A Note From Dina
After a career in banking & finance, I chose to change careers and pursue a Masters in Social Work. I have always had an interest in human behavior, and I had come to realize that my passion lies more in helping people rather than working with numbers and focusing on the bottom line. I decided to become a therapist because I wanted to give people a space to feel heard, supported and validated. I feel honored and privileged to do the work that I do and to learn from my clients every day. My personal therapy style in best described as informal, relaxed, genuine and humorous.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, traveling, working out, taking long walks and reading.
