Introduction

Diana provides a supportive and honest space to help clients address challenges such as self-acceptance, stress, depression, anxiety, identity exploration (including LGBTQIA+ identities), or life transitions. She uses a warm, direct approach that balances compassion with encouragement to foster growth. Clients may seek to improve self-esteem, build resilience, foster healthier relationships, or better manage stress. Diana is dedicated to supporting the LGBTQIA+ community, helping clients deepen self-understanding, find emotional balance, and confidently navigate their personal journeys. I provide a safe, supportive space tailored to each client’s unique needs, offering warm yet direct guidance to foster growth. Using a person-centered approach, my goal is to help clients explore identity, build resilience, and find confidence and emotional balance. Reaching out for therapy can be daunting, but it’s a courageous step toward change. Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, or identity exploration, I’m here to offer a supportive space where you’re heard and valued. Together, we’ll work at your pace to build clarity, resilience, and emotional balance.
