Polyamorous and Open Relationships

Wouldn't it be wonderful to work with a therapist and not have to explain your non-traditional relationship structures, someone who understands the complexity even if you aren't in therapy for relational issues. I am a member of the polyamorous community and have over adecade of insight into the challenges, and rewards associated with it.

I come with a deep understanding and knowledge of what it is to be polyamorous/ENM and the unique challenges that can come with this relationship structure. Whether you need assistance processing through broken boundaries, dismantling couple’s privilege, or letting go of the relationship escalator, I’m here to help. I have lead support groups and guided folks through the tender process of discovering ENM for themselves and the complexities that come with.

As a Poly-Friendly Professional, I am affirming of relationships of all structures and specialize in assisting individuals dealing with the complexities of multiple intimate connections. I offer compassionate guidance for those seeking to expand the boundaries of their current relationship, as well as those who are already practicing non-monogamy. I’m experienced in supporting couples who are considering opening up their relationship or marriage for the first time.

I know firsthand how hard it is to be in relationships differently from the norm. People are constantly doubting the legitimacy of your relationship, plus it’s difficult to connect with people when you’re something of a trailblazer. You’re opening up new possibilities. As exciting as that is, be also prepared for challenges! They’re challenges of your choosing and there’s something special and authentic about that.

Clients should feel affirmed that polyamory is a valid lifestyle, and my practice is welcoming towards polyamorous people. Furthermore, I have over two decades experience understanding the diverse spectrum of the consensually non-monogamy communities.

Polyamory, open relationships, and swinging are becoming more accepted ways of creating and maintaining relationships in lieu of traditional monogamy. If you're non-monogamous, you may prefer to create and maintain connections with multiple partners. I specialize in working with individuals and poly families who need help with improving communication, sorting out hierarchies of relationships, addressing jealousy with metamours, healing infidelity/ broken agreements, and rebuilding trust.

I've worked with many clients who've engaged in various forms of ethical non-monogamy in individual and couples sessions. I've had friends who engaged in ethical non-monogamy since I was in undergrad. I tried it myself, but didn't find it was a good fit for me. I educate clients about ethical non-monogamy as an option if they have historically been monogamous. I educate clients about how to do it well cause it involves a lot of communication and negotiation of needs as well as clear boundaries.

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

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 welcome consensually non-monogamous partners. Whether it's just one of you or the whole polycule, I can help you find a way to love each other better.

Consensual non monogamous relationships are growing every year and having a therapist who is versed and trained in this relationship structure is so valuable for people looking to enter polyamory in an informed manner, or to address issues that may arise in poly relationships. Knowing that you can come to therapy to address open relationship dynamics from a supportive, welcoming stance is the empowering experience many clients need.

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 have significant experience working with individuals who are practicing non-monogamy, polyamory, and other forms of nontraditional relationship structures

There are many choices available to couples. Consensual non-monogamy (CNM) is a set of values that couples can choose to have in their relationships. If you are interested in this kind of relating, many questions and choices are important for your identity and journey. Ideally, these decisions and how you explore your relationships come from a place of agreement, trust, conflict resolution, boundary (not rule) exploration, and compersion.

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 years of personal experience in the ethical non-monogamy community. I love helping couples find security in their relationship so that they feel safe to explore others. I nerd out about relationship dynamics and love reading everything I can about polyamory and alternative lifestyles. I work with people to increase secure attachment, increase sexual and emotional fulfillment, and create the life that they want.
