I specialise in working with multigamous multi-partnered relationship structures such as polyamorous, Open, and Swinging, (often called "ENM" or "CNM"). I enjoy supporting multi-partnered people to examine and challenge relationship expectations that have been placed on them from dominant mononormative social norms. I focus my work on supporting Swingers and Swinging communities. As a loud and proud Queer bisexual Swinger, I am deeply committed to providing care that is affirming, respectful, and supportive.
I work with people who have a relationship structure that works for them – such as Polyamorous, Multigamous, Kink, BDSM, Open, and Swinging – and how they can work through the non-consensual-monogamous relationship expectations that have been placed on them from the Anglo-Saxon Overculture in colonialised Australia.
I am an eclectic anti-oppressive, trauma, and violence informed therapist, with lived experience in Queer, Swinging, and multigamous communities. I enjoy working with “alternative” relationships. I will support you to navigate the challenges you might encounter due to mononormative expectations and beliefs.
