Emerging into Heart
social worker • therapist • writer
​​​​Hello, and welcome <3 ​
​My name is India. I am a social worker, psychotherapist, and writer. I practice psychotherapy from a stance of radical compassion + open-heartedness. I hold all parts of you tenderly, empathetically, and with care. My therapeutic aim is to help you understand yourself more fully, and to develop genuine compassion for your unique human expression.
​
I work from a relational lens that honors the therapeutic alliance and focuses on emotional attunement. I understand the many ways that early attachment patterns influence our present circumstances. I also believe in the healing capacity of storytelling, and listen intently to the narratives you tell about yourself.
My clients
​
I particularly enjoy working with adults who are highly sensitive, neurodivergent, emotionally intense, or who have prior diagnoses of mental health conditions. I enjoy working with people who find it difficult to make sense of their lived experiences— and those who have a harder time staying afloat in today's world.
My clients often have overlapping chronic health and/or mental health conditions, which require a delicate balance of care and attention.
My framework
​
My therapeutic approach is emotion-focused and grounded in relational, humanistic psychotherapy. I draw from depth psychology, somatic psychology, Relational Cultural Theory, and incorporate Narrative Practice into my work. I enjoy doing deep, attachment-focused work from a psychodynamic lens.
I believe in a holistic, integrative, and client-centered approach to healing that prioritizes sense-making and story-telling.
Ultimately, my aim is to support you in making sense of your multifaceted selves and complex parts, while deepening into aspects of Self that ring most true and clear.
