Meet Alaina
After more than 15 years working in social impact–driven organizations, including nonprofits, higher education, government affairs, political campaigns, and economic development, I followed my passion to working with individuals and organizations in building well-being. Through all my desire and efforts to make a difference, I couldn’t shake my curiosity of what made people psychologically struggle and others thrive.
This led me to earn a Master of Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, where I studied the science of well-being (also known as positive psychology) alongside leading researchers and practitioners in the field. Seeking to deepen my understanding of mental health and human flourishing, I went on to earn a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). I’ve also completed coursework in coaching from the College of Executive Coaching. I did say I was curious, right?
Drawing from the fields of positive psychology, clinical mental health, and coaching, I use evidence-based and evidence-informed approaches to helping individuals and organizations move through struggle and build greater well-being. I am passionate about helping individuals with burnout, resilience, and meaning.
I can help.
Assess your well-being
It all begins with self-awareness. Maybe you know what is in your way. Maybe you aren’t sure. Maybe you find yourself unfulfilled, questioning yourself, or just wanting more. Let’s assess what is working well for you to leverage, and what needs adjustment.
Get started
It can be confusing to know where to start making changes in your life. It also can be easy to only focus on what isn’t working so much that it’s hard to get started, or even overwhelming. I can help you identify starting points and establishing meaningful goals.
Increase thriving in your life
I can share evidence-based and evidence-informed interventions to make your efforts effective in building your thriving life.
