example, there are days when I seek advice and resources to improve my life, and there are days when I just need to vent and feel understood. The reason I highly recommend Dina is that I've seen a lot of improvement in my life, and it’s because of her skills to connect and understand me.
