Diara is a compassionate and non-judgmental counselor who believes that while we cannot control every aspect of the world around us, we can take control of how we interpret and deal with things in our environment. She strives to create a safe therapeutic environment, while simultaneously empowering her clients to lead meaningful and purposeful lives. She has extensive experience working with adults in various settings, and is well versed in treating depression, stress, grief, substance abuse, racial identity, spirituality, anger, relationships, life transitions and others.

Diara understands that therapy is not one-size-fits-all. While she is trained in numerous evidence-based interventions, Diara is a proponent of DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), which are based on the idea that healthy thoughts lead to healthy feelings and behaviors.

Diara is passionate about helping adults navigate life’s transitions and adversities, while learning to embrace and value themselves. She is looking forward to meeting you.
