My Approach

Hi! I'm Princess Diane, a NYC-licensed therapist who supports individuals on their healing journey.  I speak at various events to shift the dominant narrative to that of collective well-being.  

  • Trauma-Informed lens:  I am trained to support folx to be aware of triggers and the impacts in relationship to self/other.  Trauma is ancestral, interpersonal and requires deep digging in a compassionate space.  I will hold that container for your healing.

  • Decolonization stance:  For many of us, systems of oppression affects our material lives.  This is historical and present.  I intertwine this knowledge to find creative ways of self and collective care.  

  • Intersectionality approach:  You have unique challenges.  With a critical lens, we will decipher the intricacies of identity and how this impacts the solution to your problems.

​

I'm deeply committed to helping communities of color heal generational traumas that present itself in triggers, exhaustion, lack of motivation and low self-worth.  I am interested in helping us thrive and rise above victimization and survival.
