Specialized therapy and coaching for women navigating menopause, perimenopause, and life transitions.
Meet Diana
I've always felt this strong calling to work with women. I love helping them navigate all the twists and turns that life brings. I have been particularly drawn to understanding how our mental health is influenced not just by the world around us, our families, our culture and expectations, but also by the very real physical shifts our bodies go through.
My own experiences have been a huge part of my desire to help others.My personal journey with intense hormonal cycles started in my teens, when they really impacted my emotional well-being and daily life. When I was diagnosed with PMDD as a young adult, finding support felt impossible. Doctors didn't offer much help, and I was left with limited resources to address the overwhelming physical and mental symptoms. Every month was a struggle just to get through.
Then came motherhood. Suddenly, my private struggle became a family affair. The hormonal storms of my cycle rippled through our home, leaving my husband and children walking on eggshells. And just when I thought I was starting to understand my body's difficult rhythms, perimenopause arrived and completely rewrote the rules. The out of control cycles took a physical toll that ultimately pushed my body to its breaking point, resulting in an emergency hysterectomy.
But the journey didn't end there. Next came menopause, bringing a whole new wave of symptoms I wasn't prepared for: hot flashes, brain fog, migraines, and vertigo that left me feeling unsteady in more ways than one. It tested me in new ways that I had never experienced before, but over time, I found tools, support, and strength I didn't know I had. This time I was taking my control back.
Now, it’s my mission to help you do the same.
You're in the midst of a powerful, transformative chapter, and while it can feel confusing and overwhelming, you absolutely don't have to go through it alone. I'm here to walk beside you with compassion, clarity, and care.

My Philosophy
Women experience major life transitions where emotional, mental, and physical health are deeply connected. Hormonal shifts during these periods can significantly affect how we feel and function.
As a therapist specializing in women’s mental health, I bring a deep understanding of how these changes shape daily life. I believe women deserve care that honors their unique experiences. My goal is to support not only your emotional wellbeing, but also the physical realities that are often overlooked in traditional therapy.

FAQs
-
Many women ask, "Is what I'm feeling normal?" and the answer is often yes. Menopause can bring emotional symptoms (like anxiety or sadness) just as much as physical ones. I specialize in helping you understand and manage both.
-
Absolutely — and it’s natural to wonder. Virtual therapy (telehealth) is HIPAA-compliant, private, convenient, and flexible. Clients often find it easier to open up from the comfort of their own home.
-
A big one: "It's just hot flashes — tough it out."
No. Menopause affects your entire system, including your mental health. Getting support isn’t weakness — it’s a smart, proactive choice. -
Your first session is all about you — your story, your goals, and your needs. It’s a judgment-free, supportive conversation where we map out the next best steps together.
