Hello everyone, my name is Diane. I have over ten years of experience working in health care research including developing programs for under-serviced and marginalized populations. Hearing their struggles and learning about their courage, I have always been interested in learning about people’s life stories. As a mother of three children (including twins), I also understand the challenges of parenting and finding ways to connect with our loved ones and ourselves. My passion is to help clients feel empowered to achieve their goals, and to find more meaning and fulfilment in their lives. I utilize various therapies including brainspotting, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioural therapy, narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and emotionally focused therapy. I believe in a client-centred approach, and hold a non-judgemental, welcoming, safe space for clients to share their challenges with me. When I’m not working, I love spending time in nature, and at Farmers’ Markets with my 3 kids. I also enjoy learning and love reading research and self-help books, engaging in psycho-education training and listening to podcasts. Feel free to contact me for a free 15-minute consultation and for more information. Your healing matters. I look forward to joining you on your journey.
