Maybe you’re carrying the ache of a breakup, feeling stuck in on‑again/off‑again patterns, or wondering why commitment feels so close yet so hard. Perhaps conflict keeps hijacking your relationship, or dating has become exhausting instead of hopeful. If you’re navigating identity, culture, or faith differences—or healing after divorce—you deserve a space that is steady, warm, and truly on your side.
I love working with curious, resilient people and partners who are ready to try something different. Individuals rebuilding self‑trust, premarital (especially interfaith) couples seeking connection, LGBTQ+ partners, and high‑conflict pairs wanting safety and repair—all are welcome. Together we’ll turn painful cycles into opportunities to communicate, choose, and love with more intention.
I’m Ilana Grines, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California with 10 years of experience. I specialize in relationships, intimacy, and I work with individuals, couples, and families. My approach blends practical tools (CBT), focused, goal‑oriented conversations (solution‑focused therapy), and relational work tailored for couples and families. Sessions are affirming, collaborative, and culturally responsive. I offer therapy in English, German, and Spanish.
If any of this resonates, let’s connect. A brief call can help you sense whether I’m the right fit. You don’t have to sort this out alone.
