Great to meet you!

Hi! My name is Alanna and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families. My practice includes supporting individuals who find themselves feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in unhealthy yet familiar patterns of people-pleasing. My clients may feel lost in their relationships, disconnected from their true identity, and burdened by the pressure to keep everyone else happy.

My approach to therapy

I strive to promote authenticity, empathy and transparency in a safe, supportive and empowering environment. I believe in taking a collaborative approach by working at your pace but also challenging you to push past your comfort zone to achieve your goals. I utilize multiple evidenced-based approaches and provide psycho-education on the how, what and why behind your thoughts and behaviors.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to provide a space where you can reconnect with yourself and, begin to untangle the patterns that no longer serve you. Together, we'll work to help you build self-trust, strengthen your sense of identity, and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships- starting with the one you have with yourself.
