Counseling
Sex and Relationship Therapy
My biggest asset in the sex and relationship therapy that I offer is my comfort with sexuality and knowledge of the field. I also have deep sensitivity to others, their energy, feelings, needs and wants. I have passion for serving others for their highest good, compassion for people’s pain, and love for life and people. I believe in the intrinsic goodness of life itself and the inherent growthfulness of each person. I believe that each person has a deep spark of growth and goodness at their core which when they access it, leads to their essential truth and resources for healing, growth and greatness. I believe that couples’ primary relationships are the biggest source of individual and planetary growth. As couples heal their relationship issues, they become more peace and love filled and therefore offer that to the planet herself.
Sexuality and Spirituality
At its highest and best, sexuality is the expression of our ability to love. It is the second most important aspect of who we are besides being human. Diana offers individual, couple and group programs geared to integrate sexuality and spirituality into people’s lives and relationships. She focuses on the following areas in her work:
communication
development of intimacy;
development of comfort with the body as sacred
using sexual energy to heighten one’s spiritual connection with one’s self and one’s partner
Diana has studied Tantra Sexuality and incorporates this theme in her work. For more information about her views on Sexuality and Spirituality, please go to her audio program at Lovingway.net.
Sex Therapy
Sex therapy is one of Diana’s main areas of expertise. It is based on the knowledge of both the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of human sexual behavior. It successfully helps both individuals and couples develop a healthier and happier sex life. Diane works with sexual issues such as the inability to experience orgasm or ejaculation, lack of interest in sex, differences in sexual desire, painful intercourse, inability to have intercourse, and difficulty obtaining or maintaining an erection. Diana also works with homosexual and bisexual issues, sexual abuse and sexual compulsiveness.
Sexual Abuse
Sexual abuse can be painful and debilitating. Even though 1 out of 3 women and 1 out of 5 men have been abused as children, the subject is still filled with shame, fear & a feeling of isolation. Diana has special training & experience to help people feel save in expressing, understanding and healing from their experience.
Sexual Compulsivity
Sexual compulsivity or sexual addiction is an unhealthy dependency on a mood altering sexual experience for gratification. It can be a source of intense shame and fear and isolation. Diana provides education & therapy to individuals and couples who want to heal the pain of sexual compulsivity.

Many times, relationship issues between couples relate to past family of origin conflicts or unresolved emotional issues. These are other areas of expertise that I have and can address with individuals and couples.

For all this I am truly thankful and blessed to know her and experience her unique and valuable therapy.” — A Psychotherapy client
“I have experienced working with Diana in both personal counseling, and many group opportunities, of varied structure and goals . She has a nifty arsenal of ways “in”, where the real me resides. In every one-on-one session, I felt that we suited up, as a team, with excavating and growth tools of: trust, honor, respect, gentleness, and honesty. It is a blessing to have another heart, and soul, and hands and mind, that sees, understands, and intuitively knows to shine the light in places I can’t reach alone. She has the innate ability to be that needed team partner and leader, with everyone I have had the experience and pleasure to see her work with. In group, she also has the courage, and confidence, to invite us to partake in each others’ learning experiences I suspect many counselors would not have the skills or character to handle such an uncertain climate. She handles it with ease, and we all leave feeling really a part of each others’ process, and growth.” –An Arizona businesswoman
