Therapeutic Approach
Dian provides therapy to support clients in understanding thoughts and emotions, addressing unhealthy patterns, coping with trauma, and managing mood and behavior challenges (e.g., depression, anxiety, burnout). She also works with relationship and interpersonal difficulties (personal, professional, and family), adjustment to life transitions (e.g., retirement, grief, migration), and issues related to sexuality, gender identity, dementia, and caregiving.
Dian’s approach to therapy is inclusive, LGBTQIA+ affirming, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed. She focuses on creating a safe and collaborative environment where clients can access their inner strengths and resources to navigate new or challenging circumstances.
Her therapeutic work is grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed therapy. Dian has completed Level 2 EMDR training and Level 3 Gottman Method Couples Therapy training, enabling her to work effectively with both individuals and couples.
Dian believes that therapy is a deeply personal journey, and she tailors her approach to meet the unique needs of each client, whether they are seeking healing, growth, or greater self-understanding.
