In Person Therapists in Walnut Creek, CA
I offer options to meet in person, telehealth or even walk'n talks, depending on their changing needs.
You’re capable and self-aware, but still feeling stuck in cycles of stress, anxiety, or burnout you can’t seem to shift. You may understand why you do what you do, but insight alone hasn’t created the shift you’re looking for. I help clients move beyond awareness into lasting change by working directly with the patterns that show up in real time.
It’s an active, collaborative process best suited for those who value personal growth, accountability, and are ready to engage in meaningful change.

I offer in-person therapy in Walnut Creek and Crockett, CA.
You may have already tried therapy, self-help, or just sheer strength to get through your days—and yet something still feels painful or out of reach. Maybe you find yourself overwhelmed by emotions, afraid of being abandoned, or stuck in patterns that you don’t understand but can’t seem to stop. These are often the echoes of trauma, and they make perfect sense once we slow down and listen to what your body and emotions are trying to say.

Hi, I'm Ilana, and I am so happy you are here! I work with adults, couples, and teens, and I am deeply committed to meeting you where you are in your unique journey. I view therapy as a collaborative and relational process—grounded in curiosity, compassion, and authentic connection.

When appropriate, I welcome humor and levity as valuable, healing parts of the work.

I offer in-person or telehealth therapy sessions Mondays-Fridays.
Sometimes our relationships—with others or with ourselves—become stuck. We may lose a sense of direction, purpose, or meaning, and begin to feel uncertain about who we are or how we show up in our relationships. Feelings of loneliness, sadness, or fear can emerge, and for some, even naming these emotions feels overwhelming. Others may respond by withdrawing, believing they must navigate life on their own.
In these moments, we are invited to slow down and pay attention. When we do, healing can begin. Therapy can be a gift—an opportunity to look inward, gain clarity, and grow.

I work with individuals who are existentially challenged (anxiety, death/grief, meaning, purpose, freedom, creativity, anguish/despair) and with individuals who are open to work on attachment/relational/trauma issues from a trauma informed, present-focused, person-centered, psychodynamic approach. We will work together reflecting on what has happened to you, updating your personal narrative, assessing a range of possible choices, considering potential outcomes, and committing to an action plan that achieves the most favorable change for you. Also, I utilize Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) for those looking for or open to it.

As a therapist in Walnut Creek, I offer both telehealth and/or in-person sessions to support you.
You have always been a high achiever at work. At home, you are the rock of your family. Everyone always looks to you for help. You take care of everybody around you, but you always neglect yourself. Maybe because you’re keeping busy to avoid having to deal with your past hurtful experiences. You feel lost and lonely despite having people around you. No one knows about your struggles. But now you’ve reached a breaking point. Your anxiety is out of control, and it is affecting your work and personal life. You are ready to stop that infinite loop that keeps replaying. It’s time to take care of you. It is now time to find healing.
