Therapists in 20008
In therapy, the focus inevitably turns to the balance between self and others. Being responsible for one's own needs while being responsive to others, whether in a relationship, school, or at work is a dynamic, and sometimes confounding, process. How do you find that balance, being true to oneself and a truely caring person? That's the work of therapy.
I work with individuals, couples, families, and students. I have a recognized expertise with severe psychological trauma, depression, anxiety, and marital problems including infidelities.
I am proud to have been twice highly recommended by Washingtonian Magazine.

Hi, I’m Ilana.
I specialize in supporting children, teens, and young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, loss, trauma, and life transitions, including the move to college and beyond. I believe that meaningful change begins within an authentic, trusting relationship. Therapy is not just about techniques or strategies—it is about feeling genuinely seen, understood, and supported. I prioritize building strong, collaborative relationships with my clients, creating a space where curiosity, honesty, and emotional safety can grow.

You may look like you’re holding it all together, but inside, something feels off. You may feel anxious, disconnected, or stuck in patterns you can’t quite explain; overthinking, overgiving, or questioning your worth—especially in relationships. Part of you longs to feel close, secure, and understood, while another part works hard to protect you from getting hurt. Many patterns that feel painful are rooted in ways you learned to cope with moments of disconnection, overwhelm, or unmet needs earlier in life. At one time, these strategies helped you survive, stay connected, or keep going, but now leave you feeling stuck or exhausted.

I genuinely enjoy being able to help individuals achieve real and observable changes in their lives. At some point in life, most of us encounter personal roadblocks that undermine growth and create stress and unhappiness. Through my work I help people facing a wide a variety of difficulties at all levels of severity to achieve more happy and fulfilling lives. While I enjoy working with all individuals, I also have specialized experience in counseling active and veteran military service members, trauma survivors, and women.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, striving for perfection, or constantly putting others' needs before your own. Whatever brought you here, we’ll create a safe space that honors your needs and supports you as we navigate your journey together. I specialize in helping teens and adults navigate anxiety, depression, and stress, particularly when tied to self-esteem, people-pleasing, overachieving and perfectionism. And, as a biracial (Asian/White) therapist, I also understand the complexities of identity for biracial and multiracial individuals and am passionate about providing a supportive space to explore these experiences.

For 25 years, I have been working with individuals and couples coping with depression, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, infertility and pregnancy loss, and post-partum anxiety and depression.

My clients often come to me ambivalent but ready to invest in their emotional well-being. They may be navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, burnout, or major life transitions and want more than surface-level coping strategies. They’re seeking insight, clarity, and real change — not quick fixes. They value thoughtful support, meaningful reflection, and a therapist who can both challenge and guide them. If you’re ready to understand yourself more deeply and build a more grounded, fulfilling life, we may be a great fit.

If you have tried therapy before but it didn’t reach all the parts of you that needed care, you are in the right place. I primarily work with adults for whom traditional talk therapy brought insight but not relief. I specialize in developmental (or complex) trauma, attachment issues, neurodivergence, giftedness, and LGBTQ+ issues. The goals of therapy are practical and deep: an increased understanding of self, greater nervous-system regulation, fewer triggers, and a kinder inner voice. My work moves clients beyond cognition and into embodied change.

Clients who work best with me are neurodivergent individuals or couples navigating ADHD, autism (ASD), or executive functioning challenges - including medical conditions such as traumatic brain injury, cardiac surgery, or postoperative cognitive dysfunction, etc. They seek clarity, structure, and confidence to succeed personally or professionally. They may face overwhelm, self-doubt, or relationship strain and want tailored strategies to use their strengths, build resilience, and live their lives well. I am a twice-exceptional (2e) Mensa member with Asperger’s who brings a unique, lived perspective on neurodiversity and success.

I work with people who long for deeper, more reciprocal relationships, a life that actually fits, and a way of being that doesn’t require so much effort to maintain. You know how to hold it all together. You show up, take care of others, work hard, and keep moving, regardless of how you need. Externally, it's going well, but internally, you feel stuck in patterns that leave you feeling drained, unseen, weighed down by pain, burned out, or always chasing. I specialize in working with high-performers, perfectionists, people pleasers, or anxious attachers who seek greater satisfaction, connection, peace, and balance in their life.

Would you like to feel less overwhelmed, anxious, sad, fearful, depressed or unsure of yourself? Are you going through a life transition, dealing with chronic illness, or are unproductive behaviors holding you back? Perhaps you’re unhappy at work/school, experiencing grief/loss, uncertain about your professional goals, or dissatisfied with your relationships. Life issues may seem insurmountable. Once you begin therapy with me, we'll work collaboratively to increase your self-understanding & insight. I'll help you identify & effectuate necessary life changes (step by step), embrace self acceptance, or move toward a little of both.

From the outside, things might look steady - but inside, it can feel like anxiety, pressure, or a constant sense of being “on.” Your mind keeps going. You replay conversations, second-guess yourself, or feel responsible for holding everything together. Even when things are going well, it can be hard to fully relax. I work with young adults who are thoughtful, capable, and often carrying more than they let on. If you’re feeling stuck in your head, overwhelmed, or off balance, therapy can help you slow down, feel more grounded, and start to move forward with clarity.

Do your emotions feel overwhelming? Are you bored and restless with your life? Does the future seem hopeless? Many of us experience these feelings, yet often think we're the only ones. We worry that if we show people what’s really going on, they will avoid and judge us. In therapy, we give voice to these feelings, and learn that while they can be scary at times, they also reveal a path to healing and change.
