About
Hi there! My name is Diana and I am a licensed mental health counselor and art therapist licensed and practicing in Massachusetts. I like to integrate creativity into my therapy sessions and am passionate about accessing intuitive expression as a way to heal, grow and move forward. Let’s be honest, finding the right words can be hard! Especially when it comes to difficult emotions, overwhelming thoughts, or painful experiences. Our busy mind tries to make sense of it all, and sometimes, we just need another way to express ourselves. This is where art therapy can help.Art therapy can be used in many meaningful ways, such as providing an alternative form of communication when words are difficult to find; encouraging us to slow down and be present in the moment; enhancing joy and uplifting mood; and fostering a deeper sense of self-identity and connection with ourselves.I also offer traditional talk therapy and engaging in art is not required! My goal is to provide a space that allows you the freedom to be you without fear of judgement. Together, we will figure out systems and develop coping skills specific to your needs so you can feel more grounded and in control to truly thrive as you.
It can be really hard to feel seen in a world that doesn’t always seem built for you. We’re often told there’s a “right” way to do things—but the truth is, that way doesn’t work for everyone, and it’s definitely not one-size-fits-all. My motivation for working with neurodivergent individuals comes from a genuine belief in celebrating what makes each person unique. I love helping people recognize their strengths and feel more confident embracing who they are.Every brain works differently—and it’s time to celebrate yours! It's time to celebrate your perspective, abilities, and all the little things that make you authentically you. I believe that when you start to embrace your individuality, it can become easier to navigate challenges, let go of shame, and move past the barriers that may have been holding you back.
I provide an affirming and strengths based approach to therapy by treating every individual as unique with nonjudgmental and compassionate care. I will view our therapeutic journey as a collaboration and will prioritize your comfort, validate your experiences and offer accommodations if needed. We will focus on your abilities, attributes and interests and use them as a way to heal, grow and move forward.
