About me

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in TN MS, and MO. My office is based in MS. I received my Master's in Social Work from the University of Missouri, at Columbia in 2013. I have been practicing in the field for 12 years and I have over 25 years of combined and progressive work experience in medical and behavioral healthcare settings. I am a Certified Mindfulness Trainer, and I am also a Training and Education Specialist.

Get to know me

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

In our first session, I like to start with introductions and gain clarity and insight as to the client's reasoning, goals, and objectives for therapy. This is very critical and foundational in that of creating an effective personalized plan of treatment and care.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have a strong scriptural base and Christian background, and I am naturally holistic and solution-focused, in approach. I also have a natural bend in partnering and assisting clients with identifying and addressing the seemingly "little things," that many times appear insignificant and go unnoticed and undetected yet often have a great impact.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with individuals who are proactive, solution-oriented, and open to collaboration and new ideas.

Oh my goodness, I had the most enriching and insightful session! Dianna is authentic, engaging, discerning, intelligent, empowering, warm, holistic, open-minded, and very solution-oriented! I have walked away from this hour feeling energized, happy, hopeful, empowered, and encouraged. A lot was said, shared, and discussed. I am walking away with wisdom and resources. I can't wait to speak with her again on my next session!

First visit I felt comfortable, not scared! I will be back. I admire her approach was subtle & caring. Her tone was perfect.

She listens to our concerns and guides us in our efforts to improve or resolve the issues. She also has a sense of humor and makes us see that things are not as bad as it seemed at first.
