More about Diane
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LPC, LMFT
I have over 20 years of experience providing counseling for adults and children in multiple settings. I have worked with many different issues over the years. I see clients as brave to be willing to make changes. I believe in the helping process because I myself have been there, and used counseling to make my life more fulfilling. I believe this experience helps me see clients not as "sick or helpless," but as stuck in the process of a life transition, as I once was. Our therapeutic alliance requires mutual respect, honesty, clear communication and boundaries. I believe I role model these, with dignity and respect for the individual, the family and the process of change. I have experience providing a family systems perspective with a warm, compassionate, humanist-spiritual foundation. I have helped many people overcome trauma and abuse to gain a more objective view of how their "past might have influenced their present." I would be encouraging you to develop your own goals for treatment to meet your unique needs. My years of experience have taught me that we will both learn as you explore your issues. I will do my best to see the world through the lens of your personal challenges and feelings.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Diane has really helped me deal with my PTSD and was very experienced and listens to all my concerns.
When I reached out to BetterHelp I was in a very bad place emotionally financially. I was feeling alone and helpless. BetterHelp matched me with the perfect therapist for me. I’m actually amazed what a difference she has made in my life in just my first 5 visits. Diane has created a safe space where I feel totally supported and understood. I feel she truly cares about my mental health. She is a kind and wise professional with a big tool box. She has shared so many sumplr powerful techniques for minimizing anxiety, coping with grief and validating my value as a human being. As a result I do not feel alone, I am feeling stronger and more capable of dealing with the challenges that life has thrown my way. I cannot say enough good things about Diane. What a wonderful gift she has been in these difficult painful times. A light in my life which I really needed.
Diane has been an extraordinary help in a short amount of time. I can't wait to work further with her.
