Empowerment Coaching for Complex Trauma
Take back your power. Reclaim your life. Build a brighter path forward.
Where Healing Begins…
When divorce happens, it can be emotionally traumatic. The high conflict individual’s weapon of choice is verbal abuse, gaslighting, coercive control and intentional infliction of emotional pain. It is a systematic dismantling of another person’s relationships, professional reputation, emotional and physical health, and very soul. Divorce counseling helps clients regain control and prevent the divorce and child custody process from stalling out.
I provide my clients expert advice when navigating contested divorces, child custody battles, and co-parenting with high-conflict personalities (HCPs). Through my personal experience, consults with clients and my speaking engagements, I bring a unique blend of expertise to my clients. My goal is to help clients find peace of mind, safety, and empowerment to live their best life.

Hello, I’m Alana!
I am a Certified High Conflict Divorce Coach, Trauma Specialist, and International Best Selling Author. I am also a trauma survivor and the victim of my own high conflict child custody battle. I believe my purpose in life is to give others the help that I once needed and had nowhere to turn.
I wrote my best-selling book, Was It My Fault? A Narcissistic Abuse Survivor Story and Guide for Navigating Narcissistic Red Flags, as a way to connect with survivors of domestic abuse and provide them hope as they navigate a new life, post separation abuse, and often the difficulty of co-parenting with a disordered partner.

Client Stories
Bestseller:
Was it My Fault?
"A frank, informative work with illuminating behavioral commentary."
- Kirkus Review
Was It My Fault? is my story. In it, I share intimate details of my toxic marriage, but more than that, I share my journey out of the depths of despair and how I continue to fight for myself and my children post-separation. It’s my hope that my story will inspire someone who may be in a toxic relationship and feeling like they have no fight left in them to not give up and find a path forward.
