I specialize in working with adults and adolescents working through trauma, shame, relationship/family difficulties, and mood disorders. I have experience working with a broad range of ages, ethnicities, socio-economic backgrounds, genders, sexualities, and family compositions. People come to therapy with a broad range of strengths and difficulties, but the thing they all have in common is that they want something to change. Therapy is a space for you to explore what you want those changes to be and begin the process of creating them for yourself, with the therapist as a supportive collaborator.

I offer shame-free, sex-positive counseling to help you live with meaning, power, and purpose. I help adult individuals and couples untangle the “why” behind their patterns—so they can choose the “what now” with clarity and courage. As a cisgender gay man in my 50s, I bring lived experience and past professional expertise to my counseling work, blending the deep empathy of Mr. Rogers, the no-shame attitude of Dr. Ruth, the humor of Dan Savage, with the insight of Brené Brown.
As Mr. Rogers said, "I like you just the way you are." Come as you are, and let's get curious together. Tell me your story. I'd love to hear it.

I am knowledgeable about and supportive of LGBTQIA+ relationships, polyamory, and other types of consensual nonmonogamy.
At the core of my approach to therapy is the belief that as humans we are all flawed and imperfect. In our work together, I accept and respect my clients just as they are, while helping them grow into who they want to become. My goal is for you to end each session feeling supported, knowing that no matter what you’re walking through, you have a partner in the journey. And, as my kids will tell you (with the obligatory teenage eye roll), nothing is too embarrassing or taboo for me to talk about comfortably.

Everyone craves to be seen, heard, and understood. In Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, we see the mind as made up of “parts” - the different feelings, thoughts, and voices of our inner world. Some carry stories of grief and shame from past wounds, while others take on protective roles in forms like self-criticism and isolation. Queer and neurodivergent-affirming IFS therapy will help you connect with a calm and secure place within where you can hear your own wise voice. I will support you in connecting with the beautiful heirlooms of ease, clarity, and self-trust that have been lost in the silenced history of our communities.

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.
