Indya is accepting new adult individuals or couples/relational clients for online therapy.

Hi, I’m Indya.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate (LMFTA), and I believe therapy should help you struggle less and live more fully.

Sometimes life is just lifeing. You feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or unsure what comes next. You’re dealing with anxiety, identity, relationships, intimacy, or a major life transition. You know something needs to change, but you’re not quite sure how to get there.

I work with individuals and couples who want to better understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns getting in the way of the life they want.

I tend to do my best work with people who have something specific they want to work on. That might mean improving communication, rebuilding connection, addressing a stalled sex life, navigating an identity shift, adjusting to an empty nest, or figuring out how to move forward when life no longer looks the way you expected.

You don't have to be in crisis to come to therapy. You can be doing pretty well overall and still know that something needs attention.

I bring warmth, curiosity, honesty, and humor into the room. I won't just sit back and listen. I'll work alongside you, ask questions, offer perspective, and gently challenge you when I think it could help.

My Approach

My approach is collaborative and relational. You are the expert on your own life, and my job is to help you understand what's happening, recognize the patterns that are keeping you stuck, and figure out what you want to do differently.

My work is informed by Attachment Theory, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and approaches that consider both the mind and the nervous system. I also draw from Feminist Theory and consider how culture, gender, power, and societal expectations shape our experiences of ourselves and our relationships.

Therapy with me is active and collaborative. I'll bring my training and perspective, and I'll ask you to bring your honesty, curiosity, and willingness to try something new. Sometimes that means sitting with something uncomfortable. Sometimes it means learning a new skill. Sometimes it means finally saying something out loud that you've been carrying around for years.

Individual Therapy

I especially enjoy working with people who have a lot going on beneath the surface. You may think deeply, feel deeply, or spend a lot of time trying to understand yourself and why you respond to things the way you do.

Individual therapy can be a place to work through anxiety, emotional regulation, identity, relationships, self-esteem, ADHD and neurodivergence, and patterns that keep showing up even when you know better.

I also enjoy working with people during periods of transition. Becoming an empty nester, questioning your career, navigating changes in your relationships, exploring your identity, or realizing that the life you've built doesn't quite fit anymore can leave you wondering what comes next.

Those moments don't necessarily mean something is wrong. Sometimes they mean something needs to change.

Therapy gives you space to slow down, figure out what you actually want, and make choices that feel intentional rather than simply reacting to whatever life throws at you.

My goal isn't to turn you into a different person. It's to help you understand yourself better, feel more at home in your own life, and have more freedom in how you respond to the things that matter to you.

Couples & Relational Therapy

Relationships are one of my favorite areas to work in.

I tend to work best with couples and partners who love each other and are committed to their relationship, but have reached a point where something isn't working.

You may be having the same argument over and over, struggling to communicate, feeling misunderstood, or carrying resentment that has made it harder to feel close. Sometimes the relationship is strong overall but a specific challenge has become difficult to navigate on your own.

Sex and intimacy are a big part of this work for many couples. Desire can change, physical affection can become complicated, or conversations about sex can turn into conflict. Mismatched desire, changes in intimacy, or uncertainty about what each person wants can create distance even in loving relationships.

Major life transitions can affect relationships too. Becoming parents, becoming empty nesters, changing careers, moving, or going through a particularly stressful period can change the dynamic between you and leave you wondering how to reconnect.

Couples therapy gives you a place to slow down those patterns and understand what is happening between you. We'll work on communication, emotional connection, conflict patterns, trust, intimacy, and the needs that often get lost underneath the surface of an argument.

I work with all relationship structures, including monogamous, open, polyamorous, and other forms of consensual non-monogamy. You don't need to fit a traditional definition of a relationship to work with me. I'm interested in helping you build relationships that are healthy, honest, consensual, and meaningful to the people actually in them.

Sex & Intimacy

Sex can be one of the hardest things to talk about, even with someone you love.

I offer a sex-positive, shame-free space to talk about mismatched desire, changes in your sex life, performance anxiety, asexuality, sexual identity, intimacy after major life transitions, non-monogamy, and the ways stress and relationship dynamics can affect sex.

I don't have a particular version of a "healthy" sex life that I'm trying to get you to. My goal is to help you figure out what you actually want, understand what's getting in the way, and feel more comfortable talking about it.

I provide affirming care for LGBTQIA+ individuals and relationships, polyamorous and consensually non-monogamous relationships, kinky individuals, and people whose identities or relationship structures don't fit traditional expectations.

A Little About Me

As someone with ADHD, my favorite things to do are often the things I haven't done yet. I'm naturally curious and love learning, trying new things, and finding the humor in life.

I think being able to laugh can be incredibly helpful, especially when we're talking about things that feel heavy or shameful. Therapy can be serious without feeling overly serious all the time.

Outside of therapy, you'll usually find me reading, cooking, traveling, trying a new hobby, getting overly competitive about something, or doing a NYT Wordle. When I need to recharge, I love puzzles, hiking with my partner and dog, and serious cuddle time.

At the end of the day, I want therapy to help you feel more connected to yourself, the people you love, and the life you're actually living.
