Warm, engaging, active, mid-life therapist for creative, motivated, diverse, educated adults

Welcome, I'm Diane. My practice is currently full. I will be accepting new patients in October 2024. 

We are facing challenging times as individuals and as a society. Are you struggling and wondering how you are going to make it? Do you want to uncover your true potential and lead a life worth celebrating? Are you looking for someone to help you understand and transform your reactions, moods, or relationship patterns?

If you feel uncertain about the post-pandemic world and find that your priorities and goals have shifted, you are not alone. Many adults between the ages of 26 and 85+ have experienced significant changes, whether it's dealing with loss, navigating new personal or relationship challenges, or reevaluating what truly matters. It's natural to question whether it's worth it to keep pushing forward in these uncertain times.

As a compassionate, warm, and non-judgmental psychodynamic therapist, my goal is to help you find your true self and live authentically, even during these challenging times.

While we can't change difficult situations of the past or immediately solve current societal or climate problems, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life that are part of the larger systems we all navigate. By focusing on your goals, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns, negative perceptions, or internal, emotional barriers that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

If you're looking for support and guidance through a challenging personal situation, experiencing difficult emotions that are hard to understand, or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds with a variety of racial, cultural, religious, and sexual identities.

In-person appointments are available in Carytown/Richmond on an as-needed basis and by telehealth through a secure online platform. Sessions are scheduled Monday-Thursday during normal business hours. If you are ready to find out what is possible for you, please email me to be placed on a waitlist. I offer free 15-20 minute consultations to determine if I am the right fit to address your concerns. Consultations are available on Fridays from 10:00-1:00 with openings starting in October 2024.
