Hi, I’m Diana.
I believe that healing and growth happen when one is truly heard.
As a therapist, I strive to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space to support this process and help you move past fears and obstacles that may be getting in the way of your peace and happiness. Specifically, I help adults in NY, NJ, MA, and FL navigate distress and other emotional difficulties that may be affecting your daily life, be it in your relationships or career. You can learn more about the therapy process and what it’s like to work with me. In addition to being a therapist, I also work with individuals in a coaching capacity, which you can learn more about here.
I am particularly interested in working with 1.5 and 2nd generation Asian Americans, BIPOC, and expats. As a native New Yorker, 2nd generation Taiwanese-American, and digital nomad, I’m especially attuned to issues of belonging and marginalization, and the complexities that arise from moving between multiple cultures and identities.
Prior to practicing therapy, I worked in advertising and marketing. I have found that my own winding path has given me a unique perspective and ability to connect with a variety of individuals and their struggles.
If this resonates with you, I invite you to schedule a complimentary video consultation and take the first step towards feeling better. I would be honored to help you reshape your life story to create more meaning, ease, and fulfillment.
