I’m India.
If a part of you is feeling intimidated by therapy and another part is trying to talk yourself out of needing it, you’re in good company. Before becoming a therapist myself, I sat in the client’s chair—both in individual and couples therapy. I’ve experienced firsthand the courage it takes to find the right therapist, risk vulnerability with a stranger, and step into the unknown. We find a way to navigate life with the best tools available to us. At times, the strategies we develop are all that hold us together; at other times, they feel responsible for everything falling apart.
This is where my love for this job comes in. My passion is to help individuals and couples break free from these stuck places. Whether you’re lost in grief, caught up in an unproductive cycle within your relationships, or struggling to bridge the gap between you and your partner, you don’t need to figure this out all on your own. I have a desire to help my clients walk in courage towards new encounters with the wounded parts of their stories and relationships.
My approach is down-to-earth and collaborative. I don’t pretend to know you better than you know yourself. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s keeping you stuck, begin to change the way you see yourself (and/or your partner), and help you find your way to a more fulfilling relationship with yourself and others. If you’re ready to take that first step, I’m here to help.
When I’m not in the therapy chair, you can find me traveling with my husband, hiking with my dogs, or doing one of many cozy hobbies.
