About

My name is Jacqueline Ilana Bradford (I prefer to be called Ilana) and I specialize in couples therapy, treating trauma and affairs, parental education, Veterans Military life, and maintain a private practice in Westlake Village, Lake Oswego, Oregon.

I am a wife of 43 years, a mother, grandmother and, great-grandmother. (I know I don’t look old enough). I have over 35 years combined experience as a practical nurse, early childhood educator, outreach counselor, couples therapist and am passionate about working with  with Veterans and Military Individuals, Couples. My clients often tell me, “I like that you bring life experience into the therapy room.”  My passion is to learn everything I can about successful relationships and apply that knowledge to helping couples create resilient and fulfilling relationships.
