Diana received her Bachelors degree from Florida State University and her Masters in Counseling Psychology from Troy University. During her internship, Diana worked with children of domestic violence and adolescents in the foster care system.

Diana completed two years as a registered mental health counselor intern, providing counseling services to youth from all over the state of Florida in the custody of the Department of Juvenile Justice. While working primarily with juvenile sex offenders, Diana has also treated adolescents with substance abuse issues, conduct disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, disruptive mood disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and many more common behavioral disorders. Diana’s therapeutic approach is rooted in client-centered care, always prioritizing the individual goals and needs of each client. She has been trained in Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and uses this technique to help individuals process and recover from traumatic experiences. She believes when you show up in an authentic way for your clients, it creates a sacred space where real change can happen. Her vision continues to grow and she hopes to be a positive influence on her community. She currently offers counseling services to both adolescents and adults at the Destin Counseling Center, helping individuals navigate challenges with compassion and expertise.
