Preferred Name: Diana
About Me
I'm a Board Certified Art Therapist who believes in the ability to heal through the creative process. I am passionate about helping folks reconnect to joy, play, and curiosity while healing from past hurts, trauma, and other challenges in life. I work with teens and adults, supporting each individual in finding their authentic voice and inner wisdom. My ideal client is ready to engage in deep healing work and willing to explore the process through creative materials. In an art therapy session with Diana, creative materials are used to express, explore, and process experiences. Art making deepens the therapeutic process and emphasis is often on what comes up while creating rather than on the final product itself. No prior creative experience or artistic skill is needed to benefit from art therapy.
