About Ivanna
I’m a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life’s most meaningful challenges. I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive approach to my work, honoring the unique identities and experiences of the people I serve.
I specialize in helping clients navigate relationship dynamics, family conflicts, and trauma recovery. My focus extends to supporting you with grief, career transitions, social anxiety, attachment patterns, and questions around identity and sexuality. I’m also experienced in working with women’s issues, immigration concerns, military and first responder experiences, and multicultural challenges.
My therapeutic approach centers on building authentic connection and fostering self-compassion. I work with you on communication skills, processing guilt and shame, exploring life purpose, and addressing patterns that may feel limiting—whether related to control, avoidance, or commitment. I’m here to support you through major life transitions, including pregnancy, midlife shifts, and young adult challenges.
I believe in creating a space where you feel genuinely seen and respected. My goal is to walk alongside you with warmth, authenticity, and a deep commitment to your growth and healing.
