Hello, I’m Diane.

I’ve been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) since 1997, specializing healing, resilience training and post-traumatic growth. Do It Yourself Mental Health grew from my previous work through the Women’s Counseling Center.

Most recently, I have founded the Mother Tree Collective, a nonprofit organization providing a library of resources for motivated nurturers who want to heal, both for themselves and to build a better world for future generations.

The Collective advances Zen Adjacent Therapy as a cutting-edge approach to finding connection with self and other.

A braiding of traditional and non-traditional wisdom practices, Zen Adjacent Therapy prioritizes self-empowered, personally determined points of entry to directing one’s own experiments in healing.

Self-ownership is a birthright, and this unique therapy delivery system is a means to light the way.
