My husband passed several years ago (2). Diane has helped me deal with many parts of the grieving process during this time. I'm so very grateful for her suggestions and faith based solutions. Having been married 46 years, actually our life together was over 50 years, with two daughters. That span of time takes in a lot of living. The loss is huge. I'm so grateful to have found Diane for my therapist! She truly has been a blessing!

Diane is supportive, caring, authentic open minded, and she does challenge me in healthy ways. I love her Christian background. Diane is warm, and receptive, yet professional. She really works to help you through your feelings, your aggression, your childhood traumas, and her insight and her genuine honest ways of helping you find answers or find ways to cope have really been instrumental for me.
My primary method is Solution Focused where I assist individuals in meeting their goals in therapy. I like to integrate Solution Focused Brief Treatment with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This approach helps develop the connection between our thinking, emotions, and behaviors. Much like, "Why did I do that?"
