California
Support should feel accessible, personal, and close to home. Ilona offers online therapy for women across California, a space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.
You are welcome here as you are, including on the days you cannot quite explain what feels wrong.

You deserve support. You are not alone.
You might be here because
Food takes up more room in your mind than you would ever say out loud.
You speak gently to everyone in your life except yourself.
Your body has started to feel like something to manage rather than somewhere to live.
From the outside you are doing beautifully, and underneath it you are tired in a way sleep does not reach.
Something shifted with your hormones, your body, or your season of life, and you have been told it is normal.
You have been carrying this quietly, for longer than anyone knows.
None of it needs to be tidy or urgent or fully understood before you reach out. You are allowed to arrive exactly as you are.
Gentle with you, and with your body
Ilona believes that so much of what women carry is not only emotional. It is biological too, held in the body and the nervous system long after the mind has made sense of it. So the work moves in both directions at once, tending to your thoughts and your body together.
The goal is not to manage yourself more efficiently. It is freedom from food struggles, body shame, and the exhaustion that rest does not touch, and the slow return of trust in your body, your emotions, and your own inner wisdom.
You will never be asked to revisit anything before you are ready. The pace belongs to you.
For over ten years I have sat with women who were endlessly kind to everyone but themselves, and who had quietly begun to believe that the way they felt was simply who they are now.
It is not. So much of it is something the body learned along the way, and the body can learn other things. I would be glad to help you find your way back to yourself.
Close to home, wherever home is
Sessions are held online, so you can meet from wherever you feel most at ease. Many women find it easier to speak openly from their own space, with the door closed and no drive afterwards.
Orange County
Where Ilona is based, and where many of the women she sees are raising families, building careers, or quietly holding both at once.
Los Angeles
Where a good intention can disappear into an hour of traffic. Meeting online means that hour stays yours.
The South Bay
Beach towns where wellness is everywhere, and rest can still feel like something you have to earn first.
And anywhere else in the state, including San Diego, the Bay Area, Santa Barbara and Sacramento.
A few things you might be wondering
Do I need to live in one of these cities?
No. Ilona is licensed throughout California, so anywhere in the state is fine. Those cities are simply where many of her clients happen to live.
I am not sure my struggles are serious enough for therapy
You do not have to be in crisis to deserve support, and nothing needs to be bad enough first. If something has been sitting with you, that is reason enough. Many women say afterwards only that they wish they had stopped waiting sooner.
I have tried therapy before and it did not really help
That is a disheartening thing to carry, and it is worth saying out loud on the first call. Often the earlier work stayed with talking and understanding, which can leave the feeling itself untouched. Ilona works with the body as well, and for many women that is the part that had been missing.
What actually happens on the first call?
You talk, and Ilona listens. There is no form to fill in and nothing to prepare. She will share how she works, you will get a feel for whether she seems like the right person for you, and there is no obligation either way.
Whenever you are ready
There is no pressure here, and no right way to begin. Just a conversation, and somewhere gentle to set some of it down.
