I know what it feels like to self-doubt, not trust yourself, or be riddled with anxiety. I can help you get out of that analysis paralysis or constant reach for external validation to feel okay. When anxiety or self-doubt creep in, I teach you to meet them with curiosity and compassion. You will learn that your emotions are messengers that guide you back to your needs and your inner wisdom. I have worked with women and couples in private practice settings who struggle with relationship issues, emotional dysregulation, and communication. I work with women who struggle with high reactivity to learn how to work with their emotional guidance system and develop more internal resilience, control over their mind, and peace.

Hi, I'm Diana — a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with individuals and families, including older adults, navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, and life transitions. My background spans schools, foster care, supportive housing for youth, and outpatient mental health across New York and Florida. I know how hard it can be to find a therapist who truly understands your culture, your language, and the pressures you carry — whether that's family expectations, being the one everyone else leans on, health changes, caregiving, or figuring out who you are apart from everyone else's needs. Many of the people I work with are holding it together for everyone around them while quietly running on empty. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are and feel understood, in whichever language feels most like home.
