“I've referred more people to Dina than I can keep track of and that’s because she is the most reliable, consistent, genuine force I've encountered, and I trust her implicitly. In the years I’ve worked with Dina, it seems I’ve lived several lives. I've come to terms with past trauma, lost my mother to cancer, ended relationships, found my life's work, gotten married, become a nurse, became pregnant and then lost that little being... and through each of the occasions, I've had Dina as my resource. She has met me exactly where I was/am... in contemplation, in uncertainty, in celebration, in grief, and then in uncertainty again. I've found an ease around and acceptance of my imperfect processes and the courage to continue working through the waves of shame and doubt. Dina is hilarious, intelligent, bold, present, and unique. I am so grateful I was referred to her when I was, and so glad my past self took the chance and made the call to start this process. If you're looking to heal, to discover, to embrace your uniqueness and feel empowered, please connect with her.”

"I’ve worked with Dina for nine years and her guidance has been an extraordinary gift. I first came to Dina because I wanted more than anything to fix my issues around food after struggling with disordered eating since I was a young teenager. As we worked together, she showed me that my healing journey could not only lead me beyond the hurts and confusion that led my disordered eating, but into new possibilities of joy and beauty. Dina teaches as she heals, and from her, I’ve learned to live according to my own intuition and to build my own power. It would be impossible to mention all the tools and gifts Dina possesses as a healer, so I’ll mention the one I’ve found most extraordinary: she has the ability to see a person’s beautiful, true self even when they’re in pain, and to guide them back home to ease and joy in who they are.”

“I came to Dina after months of stubbornly resisting referrals from several of my closest girlfriends — all of whom sang her praises like a choir of well-adjusted angels. At the time, I was drowning in a tsunami of emotional turmoil following my divorce, my father’s terminal illness and ongoing struggle with addiction, overwhelming uncertainty in my professional life, and a profound spiritual drought. In hindsight, I realize that my resistance was simply fear of change, fear of having to do the work — and on some level, fear of my own capacity for greatness. Three years later, I’m consumed with gratitude for Dina’s gentle guidance through those dark waters, and for my friends’ refusal to let me drown. The work I’ve done with Dina is by far the greatest gift I’ve given my adult self, and I’ve gained tremendous confidence in my ability to face the tides of change. If, like my past self, you find yourself resisting the work, please know that the only thing worse than change is persisting in your suffering.”

“The word that immediately comes to mind as I reflect on my experience of Dina’s profound gift for healing is metamorphosis. I was at rock bottom when I started working with her: divorced, unemployed, virtually homeless, and in dire need of love and compassion. Dina waded deep into the muck and mire with me, and introduced me to a version of myself that is capable of boundless love and strength. Week after week, I practiced letting that part of me govern my thoughts, actions, and relationships, and I gradually began to transform. Early on, there were days I hardly recognized myself as I grew in confidence and compassion — but today I am firmly grounded in my willingness to show up and face challenges with courage and authenticity. The lesson of metamorphosis lies in our ability to find strength in the struggle so we can emerge as the powerful forces we were always meant to be. Dina serves as a brilliant conduit for that transformation, and I will owe her a debt of gratitude for years to come.”

“Dina's healing methods are built on self-empowerment and radical love - an exhilarating freedom from feeling helpless or (all-too-commonly) pathologized for one's suffering.  The tools and frameworks she teaches allow you to integrate experiences more profoundly - not only do they make navigating pain, loss and conflict feel less dangerous, but they have an unexpectedly beautiful way of transforming into interest, curiosity and ultimately compassion for the characters you meet and the texture of one's inner landscape.  Dina has radically changed my life, helping me recover from traumatic early psychiatry, navigate the milestones and trials of life, and transform feelings of uncertainty and doubt into self-care and strength.”

“Dina is a gifted therapist with a passion for guiding others toward their highest selves. She combines evidence based therapy practices with a deep love of the human spirit to walk along side a client on their path to growth and well being. Dina is compassionate and gentle, yet you can always count on her honesty and willingness to hold people accountable to their truth. She listens deeply and allows her inner wisdom to shine light on the path in front of you. With her support, clients are able to move along their path, no matter the rocks and boulders along the way. As a licensed clinician myself, I highly recommend Dina as a therapist.”

“If I could design the ultimate therapist, Dina is it.  She has been an amazing guide, counselor, and endless source of wisdom in my evolution from an anxious, insecure girl into strong, grounded woman.  I initially began seeing Dina to work on family issues that were negatively affecting my life. However, as our sessions progressed the skill set she taught me, the issues she helped me work through, and the revelations that then transpired not only transformed the relationship I have with my family but beyond my wildest dreams fundamentally and positively transformed my whole life.  With the help of Dina, I have learned how to connect with, listen to, and follow my own wisdom.  I have learned that my intuition knows exactly what it needs to know, when it needs and can know things in our ever changing and shifting world.  I have learned how to really love, accept, and take care of myself.  I have learned how to not only appreciate but take comfort in the unknowns in life that allow for flexibility and endless possibilities.  I have referred countless friends to Dina, all of which sing very similar praises.  Dina is exceptional.”

“Dina is an excellent counselor.  I've re-written this review a few times, because I'm having trouble fitting how awesome and helpful she is into this little box.  From personal to professional, big to small, easy to difficult, Dina has helped me grow in many ways.  Dina is personable, warm, and funny.  She is always compassionate, but challenges me when I need a push.  I really cannot say enough good things about her or thank her enough for all she has helped me achieve!”
