Great to meet you!

Hello! My name is Alane and it is a pleasure to meet you! I have been a Licensed Mental Health Clinician since 2004. I have held roles in direct patient care, clinical supervision, and program management. I specialize in working with adults that present with mental health, substance use/addiction, and/or life’s basic challenges. I believe in meeting patients where they are at and helping them to achieve their best life.

My approach to therapy

I operate from a person-centered, trauma informed, and strength-based approach. I aim to provide a warm and accepting therapeutic space where you can expect to feel heard and supported. My collaborative style embodies empowering patients in reaching their goals and achieving their best emotional health and wellness. I am warm-hearted but can be direct and challenging in a respectful and supportive way. I enjoy asking questions, processing options, and identifying solutions together.

What you can expect from me

During our initial session, we will get to know one another and begin the development of our therapeutic working relationship. I will gather some history, learn about what is bringing you into therapy and identify what your goals are for our time together. By session end, patients should expect to feel supported and have something to think about, or try out, until our next session together.
