“I am an act of kneading, of uniting and joining that not only has produced both a creature of darkness and a creature of light, but also a creature that questions the definitions of light and dark and gives them new meanings.”

-Gloria E. Anzaldúa

“I’ve had the privilege of knowing Iliana for over 10 years—as a classmate, a friend, and a fellow therapist—and throughout that time, she has consistently demonstrated a deep commitment to both her personal and professional growth. She is incredibly hardworking and takes great pride in the quality of her work, always striving to provide thoughtful, thorough, and ethical care to those she serves. One of her unique specialities is grief which not many other therapists know how to work in this area.

What truly stands out is her genuine empathy and ability to connect with others. She creates a safe, welcoming space where clients feel seen, heard, and understood. She is especially skilled in working with diverse populations bringing cultural awareness, respect, and compassion into her practice in a way that builds trust and meaningful connection.

I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a dedicated, skilled, and compassionate therapist.”

“Iliana is a former colleague, and I can attest to her commitment to her clients. I have referred some of my clients to her and they were all happy with her services. She immediately set a positive tone by creating a safe and warm space for her clients. She is such a great listener and knows how to meet the clients where they are at. This is so important because it allows clients to be more honest and open about their current situation, and it increases the probability of them returning for future consultations. Building trust is so important. I strongly recommend her practice.”
— Julio Garcia, Project Manager (Harm Reduction & Syringe Access Org)
“In my work in community-based care, I have seen how much it matters to have someone who listens and takes your concerns seriously. Iliana is that person. I know her as both a friend and a professional, and I have seen her compassion in both settings. She notices when something is wrong, and is not afraid of difficult conversations, and approaches people without judgment. She brings that same care to her clinical work, taking time to understand her clients and advocating for them. She is someone I trust and feel confident recommending.”
— Claudia Andrade Brown, Program Manager (FQHC & Social Service Org)
