About Me

Hello! I’m glad you made it here! My name is Diane (she/her) and I’m a Psychotherapist, Coach, and Social Worker who is honored to bear witness to your journey through life and healing. My hometown is Austin, Texas where I earned my Bachelor and Master of Science in Social Work at the University of Texas. In my free-time I can be found crafting, learning something new about bugs and insects, concocting my favorite Korean dishes, and working to build a vibrant community.

Specialties

I specialize in working with those who have been impacted by intimate partner/gender-based violence, family trauma, difficult life-transitions, intergenerational trauma, and relational difficulties. I have extensive experience and am interested in working with those who hold marginalized identities of age, race, gender, sexuality, ability, and religion. I am passionate about walking alongside clients as they work to dismantle the role and impact of harmful power structures in their lives so that they may thrive and experience joy, ease, and euphoria in their identity.

Therapeutic approaches

My approach is trauma-informed, warm, and relational. I believe that growth and working through the toughest life-challenges is most possible with support. With the understanding that we live in an oppressive system that impacts our interactions, I work and hope to disrupt oppressive patterns so that our therapeutic relationship may uplift your healing and lead to radical change and self-care. Below are treatment modalities and theories that I use in my therapeutic practice:

  • Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

  • Narrative Therapy

  • Somatic Therapy

  • Mindfulness Therapy

  • Relational

  • Strengths-Based

  • Culturally grounded and responsive

  • Trauma-Informed

My rate is $225 for a 50 minute individual session. Sliding scale is available for those in financial need. Our services can also be submitted for reimbursement through your out-of-network benefits. To learn more about sliding scale and out-of-network benefits, visit our FAQs page.
