Bridging Mind and Body

For many patients, symptoms are not only physically disruptive, but also isolating, confusing, and difficult to explain to others. Dr. Alana's approach is grounded in the biopsychosocial model of health, recognizing that physiological, psychological, behavioral, and relational factors often interact in powerful ways. Dr. Alana's work helps patients better understand these interactions, reduce suffering, and develop new ways of responding to symptoms with greater clarity, flexibility, and self-trust. Dr. Alana believes that lasting healing requires addressing both the body and the mind — and that patients deserve a clinician who truly understands the bidirectional relationship between the nervous system and physical health.

Her approach is collaborative, compassionate, and deeply rooted in science. She works alongside patients' medical teams to ensure care is integrated, not siloed — because the most effective treatment addresses the whole person. She is deeply committed to providing affirming, inclusive, and nonjudgmental care, and believes that effective treatment begins with creating space for patients to feel understood in the full context of their identities, experiences, and health concerns.
