MEET THE TEAM

Alanna is a Registered Psychologist who holds a Master of Counselling Psychology from Athabasca University.

Before entering private practice, Alanna gained experience across a variety of settings, including early intervention programs, specialized educational environments, residential treatment, and programs supporting individuals with educational and career planning. These experiences shaped her understanding of how life transitions, relationships, and early experiences can influence mental health and well-being.

Alanna approaches therapy with the belief that people are the experts in their own lives. She sees therapy as a collaborative process where clients are supported in exploring their experiences, building insight, and developing new ways of relating to themselves and others. Alanna believes that healing often happens within safe and supportive relationships, and that people are capable of
remarkable resilience when given the right support.

Alanna is trained in EMDR and is certified through the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA). EMDRIA Certified Therapists™ meet established standards of excellence in EMDR therapy through advanced consultation, clinical experience, and ongoing professional development. She has additional specialized training in early trauma and attachment-based EMDR therapy.

In her work, Alanna integrates a range of therapeutic approaches, including EMDR, polyvagal-informed therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment-based therapy, narrative therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and
emotion-focused therapy (EFT). Her goal is to tailor therapy to each person’s unique needs and goals.

Alanna works with adolescents and adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, and burnout, relationship challenges, perfectionism, and concerns related to
self-esteem.
