Alanna Updegraff, PhD received her degree in clinical psychology from The University of California, Los Angeles and completed postdoctoral training focused on abuse and trauma at the Family Stress Center in North Hills, CA.

In this role she oversees all aspects of the department based training clinic, supervises clinical psychology doctoral students, and teaches practicum courses consisting of applied therapy skills.
