Practice Information

Hi! I’m Diana (she/her) and I’m passionate about walking alongside people as they navigate life’s challenges and transitions. I work from a trauma-informed, intersectional, and anti-oppressive perspective, and I believe that therapy can be a powerful space for healing, clarity, and growth. I specialize in working with culturally diverse individuals who are processing trauma, navigating identity, and moving through major life transitions.

I support individuals who are coping with:

  • Trauma and complex trauma
  • Anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm
  • Life transitions, identity shifts, and burnout
  • Cultural identity, migration experiences, and intergenerational expectations

Many of my clients come from diverse cultural backgrounds and are navigating the pressures of being everything to everyone—often while putting their own needs last. I aim to create a warm, transparent, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences freely, without needing to explain or justify them.

My approach is relational and collaborative. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is key to meaningful change. If you don’t feel safe and seen, it’s hard to do the deeper work. That’s why I focus on building a connection based on trust, compassion, and curiosity.

I offer both short-term, solution-focused therapy and longer-term, exploratory work—depending on what you’re looking for. Whether you're in crisis or simply feeling disconnected, I’ll meet you where you are.

My work is integrative and holistic, drawing from a variety of evidence-based approaches. I tailor each session to your unique needs and values, and always hold space for your cultural and personal context.

It’s an honor to be invited into people’s lives, and I welcome you to reach out for a free 20-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

 

I offer services in English, Spanish, and French.

I am registered with FNHA and CVAP and offer sliding scale services.
