I see therapy as a unique space where you are free to show up exactly as you are in that moment. A safe place to practice being your truest self; to explore your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement, and feel seen, accepted, and genuinely cared for in return. It's a chunk of time that is solely for you and whatever you may need. Some days that might be exploring your innermost feelings, some days that might be venting about your tough day at work. I provide space to navigate hardships together, celebrate your growth and successes, to laugh and cry and everything in between.

In one of his most famous poems, Walt Whitman says, “I contain multitudes.” And I think we all do–we contain many selves that have been born out of our life experiences, from joyful moments to painful ones. Some parts of our selves we really love and cherish; others, we may fear or distrust. By spending time with our parts, approaching them with curiosity and compassion, we can learn to accept, love, and learn from all of our parts, who, together, make us who we are. In this process, we also learn how to advocate for ourselves, how to heal from trauma, and how to love others.

You face unique challenges and feel alone in sorting through all life throws at you. Constant demands pull you in every direction, leaving you feeling inadequate; as if you’ve lost you own voice and vision for what you want out of your relationships, life, and future. Maybe it feels like a struggle to make a meaningful connection, a decision, or time to focus on your own well-being. You’re left feeling stuck and unsure of how to move forward. You want your relationships to be a place for support and understanding. You want to have balance, peace and stability.

Sometimes it may feel like your inner worldview and dreams don’t match the outer world’s experiences and expectations. Sometimes we need help to gather all of our feelings, thoughts, beliefs, histories, and dreams in order to speak them out loud and make sense of them in a safe space. My goal is to help you share your story and your light with the world. When we share our story we heal; when we heal, we give to the greater world and the ripple of change is exponential. My ideal client's goals are to live authentically and freely, unapologetically, powerfully, and to find fulfillment in the day to day.

Do you live in a world of sadness that feels like it will swallow up everything else in your life? Perhaps you are grieving the loss of a loved one, a situation, or how you thought life would be. Or maybe you feel a push-pull between punishing yourself out of guilt, and letting yourself heal so you can move forward. Many of my clients begin therapy feeling trapped in the past, whether that involves a childhood trauma or a decision they regret. I can help you understand what you’ve been through and how it’s impacted you. By embracing your story, the good and the bad, you can feel a sense of peace you may not be able to imagine.

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.
