Advocacy-Informed Care for Modern Families
Dina believes that every individual’s path to growth is unique and deserves a space that honors their specific identity and needs. With a Master’s from Fairleigh Dickinson University and a specialized background in Social Justice Advocacy, Dina provides a deeply affirming environment for children, adolescents, and young adults. She specializes in supporting neurodivergent individuals and their families, helping them navigate the complexities of school-related challenges, behavioral concerns, and emotional regulation with dignity and respect.
Dina’s approach is both integrative and collaborative. By blending the structure of CBT and DBT with the expressive power of Art Therapy, she allows clients to communicate their experiences in ways that go beyond traditional talk therapy.
