Work With Me

work-with-dianeWork With Me

Please note: I’m not currently accepting new clients since writing and publishing my new book, Healing Emotional Eating for Trauma Survivors: Trauma-Informed Practices to Nurture a Peaceful Relationship with Your Emotions, Body, and Food. If this applies to you, my book will help. You can order using the link above.

While I’m not accepting new clients, if you’re a former client and want to resume therapy, feel free to contact me as I may be able to add you to a waiting list.

Taking that first step to reach out for help can feel scary… I know. Take your time. As you read, trust your intuition about what feels right.

We’re not meant to go it alone in life. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Many people feel nervous the first time they see a therapist or life coach. If you feel that way, too, that’s okay. My approach is warm, friendly and engaging. Most likely after our first session—or the first time we connect on the phone—you’ll feel a sense of relief.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist, certified life coach and Reiki healer, so I offer you several paths for healing and transformation.

Together we’ll create a plan that works best for you:

  • To overcome painful childhood wounds, depression, anxiety or trauma, I offer you 30 years of skilled training and experience as a mental health practitioner to help you heal.
  • To find solutions to problems you’re experiencing right now or clarity about the direction of your life, life coaching gives you tools to help you envision and create a road map for meaningful change.
  • To go deeper and remove blocks from your energy field, I offer energy healing tools such as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also called Tapping, and Reiki healing practices.

Our Work Together

My style is direct—with a touch of humor. I’ll tell you what I think and help you process your feelings, expand your thinking and take action to create change in your life.

Our work together is holistic: Mind, body and spirit. I believe we’re spiritual beings having a human experience. Whatever problems you’re facing, you’ll learn to find peace in your mind, listen to your body’s needs and nourish your soul.

You hold a wealth of wisdom within you. When you connect with that wisdom—your inner guidance—you hear the whispers of your intuition guiding you to your highest and best life.

Helping you make this connection and take care of you is my priority.
