Hi! I’m Diana. My experiences as a client were what inspired me to be a counselor. When I went to counseling, the support and help I received was very beneficial. Now I strive to provide the same for those that want to cope with difficulties, overcome obstacles and live an authentic, fulfilling life. I am very grateful for the privilege to be part of my clients’ journeys.
As a warm and compassionate counselor, I take a person-centered approach and work collaboratively with my clients. I was fully trained to practice EMDR Therapy in December 2022, and it has since become my main therapy modality. I have been both excited about and humbled by the progress my clients have been making in their healing. Currently, I am working towards becoming an EMDR Certified Therapist by taking continuing education courses and working with consultants. Other than EMDR, techniques from CBT, Interpersonal Process, SFBT and DBT are also utilized in my sessions.
I am a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive therapist. I enjoy working with whomever that would like to improve their mental health and is willing to put in the work, especially those from historically marginalized communities, for instance, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, international students and immigrants. I am bilingual in English and Mandarin, and I offer services in both languages.
