“I wish I knew how it would feel to be free.” Song by Nina Simone.
“Man, sometimes it takes you a long time to sound like yourself. ” Miles Davies.
"I was going through a tough time mentally, struggling with concerns and being truly honest with myself and with my family about my worries. Through my therapy sessions, I found her understanding and encouraging as she guided me through the sessions. I found relief talking and working out my worries.Thank you for the blessing in my time of need."
"Diana's professionalism is admirable and unparalleled. She is invested and interested and you can feel that her support is heartfelt and personal. At the same time, she is a private person. It is clear that she has a deep insight into the relationship between client and psychologist. Talking to Diana has been like having a witness. My three years of therapy was like a training program: It was one long exercise in meeting myself - and meeting myself with gentleness. For me, that was the biggest and most difficult exercise. But Diana's ability to create a safe and trusting space enabled me to acquire that ability. It was as if she passed on her loving, critical and curious gaze to me so that I could see (and continue to see) and meet myself with all my wounds, vulnerabilities and strengths in an appropriate and edifying way"
"Diana has helped me realize that I am not my feelings, but that I have my feelings. There is a big difference. Before, I could get to the point where I felt like my world was collapsing around me. I could feel like my head wasn't above water, but falling into deep, black holes where I was afraid to be. I have been helped to practice techniques where I can regulate my own mood and avoid reaching a place where I can't reach the bottom. Emotions come and go; that thought alone can get you through a lot, I think. Most importantly, I've been reminded to have compassion for myself. The world is not black and white. And the past is not a romanticized pocket where all the good things have gone. I was helped to realize the above during the year I spent talking to Diana. And these are conversations that I have packed up and stored in the front of my breast pocket, which is scarred and therefore healing."
