Hi there, I'm Allana!

I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, stress, and life transitions, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help my clients make progress and start feeling better.

My focus

I typically work with adults who are experiencing high levels of stress or those who may be struggling with the many transitions life can bring. Anxiety and depression are also common themes my clients experience.

My approach

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my practice to help clients manage mental health challenges and life transitions by addressing unhelpful thoughts, fostering resilience, and developing practical coping strategies.

My communication style

I strive to make you feel comfortable in session by listening and partnering alongside you. I come as I am, in hopes that you speak freely and openly in a confidential environment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always wanted to become a therapist. I have always enjoyed talking with people, getting to know them, and helping along the way. The journey was not easy; I took many detours, but I made it. I value the space that I bring to my clients, and the therapeutic relationships formed are very special and keep me going.

My goals for you

I believe it is important to ask each client what they want to work on. Therapy sessions should be tailored to help the client, with their input on what to work on. I'll definitely help assist with goal setting, also focusing on solution-focused interventions.

Our first session

In your first session, I will introduce myself, get to know you, and then discuss the struggles and thoughts you are having. This time will be dedicated for you to freely open up in a nonjudgmental space.
