My therapeutic work tends to resonate with people who have spent a long time thinking their way through distress and are ready for something that goes deeper. I tend to work well with people who are struggling with a persistent sense of loneliness or feeling misunderstood, and who need therapy to be able to hold complex layers of experience. Many are navigating a queer, trans, or neurodivergent experience that doesn't fit easily into any category, struggling with nuanced questions about relationships and sexuality, or bearing the weight of repeated traumas, anxiety, and depression.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, my work is rooted in creating a therapeutic space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, the weight of trauma, cultural or racial identity concerns, life transitions, or relationship challenges, you don't have to face it alone. With a particular passion for supporting BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, my practice is designed to be inclusive and affirming for all patients, and especially meaningful to those who haven't always felt centered in their care. Our work together is genuinely collaborative, because healing happens best when you're an active part of the process. Bridging that gap, together, is what I'm here for. From the moment we begin working together, you can expect a space that is warm, nonjudgmental, and tailored to who you are. No two people carry the same experiences, backgrounds, or goals, and your care shouldn't look like anyone else's. Drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness, my approach is integrative, person-centered, and always collaborative. My style is kind yet purposeful: together we'll work toward recognizing your needs and building the practical tools to meet them. Guiding you toward the support and strategies that help you thrive is what drives every session we share. My path to becoming a therapist began in research. Working as a research coordinator, I found myself consistently drawn to the deeper stories behind the data, and to the real concerns people in our studies were carrying with them. It became clear that being a therapist was the right fit, the place where I could do the most meaningful work. That background in research and community mental health shapes how I practice today. It gave me a unique lens for understanding how large-scale societal and structural forces ripple down and affect individuals in very personal ways, and a commitment to integrative, community-rooted care that I bring to every session. Outside of the therapy room, you'll find me soaking up a Broadway show, getting lost in a good book, or somewhere out in the world on my next travel adventure. Water has always been a source of joy for me, whether that means snorkeling, diving, or simply swimming. Lately, I've been diving into new creative outlets as well, teaching myself embroidery and showing up to Pilates class regularly. They've become my favorite way to reset between sessions and return to the work feeling fully present for you.

I provide a collaborative, affirming approach to therapy that combines mindfulness, skill-building, and empathetic exploration, drawing on my training in evidence-based treatments such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In our work together, we will challenge what isn’t working in your life, while celebrating and building upon your existing strengths. My areas of specialty include life transitions (e.g. moving, starting a new job or school, relationship beginnings or endings), anxiety and worry, depression, LGBTQIA+ issues, identity concerns, and trauma. I often encourage conversations about identity, oppression, and privilege with my clients, as I believe therapy can provide an important space to understand and address the effects of racism, sexism, heterosexism, classism, and ableism on our lives.

Past experiences may be affecting how you see yourself, relate to others, or move through the world. Healing is possible. Many come to therapy feeling weighed down by trauma, difficult relationships, low self-esteem, or unresolved childhood experiences. You may be functioning on the outside while feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of yourself on the inside. Many of the adults I work with struggle with trusting themselves or others, setting boundaries, or feeling worthy of care and connection. Therapy can help you build insight, strengthen your sense of self, and develop healthier, more fulfilling relationships. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with people seeking deeper understanding, healing, and meaningful change. My approach is warm, exploratory, and open, with an emphasis on creating a space where you feel safe enough to be honest and work at your own pace. My style is collaborative and nonjudgmental, grounded in respect. Beginning therapy takes courage. If you’re ready to explore your experiences in a supportive and compassionate environment, I invite you to reach out.

As a therapist, I believe that you have the capacity to find your way back to yourself. With a long background in the field of dance and training in somatic therapies, I see the body as a powerful window to our feelings and the place where healing really happens. I also know the body can be the site of a lot of wounds, judgements, and shame, making it hard to access. I’m here to help you hold the painful parts so that your natural ability to heal can emerge. Using a combination of somatic, psychodynamic and behavioral approaches I will help you build the self-awareness and compassion needed to feel more at home in yourself.

Let’s be honest. Underneath that polished veneer, the cracks are starting to show. You’ve tried handling them yourself, because that’s who you are – independent, resourceful, and always able to take care of yourself. But the spackle is breaking. Who are you if not that characterization of success, living up to the expectations set by your parents, friends, and middle school basketball coach? Maybe those cracks are the result of you running full speed against a wall, again and again. If you’re ready to find another way around the wall, I'm your person. Let’s be honest.

I specialize in helping people with low self-esteem, relationship issues, trauma and PTSD, men’s issues, and improving communication/boundaries. My goal is to unravel the complicated, call out the excuses we tell ourselves, and support you in identifying the barriers holding you back from living the life you really want to live. Because you're you, you could probably continue pushing through on your own. But you don’t want to keep the status quo. You want growth, improvement, to find the best version of yourself. So let’s start there. When you're ready to get some help, please reach out to me or visit my website to learn more about how I work.

You have the strength and agency to shape what comes next, even when the past feels heavy and the path forward feels unclear. If you're feeling overwhelmed, unsure of where to begin, or simply longing for a change, you're not alone. Therapy is a space where you can be deeply seen, heard, and supported, and I believe it should feel that way from the very first session. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma-informed therapy, grief, emotional dysregulation, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and deeper insight-oriented work for adolescents, young adults, and adults. Many of the people I work with feel emotionally overwhelmed or stuck in patterns that are hard to break – racing thoughts, relationship difficulties, unresolved pain, and intense emotions interfering with daily life in ways that feel isolating and exhausting. Whether you're navigating mood changes, grief, family conflict, burnout, identity concerns, or trauma-related experiences, you deserve warm, grounded support that helps you better understand yourself, feel safe exploring difficult emotions, and develop healthier ways of coping. Together, we'll work toward greater insight, emotional resilience, and self-trust at a pace that feels authentic and manageable for you. Integrating psychodynamic and humanistic therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) techniques, I support both practical coping and meaningful emotional healing with compassion, collaboration, and authenticity. My goal as your engaged and emotionally attuned partner is to help you gain insight into the underlying patterns driving your distress, while empowering you to build lasting change and stronger relationships with yourself and others. In our sessions, you can expect a warm, curious, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel genuinely seen and heard. Insight-oriented exploration works alongside practical coping tools to help you better understand your emotions, process difficult experiences, and move through life with greater emotional flexibility and resilience. Treatment is tailored to your unique needs, goals, and lived experiences, because no two people, and no two paths forward, are exactly alike. A deep interest in understanding emotional suffering, relationships, and the ways early experiences shape our sense of self led me to this work. Through years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and couples navigating complex emotional and relational challenges, a strong commitment to trauma-informed, compassionate care has become the foundation of everything I do. Warmth, authenticity, curiosity, and deep emotional presence are what I bring into the therapy space now, because meaningful healing requires feeling safe enough to explore, process, and grow. Reading, gardening, cooking, spending time outdoors, and caring for animals are all things that bring me genuine joy and keep me grounded. Creativity, reflection, and meaningful connection are values I hold closely, and they naturally shape the thoughtful, compassionate approach I carry into my clinical work.

Through listening, caring, and working together with my clients, I recognized that some emotional and psychological issues are often managed by initiating small life changes and making healthier choices. ​ My goal and passion is to assist and empower my clients to identify the changes they choose to make to have the life they have desired. I will assist them in achieving their goals while supporting them as they carry out their plans to live a healthier life. Please notes sessions can be face to face or virtual.

Our clients are hard working, high achievers — the ones who seem to have it all together but are quietly anxious, exhausted, or disconnected underneath. They've spent years being praised for performing well, so asking for help doesn't come naturally to them. We work best with people ready to slow down and honestly look at patterns they've outgrown, even when that's uncomfortable.

Hi, I’m Dianne. I’m glad you’re here!

My intention is that our sessions allow you to feel deeply known, and that through our work you’ll feel more free to be authentic in your life and relationships.

I draw from psychodynamic, relational, somatic, mindfulness, and compassion-based approaches. If you’re struggling with anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, or questions of meaning and purpose, let’s talk.

Much of my practice has centered around understanding the unique complexities surrounding identity development and interpersonal relationships. I work with a wide range of presenting issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, grief, and trauma. I specialize in relationship distress, life transitions, communication challenges, sexuality and gender related issues, and consensual non-monogamy/polyamory. I believe that transformative therapy begins with a collaborative and trusting therapeutic partnership, one that highlights the unique knowledge, strengths, and skill sets of each client entering the room. Through trauma-informed practice, I aim to facilitate a safe and affirming therapeutic space. I recognize the ways in which institutions, systems, and intersectional identities impact individual experiences and overall wellbeing. My integrated approach to psychotherapy is based upon person-centered, existential, and attachment-based perspectives. I am passionate about exploring the ways in which attachment and trauma impact how an individual’s identity is formed.
