Hi! I’m Ilana. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling from Providence University College. I am passionate about therapy, about people, about my garden, and about my family.
I also hold a Master of Theological Studies from Wycliffe College in Toronto. I worked as a chaplain at a tertiary care hospital in Winnipeg for a while, so I’m acquainted with grief, with crisis, with trauma of all sorts, and also with the pieces of joy and beauty that can break through even the darkest moments. I believe that all health incorporates the body, the mind, and the spirit, and no matter where you are in your personal journey, I am so excited to get to know you and your unique story.
My therapeutic approach includes elements from Interpersonal Neurobiology, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotions-Focused Therapy, attachment theory, and play therapy. We will together discover the modality that works best for you to help you meet your goals.
I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (Member #11253880).
