Hi, I'm Alane, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving adults in Texas and North Carolina through virtual therapy. I specialize in helping high-achieving professionals navigate anxiety, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, and grief. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical, helping you better understand yourself, build healthier boundaries, and create lasting change so you can feel more grounded both at work and in your personal life.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session is a pressure-free opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a comfortable therapeutic relationship. You do not need to have everything figured out or know exactly where to start. My approach is warm, collaborative, and conversational. We will talk about what brought you to therapy, what you are currently navigating, and what you hope to work toward. As an LMFT, I look at the bigger picture of your life, relationships, and experiences to better understand what is impacting you and how we can create meaningful change together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I bring a unique blend of clinical expertise, authenticity, and real-world experience into my sessions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and conversational, creating a space where you can feel comfortable showing up as your full self. Beyond my work as an LMFT, I bring experience in leadership and high-pressure professional environments. I understand the challenges of balancing career demands, relationships, and personal well-being. This perspective helps me support high performers navigating burnout, stress, and life transitions with both compassion and practical tools.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with clients who are used to being the strong one, the dependable one, or the person others rely on. Many of my clients are high-achieving professionals who appear successful on the outside but are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, or disconnected on the inside. They may be navigating career stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, or the pressure of constantly holding everything together. They are ready to better understand themselves, build healthier boundaries, and create a more balanced and fulfilling life.

My treatment methods

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

My theory of change is simple: everything we do comes down to relationship. Healing isn’t about fixing yourself; it’s about shifting how you relate to your emotions, your fears, your whole self, and the families, workplaces, and systems around you. True change happens when we stop trying to fight, fix, or perform our way out of our feelings. That is why I use ACT as a natural framework to explore how you connect with your inner world and outer environment. Instead of a rigid checklist, I treat ACT as a fluid, humanistic tool to help you build the flexibility to hold difficult emotions a bit more gently, rather than letting them run the show. Together, we will look at how the systems you live in shape your daily reality, untangling old, exhausting patterns so you can realign with what you actually value. We will focus on steady, intentional growth, building sustainable boundaries and reclaiming your energy on your own terms. Ultimately, my aim is to work myself out of a job, giving you the lasting tools and self-awareness to confidently pilot your own life.

Humanistic

At its core, my humanistic approach is centered on honoring the full, messy reality of the human experience. I don’t see therapy as a clinician fixing a patient; I see it as a deeply collaborative relationship built on trust, genuine connection, and mutual respect. My absolute priority is cultivating a safe, warm therapist-client alliance where you can finally take off the mask of having it all together and feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood without an ounce of judgment. I believe you are already the ultimate expert on your own life, and healing begins when we stop trying to fight, fix, or perform our way out of our feelings. In this space, we work as equals to explore how you relate to your inner world, your fears, and the systems around you, helping you find your own way back to a grounded, self-reliant sense of peace.
