At the age of 16, Diane was a student intern at Richmond State Hospital. That sparked her interest in mental health. Her parents were helping professionals and her values were shaped by this. Later in her career, integrative care developed and she was drawn to the model combining physical and mental health.
Diane enjoys a healthy lifestyle balancing time spent with family, pets, friends, and caring for her home. She particularly likes doing outside activities in warm weather and challenging herself to learn and try new things.
"One of the best things about my profession is helping others to help themselves."
