I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the State of California. I have 6 years experience in the mental health field. I graduated with my masters in social work from California State University, Dominguez Hills in 2014 with a specialty in community mental health, and I have a B.A. in Sociology and Chicano Studies from University of California, Santa Barbara. I have experience in CBT, trauma informed care, and motivational interviewing. I have worked in multiple settings including inpatient care, community mental health agencies, and school settings.
I am a caring, compassionate therapist, who enjoys helping others meet their goals and reach their highest potential. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space, that welcomes people of all diverse backgrounds. I like to work from a person centered approach, using empathy, unconditional positive regard and genuineness in treatment. My hope is to assist you in finding solutions to your problems while providing support and empowerment that will lead to lasting changes.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

The work that we have accomplished has been very helpful during a traumatic and transitionary time in my life. My counselor has been helpful and supportive.
Diana has been extremely insightful in my efforts towards positive mental health. She is especially good at listening to everything I have to say without cutting me off, and validated what it is I have said through confirmation or clarifying questions. She also does a good job of allowing me to come up with solutions before she offers her own and as such allows me to take a proactive role in my health. She’s great!
Diana is the best therapist I've ever spoken with. I feel comfortable speaking with her and I feel that she truly hears me. She is never judgemental and has helped me learn so much about myself and gives me the tools to help me with my goals. I am so grateful to have connected with her here.

Diana is very understanding and helpful. She gives me resources beyond just therapy, and I really couldn’t be more grateful.
