Living a human life is inherently difficult, especially when trying to learn to navigate it on your own. It is so important that individuals in our community feel connected to others that genuinely care about their wellbeing. That is where I come in. I work hard to make sure that each client of mine feels supported, heard, and accepted in the counseling room. When we are critical of ourselves, our experiences, and the path that we choose to heal, then we are doubling down on our pain and further creating an environment that feels suffocating. This is why compassion, empathy, and kindness are the cornerstones to my style of therapy.

There are many different things that can impact how we show up as our authentic selves and for others - so many of us struggle with depression, anxiety, the effects of past traumas, relational difficulties, work-related stress, life transitions, exploration of sexuality, the list goes on and on. Regardless of where you are in your journey, there is always a way to move forward in a space that balances compassion and empathy with direct and honest evaluation of circumstances. Currently, I am accepting adult individuals and couples who are motivated and empowered to look inward to discover and overcome life challenges together.

Looking for support navigating life and life changes? I can help. Therapy can help shift something within our control or change how we relate to things outside of it. This might look like understanding why we're repeating patterns and what we can do to change them or developing healthy strategies and boundaries to deal with people, places, and things we can't change. We'll work to identify the patterns of emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships currently showing up in your life, and how you want to adjust them to live a life more in alignment with what you truly value. For Couples, I do communication seminars only.

Do you have days where you feel like your relationships (friends, coworkers, family, significant other) are not meeting your expectations? Relationships can be challenging because they require us to change. Life transitions like starting a new job, having a baby, or being diagnosed with cancer also require us to change. When we feel "unprepared" for these changes, our mental health declines. This is why I'm a firm believer in therapy.

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.
