About West Seattle Therapy

In-Person in Seattle | Online throughout WA & NY

Hi, my name is Alana (she/her). I’m a therapist in West Seattle and I’m so glad you’re here.

I know what it’s like to feel stuck and overwhelmed and unsure of how to make things better. I’ve been there. I also know how support from the right therapist can be life-changing. I’ve been a therapist for over ten years and I am currently licensed to see clients in New York and Washington State.

I specialize in Brainspotting therapy to help adults get unstuck and access deeper body-based healing that talk therapy alone can’t always reach. Many of my clients are struggling with anxiety, grief, or big life changes, and some are just feeling “stuck” and aren’t sure why.

Through counseling you will discover your inner resources and get to know yourself better, learning to trust you above all else. I offer counseling that helps you access the courage to make decisions despite what society, or friends and family think you should do. I want to help you find your “why” and get curious about what a more aligned life looks like for you. Together we will dismantle the shoulds of how to be and act, and begin to shift into intentional living so you can feel more at peace and content.

Ready to get unstuck? Contact me for therapy in Seattle.

As your therapist, I am in this process with you — not with all the answers but alongside you helping you see you don't have to go through this alone.  What is important to you, is important to me. Every feeling is valid and worthy of attention. All parts of you are welcomed and affirmed. We’ll look at the whole picture and where the struggles are deeply linked to your environment and circumstances. There is nothing wrong with you.

In weekly sessions, you will get support and be challenged. But you will always be in the driver’s seat. We’ll do more than just talk — we’ll use somatic approaches such as Brainspotting and IFS to help you get to the root of the issue and get real relief. There are no magic fixes because sometimes life is just f'ing hard, but there is a path forward. You don't have to know everything before you start to heal. I'm here to help you find what is in the way of you living the life you want to live.
