I am Alana
I’m excited to join you on your therapeutic journey! My approach as a therapist is all about putting you, the client, at the center of our work together. I am here to meet you wherever you are in the moment and create a safe space where you feel heard, supported, and truly understood.
Being a humble learner is one of my core values, and I believe in collaborating with my clients, as well as seeking guidance from my peers and supervisors, to provide you with the best support possible. Authenticity is crucial to me because I want you to know that you can share your vulnerabilities and true self without any judgment. In our therapeutic space, you can be yourself, and I’ll be right there with you, walking alongside you on this journey.

What
To Expect
When you step into our therapy room, I want you to feel like you’re entering a sanctuary—a place where you can freely express your emotions and experience personal growth and healing. It’s okay to feel challenged because that’s where real growth happens. Throughout this process, I’ll be your anchor, providing the support and security you need to explore your emotions and thoughts.
After our sessions, I hope you’ll walk away with an open mind, fresh perspectives, and a kinder outlook on yourself and the world around you. My ultimate goal is to empower you with insights and growth that seamlessly integrate into your daily life, helping you navigate life’s challenges with newfound strength and resilience.
Your needs, goals, and autonomy are at the heart of our work together. I value your input and will actively encourage you to lead the way. Together, we’ll co-create treatment plans and make therapeutic decisions that align with your unique journey. You are the expert in your own life, and I’m here to provide the tools and support you need.
Emotional support and validation are my top priorities. I want you to know that your emotions and experiences are valid and worthy of exploration. In our sessions, I’ll listen with empathy and understanding, creating a space where you can share openly and honestly.
Throughout our time together, I’ll be assessing your progress and evaluating our sessions. Weekly reflections will help us understand your experiences outside of therapy and integrate the insights gained into your daily life. My greatest joy comes from seeing you recognize your own progress and resilience.
