Are you navigating open relationships, polyamory, or kink and finding that the emotional terrain is harder than expected? Jealousy, miscommunication, and disconnection don't mean your relationship structure is wrong — they mean you're human, doing something most people were never taught how to do. Whether you're newly exploring non-monogamy, restructuring an existing dynamic, or trying to understand what you actually want, therapy can help you move from confusion to clarity. You deserve relationships that are intentional, values-aligned, and genuinely fulfilling — not just in theory, but in practice.
I use CBT with a systemic lens — meaning we look at both your thought patterns and the relational dynamics shaping them. Sessions are direct, non-judgmental, and structured around building emotional awareness and communication skills. I specialize in nontraditional dynamics and sexual health. No explaining your lifestyle here.
Ready to stop navigating this alone? I offer a free consultation to see if we're a good fit. Book directly through my website or reach out with questions. Telehealth available for flexible scheduling. Call for a consultation and take the first step — clarity is closer than it feels.
