Often clients come to me to work on healing from past attachment trauma that manifests as current relational issues
Many of my clients are part of the LGBTQ+, polyamorous, and kink communities or identify as artists, creators, and trailblazers—people who exist outside the mainstream, and are deeply committed to self-exploration and healing, exploring their identities, or deepening intimacy in their relationships.
I specialize in working with clients with attachment trauma, emotional avoidance, and relational wounds. I integrate narrative therapy, relational cultural theory, and IFS. My approach to healing is deeply relational. My approach is sex-positive, LGBTQ+, consensual non-monogamy and kink informed, as well as rooted in social justice advocacy.

Do you feel like a stranger in your own life? Change often starts with recognizing that the way you have been coping, surviving or relating to yourself is no longer working for you. I work with clients who are ready to move beyond surface level insight and begin making meaningful changes in the way they think, feel, and show up in their relationships and daily lives. In session we will focus on the issues that keep resurfacing, using them as a guide to uncover deeper patterns, past trauma, or underlying factors that may not be immediately obvious but continue to keep you stagnant.

I work with thoughtful, high-functioning adults who aren’t necessarily in crisis, but recognize that success, competence, and insight don’t automatically create a meaningful life. You may want more capacity for intimacy, greater freedom from old patterns, a clearer sense of purpose, or a deeper connection with yourself, your partner, and the life you’ve worked hard to build.

Are you or your family experiencing difficulty communicating or navigating life transitions? Have recent events impacted you socially or emotionally? If you are feeling disconnected from yourself or from those closest to you, therapy can provide a supportive space to foster meaningful change.
I work with military members, veterans, first responders, and their families to identify relational “stuck points” that interfere with connection and growth. Healthy communication is foundational to strong relationships. Together, we will explore negative interaction patterns and develop new cycles of secure, responsive attachment.

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.
