Trauma and PTSD
You have taken the first step towards empowerment in your life by wanting to make a change! I have been where you are right now. I have experienced anxiety and irrational thoughts. I can totally relate to what you are going through. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Syndrome, an autoimmune disorder that mimics depression and bipolar, multiple sclerosis, and stage three chronic kidney disease. For a while, I never wanted to leave my house, get out of bed and found it difficult to face the day. I was able to overcome so many things and so can you. I always encourage my clients to get a medical check-up prior to mental health treatment to rule out any physical health symptoms.

My perfect client is someone who wants to feel better but is struggling to make it happen on their own.

I am licensed therapist in Florida with over 15 years of professional work experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I am EMDR trained and work with children, teens and adults. My therapy style and approach draw influence from Gestalt, Cognitive-Behavioral, Mindfulness and Reality based theories. My interventions include client-centered, motivational interviewing, thought restructuring, and mind/body connecting. I have extensive experience with Trauma, Addiction, Self Esteem/Confidence, Anxiety, Anger, ADD/ADHD, and Depression. I chose to be a therapist when I realized that people’s thoughts, feelings, and actions are rooted in their self-concept and it made sense for me to help with the pain, to be a supporter and cheerleader. My toolbox is large and eclectic and enables me to meet you where you are and help you move forward. We will design your treatment plan specifically for your wants and needs. You have found an ally in this process.

You've already succeeded, you took the first step, you reached out to find solutions to the unsettling emotions/ issues you've been experiencing. As a Marriage/Family therapist, EMDR and SE trauma specialist, I work with you collaboratively, advocating and supporting you to strengthen your voice and become more assertive in your life. I often work with clients that feel stuck, helping them create a life that is vibrant and alive. Imagine being present without needing to numb the pain when triggers or challenges arise. Let me guide you whether as an individual a couple or family. In sessions we'll decode emotional patterns, clarify systems that developed and strengthen the family's communication skills to enhance unity by enbracing eachother's differences. Somaticlly trained, I work with spectrum/bipolar/PTSD disorders; increasing awareness of the nervous system/sensory integration/social skills that need boosting for connection. When advocating for survivors of abuse I often see survivors in the most distant places becoming alive again. I have supported them in rebuilding their identity and trust while relearning to connect in a grounded way. Sessions always incorporate the mind and body.

Do you seek guidance in your life at this time? Everyone has a story to tell and I'm here to listen to yours. We may not always be able to clearly see our options to manage stress, emotional pain and confusion, so beginning therapy is a great way to process these emotions and thoughts in a safe, caring and non-judgmental way. Perhaps your fears or worries about relationships, career, a sense of inadequacy or the need to be perfect are holding you back. Therapy helps to facilitate healing and growth. I welcome the opportunity to work with you to improve your sense of success and live your life to the fullest. I've been working with teens and adults for 20 years specializing in: trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, family/relationship conflict, loss/grief, chronic illness and self esteem.

You DESERVE to Re-SET, To Re-FUEL, To Re-CHARGE. And then TAKE FLIGHT! Since entering the field of therapy I have learned to ascribe to the adage “all behavior has meaning.” Yes, ALL behavior. A deep curiosity for why we all act and think the way we do coupled with my own life’s challenges and experiences has led me to a place of compassion for not only my own life choices but compassion for others. Our thoughts lead to feelings, which leads to action. We are not always proud of our actions. As a woman, mother, wife, and veteran I know all too well the shame that comes with our personal choices and behaviors. I also know there is also a fear of JUDGEMENT when it comes to considering therapy. This is a no-judgement zone and if you are seeking a different feeling and action in your life then you have landed at the right place!

Ever since I was a little girl, I felt the need to help others; making a positive change in someone else’s life brought immense joy to my life. Coming from an immigrant family with limited resources, I joined the military to achieve my educational goals. While in the military, I moved a lot and had the opportunity to meet people from different cultures, backgrounds, and religions. I learned how our differences make us unique, interesting, and just wonderful. However, these differences sometimes create conflict on the inside and also on the outside. For this reason, I decided to become a social worker and help make a positive change in the world, one person at a time. It is so hard to try to tell your life story to a stranger, but just know I'm here to help you find the strength you thought you lost but is just hiding deep in you. We will work together to help you achieve your goals. Spanish: Es my dificil contarle su historia a un estrano, pero yo estoy aqui para ayudarle a encontrar su fuerza interior para mejorar.

As a therapist, I treat a wide range of mental health issues and life adjustment challenges. I am experienced in helping clients relieve anxiety using various techniques, including neuro-linguistic programming. For those who have suffered past traumatic events, we can use cognitive/behavioral tools to help reconcile the emotions connected to the events. If you happen to live in or near Ocala and are able to come in person for session, we can utilize a treatment called Accelerated Resolution Therapy to neutralize heightened emotional responses.

Hi, I’m Diann. I work with ambitious women who look like they have it all together but are secretly running on empty. You’re juggling careers, kids, and responsibilities everyone else depends on—yet inside, you feel anxious, burned out, and stuck in cycles of overthinking. You’ve tried managing it on your own, but the stress and self-doubt keep coming back. Therapy with me is a partnership—compassionate, strategic, and real. I blend the structure of CBT, the deep healing of EMDR, and the forward-motion of solution-focused therapy. Together, we’ll untangle patterns, shift beliefs, and build tools that actually stick—not just in theory, but in your everyday life. This isn’t endless talking in circles. My approach is modern, trauma-informed, and tailored to you. We’ll laugh, process, challenge old narratives, and create meaningful change that frees up your energy—for your work, your relationships, and yourself. If you’re ready to trade chaos for clarity and pressure for peace, I’d love to help you get there.

I am a dedicated mental health therapist with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and heal from past experiences. I primarily serve adults and young adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, codependency, and relationship issues. Many of my clients are working through complex emotional patterns, past trauma, or navigating transitions in their personal or professional lives. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and goal-oriented. I utilize evidence-based modalities such as CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness to support clients in gaining insight, building coping skills, and creating meaningful change. The impact of this work can be transformative—clients often develop stronger self-awareness, improved emotional regulation, healthier relationships, and a renewed sense of empowerment in their lives.

Have you felt as if sometimes you are drowning in your emotions instead of just experiencing them? Does anger, sadness, anxiety, or fear keep impacting your life in ways you don't want it to? Do you struggle managing your emotions and would love to learn how to cope with them effectively? Do you struggle with thoughts of self-harm, of not being good enough, hopelessness, or emptiness? Or do you have children/teens that might be going through these things? If you want a therapist who will not judge you and will help you manage what seems unmanageable, you have found me! I want to help you or your child/teen, start your new healing journey and enjoy life once more!

I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida as well as a certified EMDRIA-approved EMDR therapist. I specialize in working with people who feel overworked for other people in their life while feeling underappreciated and left alone, feeling confused about who they are and what they can do to gain a sense of control back in their life. I became a psychotherapist because I've experienced the need to have someone who can show me what I could not see because they have a genuine interest in my well-being and potential. Together we will find the root of your behavioral/emotional difficulties from scientific, psychological, and spiritual perspectives. You will uncover resources that can only be found in you to overcome the difficulties. Eventually, striving for wholeness will be the life journey that you will gladly take on outside of a therapy session.

I help high-achieving women and teens break free from perfectionism, self-doubt, and the constant pressure to feel “enough.” On the outside, many of my clients seem successful—but inside, they’re navigating anxiety, overwhelm, or the weight of past experiences shaping how they see themselves. As a neurodivergent therapist with ADHD, I know firsthand how a busy brain can feel isolating and chaotic. That perspective guides my approach: compassionate, flexible, and tailored to how each person thinks, feels, and processes the world. In our work together, I help clients uncover the patterns fueling stress while giving practical tools to feel grounded and confident. Teens learn to manage big emotions and social pressures, while women release old beliefs, find balance, and redefine success on their own terms. My mission is simple: you deserve more than survival—you deserve to thrive. Let’s reconnect with your strengths and create a life that feels authentic and empowering.

Wanting to teach brought me to counseling, which ironically, has allowed me to explore the journey of life with those who seek guidance, and it is the aspect I perhaps love most about being a clinician. I am passionate about community which has led me to working with individuals, young adults, couples and their families in diverse settings such as private practice, therapeutic schools, outpatient treatment, residential treatment, and criminal justice settings.

I like to use a gentle, caring, non-judgmental and creative approach utilizing modalities such as ACT, CBT, EMDR, ART and therapeutic art. My office is in Neptune Beach, FL. I see individuals, couples and families. I got into counseling because I love to listen! It was second nature to me, growing up. I also delved into the works of Carl Jung as a teen, and never looked back. Images, metaphors, archetypes and dreams all inform my practice; they help us process and resolve questions.

When your life feels overwhelming, uncertain, or out of control, you may not feel like yourself. Everyday tasks seem a little harder, you may feel more impatient or sensitive, and your mind seems to focus on the wrong things. My goal is to help you navigate through these challenges in a safe and non-judgmental space so you may live a more balanced, authentic, and peaceful life. I believe that what you do in-between counseling sessions is more important than what we discuss during appointments. Therefore, I take an experiential, hands-on approach by providing you with practical tools you can use in your daily life. I see myself as a cheerleader and will work to empower you by identifying and utilizing your strengths, increasing your personal insight, and helping you see these challenges with a different perspective. I genuinely want to help you reach your goals and find relief. I have diverse experience, including binge eating disorder, grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, LGBTQ+, self-esteem, OCD, ADHD, adjusting to college, relationship conflicts, and more.
