Your healing is my priority. A licensed psychotherapist since 2006, clients describe me as both highly effective and quick to establish trust with. I am an Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) trained therapist. AEDP is an attachment- based, experiential and transformational treatment model of therapy. While I will support you in uncovering challenging areas in your life, I am more focused on supporting you in your healing. It is my experience that the solution is more than merely helping you to identify problems. I will support you to access your innate ability to transform and heal difficult areas in your life.
In my therapeutic work I am committed to supporting you to make lasting, transformational changes in your life. I have extensive experience (residential and outpatient treatment centers) working with addictions, both early recovery and issues in long-term recovery.
My expertise is in working with families impacted by addiction and addressing the specific trauma responses (family of origin work and inter-generational trauma). My work with clients goes beyond typical 'co-dependency' issues, to address the mental and emotional aspects of healing and lasting change.
Over 15 years of clinical experience in mental health and addiction treatment has culminated to the opening of Central Texas Therapy. My clinical training and practice focuses on your inherent ability to heal, regardless of the gravity of your situation.

Over 15 years of clinical experience in mental health and addiction treatment has culminated to the opening of Central Texas Therapy. My clinical training and practice focuses on your inherent ability to heal, regardless of the gravity of your situation.
My style of psychotherapy is one in which I strike a balance between challenging and encouraging you along your journey of healing. I am committed to not merely teaching you tools and ways of thinking differently about your situation, rather, I am committed to supporting you to have a transformational experience in your life. It is a distinct honor to work with the clients who come for help to Central Texas Therapy, and I don’t take lightly the importance of remaining committed and engaged in support of your healing journey.
In addition to my private practice, I also facilitate the family program and family psychotherapy at The Prairie Recovery Center in Round Top, TX

"After 28 years of marriage and three grown children, we found ourselves in need of marriage counseling to reconnect and establish closeness. We weren't sure how to do this. Our work with Alana changed that. Little did we know how much our 'unfinished business' from our family of origin impacted our marriage. We are enjoying a closeness and renewed spark we didn't know was possible'.

'I tried various ways to get and stay sober. I'm a mom and had a lot of feelings of guilt as to how to really prioritize my sobriety and my healing. Alana's work with me and my daughter was like no other experience we have had. I now have a healed relationship with my family and mostly with myself.'
Michelle A., TX
'Alana challenged me yet was very compassionate. There were areas in my life that were painful but necessary to heal from. My sense of over-responsibility in my family and friendships was causing a lot of stress in my life. I felt anxious and depressed at times. Alana worked with me to address and heal areas of my life that were sources of trauma and fear. Today I am finishing college, working, and balancing a full life.'
