Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Dr. Gonzalez came into the field of marriage and family therapy with a passion and interest in helping others find peace after a trauma experience. Her ability to connect and understand different challenges that individuals experience after a trauma has allowed individuals to transform their deep hurt to healing and finding peace.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with teens, adults and older population. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their lives.

Dr. Gonzalez's approach is very thorough. She likes to get to the root of what you're bringing and comes up with a plan to figure it out with you. She is warm, inviting, and funny.

I really like Dr. Dianna. I found that she was very honest, yet open-minded. I didn't sense any biases or judgment, and though I only had one session with her, I felt empowered and uplifted after our call. I've struggled for YEARS to find the right therapist for me and Dr. Dianna relit a light in me that dimmed over many years ago.
