We each have the wisdom within ourselves to guide us on our life journey. However, we often forget to listen when life around us is loud, confusing or perplexing. Additionally, childhood trauma or old baggage interferes with our listening ability. These distractions prevent us from hearing our own inner wisdom. I am a sojourner with my clients as I help them learn to listen to their own internal wisdom. Together, we work to discover inner healing, peace and life balance in their lives.

I help people get their unhelpful thoughts out of their way. Your thoughts keep throwing useless “solutions” at you that never really work and sometimes even make things worse. Your mind may even come up with new problems that do not exist with thousands of “what if” scenarios - as if it’s getting paid by the minute to work against you. It can be frustrating and stressful to go through this same loop day after day. I get why you are ready to try something new. I can help you build the skills you need to respond to difficult thoughts in healthy and effective ways.

I value the mind-body connection and believe we can find healing when we approach our health from a holistic perspective. Counseling requires a lot of effort and can only be truly transformative if you show up as yourself. I will show up as mine and that may include laughing, maybe some crying, and definitely some hard conversations. I am passionate about helping people adjust to parenting or other life transitions, and those with anxiety and self-esteem issues. My role is to listen, ask questions, guide, and challenge you to shape your own path. Let's dig in!

I work with adults and adolescents who are struggling with the challenges of daily life or who feel weighed down by issues of the past. My clients are often people who struggle with anxiety, depression, identity issues, grief, stress, or relationship issues. My ideal client is ready for change, or contemplating what the first steps of change look like. I practice exclusively through teletherapy sessions, and require clients to have reliable and consistent access to internet services. I offer a safe space for BIPOC, women, LGBTQIA+/trans/poly, neurodivergent, and other diverse communities.

I find it very gratifying to work with both female and male adult clients who feel stuck in life, who have a real desire to discover meaning, and who want to discover or renew their sense of purpose and direction. I also find it rewarding to work with those who desire to break free from the debilitating symptoms of past trauma, and to process the intense pain of grief or personal loss. In addition, I truly enjoy working with couples, as well as parents and teenage children, who feel locked in conflict, but who also genuinely desire to improve their communication patterns and to achieve a positive breakthrough in their relationships.

Hi, I'm India. I work with emerging, young & older adults (17+) from all walks of life who feel that hope seems out of reach right now. In our work together, I aim to better understand the barriers that may be relentlessly working against you. But there is hope that lives alongside the struggle, the kind of hope that comes from a willingness to face reality and still choose to see where beauty and light can be found. We’ll search for it together.
