It can feel so daunting to begin the search for a therapist you feel like you actually connect with. Especially when you are the one used to taking care of others in your life -it takes courage to focus on what YOU need. Perhaps on the outside you might be holding it together but spend your days feeling disconnected, struggling within your relationships or feeling reactive and angry but not able to identify the “why.” Or maybe you are navigating a big change -a diagnosis of cancer or other serious illness, a significant loss or something else that has your mind racing at night and waking up each morning full of worry.

Hi-I’m Ilana. I strive to create a warm, respectful and non-judgmental space where you can feel deeply seen and understood. My style is warm and relational while always being real with you. Through a therapeutic relationship built on trust and genuine care, we can identify what feels helpful and find ways of being in the world that feel better to you.

Prior to starting my therapy practice, I was an oncology social worker for many years. This meaningful work allowed me to get to know amazing people going through experiences that felt painful, life-altering and at times, full of hope. 

Whatever challenges you are going through-please know that you are far from alone. Many people decide to seek out therapy when all the usual ways of coping aren’t working as well as they used to. I look forward to connecting with you.
