Great to meet you!

Welcome! I'm Alana, a Licensed Marriage a therapist dedicated to helping others navigate unforeseen complexity and stress. Early in life, I faced several difficult experiences that nearly turned my life upside-down. Thankfully, I'd been introduced to therapy at a young age which provided me with new perspectives, acceptance, and reinforced me with a sense of confident optimism - my goal in practice is to instill those same benefits in you. (Currently accepting clients virtually and in person)

A bit about my approach to therapy

I am best positioned to work with children and families who have experienced trauma, including those affected by abuse, neglect, foster care, adoption, family separation, and other adverse experiences. I understand the impact of trauma on emotional regulation, attachment, and behavior, and I create a safe, supportive space where healing can begin. I work well with children who struggle with anxiety, emotional outbursts, trust issues, or difficulty feeling safe in relationships. I also support parents and caregivers in understanding trauma’s effects and developing strategies to strengthen attachment, communication, and structure at home. Using a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach, I tailor therapy to each child and family’s unique needs, helping them build resilience, regulate emotions, and develop healthy relationships. My goal is to empower families with the tools and understanding they need to heal and grow together.

What you can expect from our first session

To start, I’ll ask questions about your family’s history, the challenges you’re facing, and what you’d like to achieve in our time together. From there, we’ll focus on strategies and techniques to help your child cope with difficulties, process trauma, overcome challenges, and bring more joy and stability to your daily lives. I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, but the impact of doing so can be life-changing for both children and parents. If you believe I might be a good fit for your family’s needs, please reach out. I would be honored to support you on your healing journey.
