Diana’s clinical approach and dialogue is to be direct, humorous, investigative, encouraging, and most importantly compassionate to those who are ready to take on the challenge to experience an emotional, behavioral, and cognitive self-transformation. Diana promotes change towards building self-confidence, autonomy, embracing boundaries, and learning balance between body, mind, and spirit. Diana preferred interventions to utilize are CBT, EMDR, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness approach, Self Compassion techniques, Attachment Based theory, and Existential therapy. Diana though, embraces and explores new holistic, practice-based, and evidenced-based techniques to assist clients in achieving their goals.
