I specialize in counseling with children, ages 5-12. I realize that when working with a child, I also need to work with their parent(s)/guardian(s). As Dr. William L. Coleman, a developmental-behavioral pediatrician, has stated, “You can’t just focus on the child….The family is the strongest and most enduring influence in any person’s life. You have to take it into account.” Sometimes I even work with the entire family.

We are facing an unprecedented time in collective trauma. You may find yourself overwhelmed which leads you to slipping back into old habits or shutting down, and are embarrassed that you are not coping well. It's quite possible you armor up on the outside while feeling messy on the inside. If only others knew how dreadfully stuck and scared you feel about life. Part of you wants to let others truly see “in”, yet it’s hard to trust and you don't want to appear weak or be a burden. You are exhausted and lonely. Isolation is getting to you. Connection and genuine support feels unreachable. Managing stress has become impossible.

I have a passion for helping people reach their goals and accomplish overall well-being. I offer my clients a safe place to work through their challenges together with compassion and encouragement. Each person is unique, and therefore I tailor my counseling to fit your needs. I can help you develop the skills needed to live your life to the fullest. Many things get in the way of achieving what we desire. Not only can I help you remove the obstacles in your way, but also help you develop strengths to overcome and prevent future difficulties.

Life is full of unexpected bumps that can make it difficult to handle the emotional and behavioral responses that follow them. With that said, I strongly believe that many who walk in my door already know what they need and want. My role is to not only be a listening ear, but to provide insight and skills to assist with your healing. I believe in tailoring my treatment to fit your individual needs, and make building a solid therapeutic relationship a priority.

Hi there! My name is Diana. I have been working in the therapy and Social Work world for over 10 years now. I have been lucky enough to work with a vast array of people and popultions before creating my little niche (Including Betrayal Trauma, Post Mormon Support & Porn Addiction). I have worked every where from homeless shelters, orphaneges, and very low funded treatment centers, to some of the most expensive and exclusive treatment centers in the U.S.

The decision to seek counseling is not easy, but you've made it this far, which is a courageous first step. If you are here, you are probably seeking personal change and growth. Many of us do not want to accept uncomfortable emotions, such as depression or anxiety. I help people identify their values and the aspects of life worth suffering for. When we can accept and allow discomfort, we can live a vital life now, filled with value and meaning, as opposed to waiting until we feel "better." Through insight, I empower you to understand your personal history and the important role that history plays in the present.

Navigating sexual health, intimacy, and connection can be a complicated, yet meaningful process. I work with a broad range of sexual issues, including out of control sexual behavior/sexual addiction, post cancer-sex, erectile dysfunction, rapid/early ejaculation, vaginismus/dysperunia, safe sex, infidelity, loss of desire, gap in desire, kink/BDSM, LGBTQ+, polyamory, pornography concerns, and resolving conflict between spirituality and sexuality. In addition, I educate parents regarding how to create shame-free conversations with their children about sex.

I specialize with individuals suffering from trauma which could be anything from: domestic violence survivors, sexual assault survivors, childhood trauma, refugees, chronic illness, self-worth issues, bullying, and adjusting issues.

Do you find that you are especially hard on yourself? You've done everything you know how to have a satisfying life, but can't seem to feel confident with what you have going for you. Perhaps you've been in a relationship where you felt it was wrong to have wants and needs. Or maybe you fear that someone will discover you as a fraud at work. Perhaps your parents understand you about as well as most understand Latin. In any case, it scares the pants off of you to think about standing up for yourself. You are certainly not alone in the struggle.

The decision to seek therapy is never easy. Many have said (myself included) “I’m too busy,” I don’t know what to talk about,” “I’ll figure things out on my own,” “I feel weak asking for help.” One of Carl Jung’s most well-known quotes reads “what you resist, not only persists, but will grow in size.” While often true, it is much easier said than done. It is normal to have fear and even resistance towards change. I hope to work collaboratively with my clients, which creates safety and allows change to occur.

Ana grew up in Mendoza, Argentina in a city with a landscape and four seasons, just like Utah. This came with a gift, she speaks Spanish, and is trying very hard to learn Portuguese (for now she can understand it very well). Ana earned her bachelor’s degree at the Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, in Argentina and her master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) at Argosy University, the Draper, Utah campus. Before becoming a therapist, Ana was a music teacher and she loved working with children and teenagers. Ana’s therapeutic approaches are rooted in Solution-Focused Therapy and Trauma Focused-CBT (TF-CBT).

You may be wondering if you need therapy, or if you should return to therapy. You may feel as though your emotions are in control of you, rather than you being in control of your emotions. You may become tearful, or cry, at unexpected moments; you may have angry outbursts. You may find yourself thinking negatively about yourself or others a lot of the time. You may be concerned about unhealthy habits, such as disordered eating, self harm, or addiction. You may be having thoughts of death or feelings of hopelessness; in which case, therapy can give you the tools and techniques to improve the issues you are facing.

You have already made steps towards growth by getting on this website. You are ready for change. You have within you incredible capacities of resilience, courage, and creativity. Nobody is perfect, nor complete—but that’s not what life offers. Life offers chaos, evolution, and transformation. Sudden conflict, anxiety, fear, traumatic stress, loss, interrupted family/marital relationships, abrupt transitions—all these and more can challenge one’s ability to maintain a presence of strength in the midst of what appears to be a capricious, divisive, unstable, and fragmented world.

"We are always in a perpetual state of being created and creating ourselves." ~ Daniel J. Siegel. Living while feeling numb and disconnected can be lonely. Anxiety and fear sometimes spiral into feeling helpless. Watching our children isolate themselves, seeing them suffer is heartbreaking.

I enjoy helping families learn the skills of cooperation, compassion and understanding to help the family unit work, communicate and grow with each other. I also work with couples with varying dynamics that are in a relationship. We work on restoring open and honest communication, breaking destructive patterns, and manage the different phases of a relationship. I work to give the couples skills that they can take from the session into their daily lives; such as deeper passion for each other and a greater sense of a more fulfilling relationship.
