Diana is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 30 years of experience providing counseling to couples, adults, teens, and children in hospitals and non-profit agencies. She started in private practice in 1993 and recently relocated from New York to Austin, Texas.

Diana is certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and uses this approach to help clients process traumatic events in their lives. She also has advanced training in EFT (Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy). She helps couples to recognize their cycle, or “dance,” and how to change their “steps” to get out of it.
