About Diane
Welcome, and I applaud you on taking the first step toward getting your life where you would like it to be. Reaching out can be scary and I would love the opportunity to assist you on your therapy journey. Life can be challenging and my goal is to help you explore your options. I have a master’s degree in mental health counseling from Capella University. I have more than 12 years combined experience in mental health. As a licensed professional counselor in Georgia, I have worked with others who are feeling stuck in their lives. My counseling experience can work to your advantage. My counseling approach is brief solution focused therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). My goal is to help you where you are now to get to where you want to be. While this is online, it isn’t a quick fix and you will have to do some work to get to where you want to go. Whether you feel depressed, anxious, feeling overwhelmed, or not sure of your next steps, let’s talk so we can explore your next steps. I believe you can do this. Be empowered!

What clients say
- “Diane is one of many therapists that I have had in my life. The difference is, with Diane, I actually heal. I actually am able to untangle the thoughts in my head and analyze them logically instead of staying stuck—and sometimes trapped—in my emotions. Her calm demeanor and listen and then ask one question that just cuts through all the BS-strategies I’ve employed over the years to hide the truth or maybe the real issue—has truly been remarkable. I am so grateful for Diane.”
- “Diane is wonderful, she has helped me so much over the last almost year and i finally feel like I have a therapist I can trust and confide in”
- “Diane is a wonderful source of support”

I think the thing I like best is whenever I approach her with a problem, she always has an answer or a way for me to find my own solution. I'm just glad that I found her on my healing journey and I can't really thank her enough.”

- “Diane is everything you could ask for in a professional therapist. She is incredibly knowledgeable, caring, empathetic, intelligent, and compassionate — yet also grounded and logical in her approach. From our very first session, she made me feel completely comfortable opening up about deeply personal things.<br /> <br /> Her insight and guidance have been invaluable as I’ve navigated some very difficult times in my life. I truly feel supported, understood, and seen in every session. Diane’s ability to balance empathy with practical wisdom sets her apart — she’s not just a therapist, but a genuine guide through life’s challenges.”
