Testimonials

When I started working with Diane, I had a history of being very emotionally unstable and had difficulty functioning. This is something we really worked on in detail; I saw her twice a week for over three years. As a result of my work with Diane, I feel a fairly noticeable change in my level of stability and my functioning in the world. I felt that Diane was very present for me. Her ability to tolerate discord and difficulty and work through it helped me to develop trust in her, which is very stabilizing. I have been able to internalize that sense of consistency with her, which makes me more hopeful that I can develop that with other people. – I.G.

Diane is by far the most intuitive of any therapist I’ve talked to in my past. She can skip through all my b.s. and get to the point of things quickly, which is important in terms of time and money. Diane confronts me around my stuff. In the past I was able to get around the truth, but Diane catches me on things that are right on. As a result of my work with Diane, I have been able to take a look at the old dramas that I play out that are not useful to me; I am able to observe myself more and feel stronger in who I am. – G.A.

Diane has helped me connect the dots and bring unconscious material to the surface. She has helped me become aware of my interpersonal patterns and how much the past influences how I understand myself, perceive the world, and engage in relationships. Working with Diane has helped me to begin changing unhealthy patterns. I have an increased awareness that has been very freeing; it is easier to let go of the ‘ghosts’ and stop recapitulating the past. – D.W.

Not only did Diane help me understand how deep my emotional scars went, but she also guided me in recognizing the source.  Through our work she offered a safe environment to be vulnerable and gave me valuable tools to handle issues that arise. I feel much more armed with solutions as I continue to grow in my life and relationships. Thank you Diane! – P.K.

I’m a very, very private person. I have never told anybody my secrets in fifty years, but I can tell Diane. She just has a way about her that makes me feel so comfortable. She helps me realize why I have kept things in. It has been very hard to come out and tell my husband how I feel, but Diane is helping me with how to do it. – R.B.

Diane is a very professional, caring and friendly person. She has strongly encouraged personal growth and self empowerment, which has helped decrease my anxiety and stress levels secondary to family health issues now and for the future. I would highly recommend Diane to my friends and acquaintances. –M.J.
