Therapy rooted in trust
and connection
Warm, collaborative therapy for children, teenagers, and young adults navigating pressure, emotional challenges, relationships, and change
Therapeutic Services
I offer individual therapy for preteens, teenagers, and young adults navigating emotional challenges, relationships, school, work, and life transitions. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready to understand yourself better, therapy can provide a space to reflect and build tools that lead to greater clarity and confidence.
Common areas of focus include:
Anxiety
Depression
ADHD
Executive-functioning support
OCD
Perfectionism
Academic and work-related stress
Emotional regulation and coping skills
Self-esteem and self-worth
Relationships, people-pleasing, and boundaries
Life and career transitions
I also offer support sessions for parents who want to better understand their child, navigate challenges, and strengthen their relationship.
All sessions are offered through secure telehealth for clients located in California.
My Approach
I believe therapy begins with feeling seen, heard, and valued for who you are. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in trust and connection.
Together, we’ll create goals that reflect your values and build a path that feels authentic and manageable to you. I draw from psychodynamic and strengths-based perspectives, while integrating practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness.
Sessions are personalized to help you reconnect with your strengths, values, and sense of self. We’ll work together to develop strategies you can use in daily life — whether that means building habits, practicing new ways of thinking, or learning coping tools that support growth beyond our sessions.
Therapy with me is a space to be real, get curious, and feel empowered to create lasting change.

About Me
I’m Alanna, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist supporting preteens, teenagers, and young adults as they navigate anxiety, identity, school, self-esteem, relationships, and life transitions.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked as an elementary educator and school counselor. That experience continues to shape how I show up in the therapy room — with patience, empathy, and understanding of the pressures people face. I know how important it is to have a space where you can slow down, be yourself, and feel genuinely seen and understood.
I earned my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in trust. I’ll meet you where you are and together we’ll explore ways to move forward.
I am employed by Chambliss and Associates, MFT Inc. and receive clinical supervision from Cathy Chambliss, LMFT #39875.
