Polyamorous and Open Relationships

People open up their relationships to pursue more connection. Yet, living in a society that expects and prioritizes monogamy can often make this pursuit or practice feel isolating and insecure. Whether you’re newly considering the Lifestyle or have an established Polycule, I specialize in helping individuals—partnered or solo—work through this challenging process.

I have experience working with couples/individuals exploring Consensual Non-Monogomy and Polyamory and am well versed in the literature and growing resources available. If you are new to CNM, I can help guide you in finding what relationship style works best for you and your partner(s), provide resources and tools, and process/explore any issues that come up. If you are experienced in CNM, you may feel at ease in knowing that you wont need to "educate" me on this topic.

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

I have had extensive training and experience in working with kink, polyamory, and non-traditional relationship structures.

I work with individuals, couples, triads, and polycules of all configurations to achieve healthy communication, reduce jealousy, negotiate boundaries, and resolve common conflicts experienced in non-traditional relationship styles. I work extensively to provide education to (and on) the polyam, ENM, CNM community and see these relationship styles as valid and healthy, not psychopathological.

Relationships can take many forms with all their joys and stresses. When multiple partners are working toward creating strong relationships, at times communication can be difficult and getting back on the same page is important. This is also true for communicating with other people in our lives who may not understand who we are or why we do the things we do. We can work together to process these challenges, build stronger connections, and set boundaries.

We treat individuals and couples in both traditional and non-traditional relationships. Our staff is knowledgeable on both personal and professional levels with non-traditional relationship styles, and loves supporting those looking to create security and ease in how they relate.

Do you feel like you can’t say how you really feel? Do you love your partner, and also realize no single person could, or even should be everything? Do you watch RomComs shouting “just date both of them!” You might be poly, swinging, or you might be somewhere in the middle; how you date, copulate, and relate is valid. Whether you are trying to explore who you are, come out, or do what you do better, I am here to replace the lack of Disney movies showcasing your flavor of romance.

I provide affirming, nonjudgmental support for individuals and partners navigating consensual non-monogamy. Whether you're exploring polyamory for the first time or seeking help with communication, boundaries, or emotional regulation, I offer a space that honors the complexity and uniqueness of your relationships.

I’ve work with poly/non-monogamous folks both individually and in their relationship structures.

I help my clients clearly define needs, wants, expectations and have specific experience in helping couples navigating opening up for the first time. I bring attachment work into understanding communication and relational patterns.

Navigating polyamory or an open relationship comes with unique joys and challenges. Whether you're working through communication struggles, boundary-setting, jealousy, or external judgment, I provide a nonjudgmental, affirming space to explore what works best for you. Using EFT, Narrative Therapy, and Systemic Modalities, I help partners strengthen connection, build trust, and create relationships that feel secure, fulfilling, and aligned with their values.

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.

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.

This is something that is much more mainstream and open than it used to be and yet many people don't understand the philosophy behind it. I must admit, I struggled with that myself until someone I cared about very much shared with me that their relationship orientation was poly. I then felt the need to educate myself and learn, and discovered that there's a need for support in the poly community. I'm more than happy to discuss and help you navigate!

I have had the pleasure and privilege of working with clients with all kinds of relationship orientations. I have seen the beauty and expansiveness of non-monogamy first hand. I believe that all relationships are valid and deserve the chance to thrive and flourish. Unfortunately we live in a society that still has a very narrow vision of what relationships should be. In my practice, however, all relationships will be celebrated, supported, and affirmed.
