Hi there, I'm Iliana!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who offers a warm, compassionate space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. I integrate CBT, DBT, and attachment-based work to help you understand patterns, build coping skills, and create meaningful change. I specialize in anxiety, relationships, life transitions, and emotional regulation.

My focus

I support individuals navigating anxiety, grief, relational wounds, and identity shifts—especially those feeling stuck in old patterns or burdened by past experiences. I bring warmth, compassion, and gentle humor, using mindfulness, parts work, and emotionally focused approaches to help you move from self-judgment to self-compassion.

My approach

I integrate IFS, CBT, DBT, Emotionally Focused, Psychodynamic, and Solution-Focused therapies to create a supportive and personalized experience. In our first session, we’ll explore what’s in your heart and what you’re hoping for, then build a clear path toward clarity, confidence, and feeling more like yourself again.
