My inclusive practice welcomes everyone, including LGBTQ+, ENM and polyamory, kink-positive, and BIPOC individuals.
Specializing in relationships, sex, complex trauma, and body image issues, I guide individuals and couples through the somatic experiences underlying depression and anxiety, often rooted in deep loneliness. We emphasize trust-based relationships, exploring identity, and nurturing lasting connections. Developing an emotional vocabulary helps address fears of vulnerability and the burden of shame, restoring safety and resilience essential for navigating trauma and c-PTSD. This approach fosters enduring bonds towards healing, creating a space where you can explore and redefine your sense of self within meaningful relationships.

My years of psychodynamic work have brought me full circle to the realization that patterns of fear and doubt are most often at the core of one's desire for seeking help. Along with this awareness is the keen understanding that there are blueprints & pathways to enable one to move beyond these challenging states of being. Applied Attachment Theory provides a lens as well as a portal to transform insecurities when it is combined with eclectic models of developmental trauma designed to concurrently address the fears embedded in one's mind and nervous system. Hence, a psycho-biological integrative approach for transformation!

If you're like most of my clients – you are high functioning and externally successful, but when you slow down or try to relax, your nervous system kicks into high alert. So, you can’t stop. Your intimate relationships are draining and a struggle to maintain, but you can’t be alone either. You feel an emptiness and lack of fulfillment no matter how much you accomplish. You have tried coping on your own, but your triggers, as well as, your stress are getting worse. I get it. I believe that triggers are opportunities for healing and growth and that with putting in the work there is light at the end of the tunnel. Help is available.

Open Relationships Non-Monogamy Therapists
Why might an individual want to see a therapist specializing in open relationships and consensual non-monogamy?
A client seeking help with an open or consensually non-monogamous relationship will prefer to talk with a professional whom they can count on to be nonjudgmental. Talking with a supportive therapist may on its own help relieve some of the stigma and challenges partners face. That said, the most important factor in the success of any type of therapy is the ability of the client and practitioner to form a strong, trusting bond. For this reason, an individual or couple could find success with a therapist who does not specialize in non-monogamous relationships but with whom they can build trust.
When should open or consensually non-monogamous partners seek counseling?
Like other couples, polyamorous partners typically seek counseling when they face relationship challenges they can’t solve themselves. In non-monogamous relationships, this could include breaches of trust, including infidelity; unclear rules or violations of boundaries; jealousy of outside partners; the stress of juggling the needs of multiple partners; or the effect of high partner turnover on children. Like those of other couples, polyamorous bonds can be threatened by increasingly frequent arguments, poor or dysfunctional communication, diminished emotional or physical intimacy, or the feeling that something is wrong, even if they don’t know what it is.
Do therapists have special training to gain expertise in open relationships and consensual non-monogamy?
No, but individuals seeking help with non-monogamous relationships would most likely consult a licensed professional with specific training in couples counseling or couples therapy. Couples counseling and couples therapy both involve teaching concrete strategies to navigate conflict in relationships. A good therapist can engage both partners as they explain these approaches but can also work with a single partner.
How long does therapy for consensually non-monogamous couples typically last?
Couples therapy for any type of couple, tends to be relatively time-limited, lasting around 12 weeks on average. A good therapist will tailor sessions to the individual partners’ emotions and sometimes their past, along with patterns found to be repeating in the relationship. In many cases, clients should expect their therapist to assign “homework” between weekly sessions.
