You’ve done the work. You’ve talked it through, maybe for years. But the memories, the anxiety, the feeling of being stuck — it’s still there. That’s not a sign that healing isn’t possible. It’s a sign that your body is still holding what your mind has already processed.

I’m Diana Sturm, Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in trauma, anxiety, and dissociation. I use a combination of evidence-based approaches including somatic tapping, brainspotting, and hypnosis alongside cognitive behavioral therapy to help you heal at the level where the pain actually lives — in your body and nervous system, not just your thoughts.

I help women who are feeling stuck, unseen, or weighed down by past experiences so they can reconnect with hope, agency, and move forward into a life that feels self-directed and meaningful. This may mean experiences with:

sexual assault,

domestic violence,

medical trauma,

religious trauma,

sex trafficking,

abuse as a child, and

war experiences.

Whatever brought you here, you don’t have to keep carrying it alone. These experiences leave real marks — on your nervous system, your sense of self, and your ability to move forward. But they don’t have to define your future. Using evidence-based somatic approaches that work at the body level, we can gently process what’s been stored and help you reclaim the life you deserve.
