A warm, down-to-earth presence for teens, adults, and families working through anxiety, mood shifts, and life's harder seasons.

About Diane

What people notice first about Diane is how genuinely kind and caring she is. She meets teens, adults, and families right where they are — no judgment, no rush — and works alongside them through anxiety, depression, mood shifts, relationship strain, and the transitions that leave life feeling uncertain. Clients describe her as easy to talk to and steady to lean on, someone who makes the room feel safe enough to be honest. Diane earned her Master of Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and practices as a Licensed Clinical Social Work Associate (LCSWA) in North Carolina.

Therapeutic Approach

Diane doesn't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.

Above all, the work is collaborative and paced to you, grounded in warmth and real human connection.
