I specialize in treating patients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, erratic moods, attentional difficulties, eating concerns, or the after-effects of trauma. I provide thorough psychiatric evaluations, with attention to the psychological and social aspects of your distress, as well as to possible underlying medical factors. After an initial evaluation, usually completed in one 90-minute session, we discuss treatment options. If medication is being considered, we discuss the risks and benefits before making any decisions. Ultimately, I offer information and recommendations but respect your choices.

Hi! My name is Diana and I am a certified Family Nurse Practitioner. After working in Internal Medicine for many years, I found that the majority of my patients were struggling with their mental health and not getting the help they needed. So I decided to focus on helping people improve their quality of life through comprehensive mental health care. I will work with you to find the right medication to help with your symptoms. I believe that medications are just one piece of the puzzle and will discuss the importance of other ways to improve your mental health as well.

Our goal is to provide better mental health care for people with physical health problems and improved support for people with common mental disorders as well as those with severe mental illness. The underpinning of our care plans are based on the 6 human needs: Certainty, Variety, Significance, Connection, Growth and Contribution. We know that management of whatever you're experiencing likely falls outside of the realm of the "health care system" so we recognize the importance of having open, empathetic conversations about mental health as we continue to navigate the challenges life throws at us.
