Consensual non-monogamy challenges conventional norms and requires a high level of communication, trust, and mutual respect. These relationships can offer deep satisfaction and personal growth, but they also come with their own set of complexities. My therapy services are designed to help you navigate these complexities, providing a safe and supportive environment to explore your relationships, address any issues, and enhance your connection with your partners.

Therapy to help you improve communication, resolve conflicts, and enhance emotional connection. My approach takes into account attachment styles, past and current relationship dynamics, childhood development and influences, symbiosis and differentiation, evidence-based skills that keep relationships thriving, neuroscience, and somatic experiencing to address your unique relationship needs.
