Polyamorous and Open Relationships

My approach centers on fostering healthy communication, trust, and emotional connection while navigating challenges such as jealousy, boundary-setting, and relationship structure. Together, we focus on enhancing your relational well-being, promoting self-awareness, and embracing the fluidity of love and connection in a way that honors each individual’s unique needs and desires.

I specialize in supporting individuals and couples in polyamorous and open relationships. Through therapy sessions, I help clients navigate the complexities of multiple partnerships by fostering open communication, establishing healthy boundaries, and promoting mutual respect. By creating a safe and non-judgmental space, I work collaboratively with clients to address challenges, explore personal growth, and enhance relationship dynamics within non-traditional love structures.

I work with individuals navigating consensual non-monogamy. Some of the common issues I work with include: deciding whether or not to open a relationship, working through jealousy, dealing with "new relationship energy", structuring your open relationship, time management, communication issues, etc.

Whether you are just considering the idea of opening up your relationship, or you've been open or poly for as long as you can remember, you need a therapist who understands ethical non-monogamy. I don't make assumptions about what is right for your relationship--but I can provide guidance and resources. I help guide each person in the relationship to be able to understand and express their own needs, negotiate relationship agreements, and build more connection and intimacy.

Whether you're new to ethical non-monogamy or you’re experienced in practicing ENM or polyamory, I provide an affirming space to work through jealousy, boundary negotiation, and to process how your past experiences may be impacting your current relationships. I am an enthusiastically kink affirming and experienced clinician. Through gentle but intentional therapeutic process, you will gain clarity and safety in your expansive relational and sexual life. I love working with ENM couples!

Whether you’re new to ethical non-monogamy or have years of experience, I offer an affirming space to explore jealousy, boundaries, and how past experiences shape your relationships. As a kink-affirming clinician experienced in ENM, I support open, honest communication and emotional balance. Together we’ll explore your values, identify limiting beliefs, address insecurities, and help you to create the relationship structures that fulfill and empower you.

I work with both individuals and couples who practice polyamory/non-monogamy (and otherwise). I have experience working with these relationship dynamics, and find the needed skills useful in many other areas of an individual's life.

Whether navigating opening a monogamous relationship, engaging in consensual non monogamy, or practicing polyamory, it is critical to have the ability to make and keep agreements with your partners. Open relationships require strong communication and the ability to be vulnerable. I believe that a wide variety of relationship structures can work, and I enjoy teaching effective skills and tools for communication and emotional regulation.

I often work with clients to better understand their partner(s) wants and needs, especially as they arise in relation to open relationships and polyamory. I have worked with clients during all stages of the "opening up" process and with multiple types of open relationships (swinging, polyamory, and open relationships).

I help individuals develop the relationship they want by working through open communication and developing a solid foundation to stay connected. As we are all products of our childhood environment, sometimes we need help shedding old ideas and biases about what a relationship should look like. By acknowledging and and working through these barriers we can get you to the relationship you want to have.

Many individuals find joy in having close relationships on both sexual and emotional levels with multiple partners. These relationship styles require honest communication and healthy boundaries. As a trained sex therapist, I work with participants to strengthen communication skills and utilize resources that best support the sustainability of consensual and ethical non-monogamous relationship styles.

I have 7 years of lived experience with ethical non-monogamy. I love supporting folks (individuals only, no couples at this time) working through, discovering, or exploring ethnical non-monogamy and navigating it's challenges.

Intentionally choosing an alternative lifestyle, consenting partners, and including others in the relationship can be powerful. In therapy the focus is on the issues that you are bringing, not on your lifestyle. While the lifestyle is important in understanding you and the interactions you have, there is no assumption that you or your lifestyle needs to be fixed or made more socially acceptable. I can help you sort out the dynamics in your fluid partnerships, without judgments.

I have received specialized training and have been working with poly/CNM folks for over 7 years.

I have personal and professional experience with both poly and open relationships. There's more potential relationship structures than therapists to process them; therefore, I bring an open mind to what your particular structure is, how it changes over time, and how it serves you as you strive to live a unique life.

I see clients in all kinds of relationships, from monogamous to nonmonogamous, nontraditional to traditional, polyamorous, open or closed.

As someone who has explored ENM personally, my clients regularly express a tremendous sense of relief not having to educate me on the lingo or having to fear that I'll think their relationship structure is the cause of their issues. I also assist clients in deciding if ethical non-monogamy is for them and supporting them in beginning their explorations of opening up.

I help clients in poly and open relationships by supporting them as they develop a greater sense of self through relationships with others. In my work with poly clients, we explore personal needs and how they are(n't) met and consider ways that these relationships can be structured.
