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. I support clients in deepening self-understanding while developing tangible tools for change. While therapy creates space for meaningful and sometimes difficult exploration, I also believe it doesn’t always have to feel heavy. When appropriate, I welcome humor and levity as valuable, healing parts of the work.
I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), behavioral strategies, and solution-focused interventions to promote forward movement and meaningful growth. I also draw from my training in Gestalt therapy, bringing an embodied, present-centered approach that encourages awareness, emotional depth, and openness to what emerges in the moment.
Above all, I am passionate about helping clients reconnect with their sense of self, clarify their values, and cultivate empowerment in their mind, body, and voice. It is truly an honor to walk alongside individuals, couples, and families as they move toward greater fulfillment, connection, and well-being.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and work collaboratively to find appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
