I’m a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in treating narcissistic abuse, postpartum challenges, and relationship issues. I’ve spent years helping clients rebuild their sense of self, strengthen boundaries, and recover from painful relational patterns. My style is direct, compassionate, and deeply trauma-informed. I believe in creating a safe, steady space where you can heal, grow, and feel truly supported.

I focus mostly on behavior change. That might be a change from how you think about yourself, relationships, work, or something else. I can help you explore that. My role is to support you in believing that change is possible.

I also work in an open-ended environment. There is no contract or set number of sessions. Therapy should be flexible, and everyone's frequency is different. Most people notice growth within 10 sessions.

I’ve been a counselor for over forty years and have worked in a variety of settings. That doesn’t make me an expert, just seasoned wood. I have a master’s degree in rehabilitation counseling, I’m a licensed professional counselor, and a certified substance use counselor. My background has been in both the mental health and substance use treatment fields, which has been a good mix since these issues often go together. I also work with couples when appropriate, especially when relationship stressors are impacting mental health or vice-versa.

Hello! My name is Diana. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC/LMHC) in multiple states, including CT, AK, MA, RI, TX and FL. I earned a Master's Degree in Art Therapy/Mental Health Counseling from Springfield College. I am a registered Art Therapist and Play Therapist, with over 12 years experience working with children, adolescents and adults. I have significant experience working with active duty Service members and military families.

I started my career working with adolescents that were pregnant and parenting in high school. This opened the door to my various experiences working with young, growing adults and families. In the heart of St. Louis, MO, as a school-based therapist, I gained further knowledge of the racial and poverty challenges taking place in our communities. Fast forward three years and becoming a social worker in Colorado, I managed a variety of cases involving children and adolescents experiencing trauma, parental abuse and neglect, couples counseling and mediation, and managing chaotic situations. In this time, not only did it allow me to gain experience in the child welfare and court systems, it reminded me of my true passion and brought me back to my primary focus. I am happy to be back on track with my passion in therapy and helping adolescents, families, and couples in their time of crisis or distress.

I believe that healthy change starts from within and my role is to be a guide during this process. Often times we feel we are stuck in a rut with no way out, but together we'll work on building self-empowerment, better self-care, and self-awareness. No matter what you're going through there's always room to learn and grow from the past to make a better future. I specialize in anxiety disorders, trauma and PTSD, and building self-confidence. I'm also trained in Brainspotting.

Finding the right therapist matters. I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely heard, respected, and understood. My style is conversational, collaborative, and direct, balancing warmth with honesty and practical feedback. I work especially well with individuals impacted by trauma, chronic stress, and moral injury arising from high-responsibility environments, including veterans, first responders, and medical professionals. Many appear highly functional outwardly while privately struggling with anxiety, exhaustion, disrupted sleep, or feeling disconnected from themselves, others, or the lives they once recognized.
