Hello
I've always believed in following your inner guidance.
As a child growing up in a culture that dismissed mental health, I often felt confused and in search of understanding the behaviors and motivations of others. This curiosity lead me into the field of psychology where I found a path to understand myself and others.
It quickly became my life's purpose to guide others in their quest for self-development.
I feel aligned, inspired, and filled with JOY when I am doing this work.
In order to consistently be the truest version of myself, I attend to my own healing daily through self-healing modalities such as meditation, prayer, exercise, nutritious eating, intention setting, and my own psychotherapy.

“Dr. Diaz taught me to believe in and focus on the Divine light inside of me, and how to use that to guide my life toward the positive. I believe we all need people who see our gifts and strengths and believe in us, especially during dark times when they can reflect our light back to us. I am so appreciative of all the ways she has done that for me." -Andrea H.
