About Diana

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with expertise in behavioral sleep medicine and health psychology. I received my PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Miami in 2016. I am currently a faculty member in the Department of Preventive Medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, where I conduct research focused on developing behavioral interventions that reduce the risk and progression of chronic conditions in vulnerable adults, such as ethnic minorities and individuals who have lost their spouse.

I take a cognitive-behavioral approach to therapy as I believe that making some intentional changes in how we think and behave can have a big impact on our mental and physical health. I provide individual therapy and consultation for adults who are experiencing stress related to life transitions, insomnia or difficulty sleeping, depression, anxiety symptoms and those coping with chronic medical conditions. I am also a native Spanish speaker and can engage in therapy with clients whose primary language is Spanish.
