Hey, I’m Alaina! We all struggle and its uncomfortable, yet – it’s a normal and natural part of everyone’s life. When we struggle, we might notice we get stuck in thoughts, behaviors, relationships, and patterns we recognize are not helping us, but we don’t know how to stop or change these patterns. No worries, we have all been there! We will explore how these patterns have served you to this point, what barriers are keeping you feeling stuck, and figure out what changes you want to make to live the life that is meaningful to you! You will be able to implement effective tools to feel more centered and work towards your goals with more confidence. We will use a few different talk therapy approaches to help individualize the therapeutic experience to your needs and help you accomplish your goals. There are so many effective tools/ skills out there that can help you feel empowered, grounded and engaged in meaningful ways. Let’s work together and identify what feels best for you.
Finding a therapist is difficult, it’s scary, and it can be overwhelming – there are so many different providers just on this site! I’m here to help. I’ll work with you to closely examine your past and present experiences to better your future. I promise you that in our sessions, I will bring empathy, honesty, collaboration, and an open mind. So, how do I practice? I’m an integrative therapist – I’m trained in psychodynamic therapy, and I use tools from other treatments, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, when appropriate and to better serve you. Basically, I believe we need to journey together to explore what internal anxieties, traumas or experiences are causing you discomfort, pain, or just a general feeling of being “stuck.” And I’ll also work practically with you in the here and now to provide further insight and relief. Ultimately, the relationship between therapist and client is incredibly important to helping you achieve your goals. I’ll do my best to make you feel safe, seen, and heard. I’m honored that you’re willing to give this a chance, and I invite you to reach out for a free consultation to see if we’re a good match.

My practice focuses on the mind-body connection, providing an affirming space where you can explore your experiences, gain valuable insights, build resilience, connect deeply with your body, and work towards meaningful, lasting change. I believe in the transformative power of vulnerability and the beauty of embracing your true self. As a PhD student in mental health counseling, my research and practice center around gender and sexual diversity.

I believe we have a natural tendency toward growth, striving to feel more fully ourselves. Sometimes that vitality gets disrupted, leaving you feeling depressed (as though nothing will change) or anxious (afraid things will only get worse). You may sense life could be different, but feel stuck without a clear path to follow. Psychotherapy can help you understand how and why these struggles developed and discover a new path toward feeling better. With over 25 years experience and advanced training, I provide a warm and confidential space where you can explore challenges, gain new perspectives, and take steps toward deeper satisfaction and emotional security.

My approach emphasizes relationship and rapport building, empathy, and compassion. You are the writer of your own story, but together we can work on developing tools tailored to your specific needs. My background includes working with adolescents and adults from various communities and cultures experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, cancer, PTSD, mood disorders, executive dysfunction, or disruption in family and/or relationship dynamics. As a therapist, my goal for my clients is to assist them in achieving their goals based on the strengths they already possess, building upon those strengths, and creating new ways to adapt to different life events and stressful circumstances.
Welcome, glad you're here! Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile. Creating a trusting environment for you is paramount. I am passionate about helping people feel safe, validated, and heard. This is a collaborative experience where we'll work together to examine relationships and communication, increase self-compassion and emotional regulation, and develop insights into your beliefs and behaviors. We can also discuss how nutrition and gut health play an integral, fundamental role in achieving comprehensive wellness. I want to help you feel empowered, live your most satisfying life, and be the best version of yourself. I believe such comprehensive wellness requires a holistic approach that includes exploring our emotional, physical, and energetic selves so we may better appreciate the interdependence of our internal systems. Since therapy is a unique, interactive process, I use several approaches including Psychodynamic, Polyvagal Informed Therapy, IFS (Internal Family Systems), and life experiences to deepen the work. When we have understanding, compassion, and context, we begin to release negative feelings and can start to forge ahead creating different pathways and skills to handle life. After shedding light on what brings us shame, it loses its hold over us. As Brene Brown offers, “when we deny the story, it defines us. When we own the story we can write a brave new ending.” While there are uncomfortable feelings that arise in therapy, there is also laughter, connection, insight, compassion, and relief. In addition to discussing how you want to improve your life, we also talk about what is going well for you and what positive things you are doing that help you have meaningful relationships and make successful decisions. Most often the therapeutic relationship is the vehicle through which deep healing and lasting change occur. I invite you to notice, honor, and “welcome all of your parts” with compassionate curiosity. Together, we look at the past to inform the present and work towards a brighter future. .
I have clinical experience at a large university counseling center in New York, and my time there made me realize how much I like working with college students of all kinds. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing adjustment issues, relationship distress, stress-related problems, trauma effects, depression and mood dysregulation, and life transitions. I emphasize an integrative, eclectic approach to healing and wellness that includes psychodynamic psychotherapy and mind/body awareness. I'll help you explore feelings, sensations, and past experiences, making sense of what we discover and creating the changes necessary for a more vibrant life.
Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed by anxiety, upsetting intrusive thoughts, or past emotional wounds that continue to affect their relationships, confidence, and sense of safety. They are ready for relief, connection, and to feel more in control of their lives. I help clients by providing specialized treatments for anxiety conditions, OCD, body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), perfectionism, and the deep echoes of trauma—from relational and intergenerational wounds to betrayal trauma. I believe therapy can help us grow, even through deep pain. My role is to help you approach yourself with curiosity and compassion while guiding you toward healing and meaningful change. If this feels like the right fit for you then let's connect.
Everyone faces challenges in life. But those challenges can be amplified during life transitions, such as seeking higher education. Anxiety, worry, and frustration are common reactions. Some days it can be hard to find hope amidst the stress of just trying to get through the day. My therapeutic techniques are enacted with collaboration and compassion and individualized to your needs. I use many techniques commonly found in applied behavior analysis (ABA), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These can include goal setting, functional behavioral assessment, mindfulness skills, direct instruction, role-play and rehearsal, thought records, data review, journaling, and exploration of personal values. Together we will identify and use your strengths to make the changes that help you reach your goals.
