Hi, I’m Darian—Here to Help You Heal, Grow, and Thrive.
Through compassionate, judgment-free therapy to support you through life’s transitions and challenges. You got this!
How Did I Get Here? Welp. Therapy.
Therapy isn’t just my career—it’s personal. Growing up, I was the friend everyone turned to for advice, and while I loved helping others solve their problems, I couldn't seem to solve my own. I had crippling anxiety, people-pleasing tendencies, and major conflict avoidance but when I finally decided to put myself first and get my butt in therapy I discovered not only just how powerful therapy can be but also how powerful I can be.
For years, I operated in survival mode, stuck in a vicious cycle of fight-or-flight because for all these years it was working... right? Reality was that it wasn't working. I told myself for years that life was always happening “to” me, and I didn’t know how to break free. Therapy gave me the tools to pause, reflect, and rewrite my patterns. It taught me that growth isn’t about perfection or ‘fixing’ yourself—it’s about stepping into your power, facing the hard stuff, and learning how to truly thrive.
These experiences inspired me to become a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, specializing in women’s mental health, life transitions, and relationships. I’ve been where you are, and I know the courage it takes to ask for help. My mission is to create a compassionate space where you can feel supported, seen, and empowered to rewrite your own story.

The Experience That Shapes My Work
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals facing a wide range of challenges. My professional journey began in community mental health, where I supported adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use recovery. Starting as an intern and growing into a clinical therapist and site supervisor, I spent over five years helping people rewrite their stories and reclaim their lives.
I’ve also worked extensively in treating eating disorders, supporting clients through residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient programs. These experiences deepened my understanding of how mental health connects with every part of our lives—mind, body, and soul.
In 2023, I became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, specializing in women’s mental health, life transitions, relationships, and maternal mental health. I draw from evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) while tailoring every session to your unique needs. My goal is to provide a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered to grow.
I believe therapy should feel personal, empowering, and tailored to your needs. Here’s a little about the approaches I use to support my clients:
→ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):
Reframe negative thoughts and turn them into tools for confidence and growth.
→ Narrative Therapy:
Your story matters—together, we’ll explore it and rewrite it in a way that empowers you.
→ Solution-Focused Therapy:
Focus on what’s working and build strategies to create the future you want.
→ Internal Family Systems (IFS):
Discover and heal the different parts of yourself to create inner harmony.
→ Person-Centered Therapy:
It’s all about you—your goals, your growth, and being fully seen and heard.
→ Holistic Therapy:
Mind, body, and soul—it’s all connected, and we’ll honor every part of you.
