I am also familiar and comfortable with working with those in non-traditional relationship types - non-monogamy (ENM, Polyamory, Swinging), BDSM/Kink, etc.
Therapy is what you make of it. It is not a quick fix, but rather a journey that’s guided by someone who is a neutral party, that you can trust and collaborate with to help reach your goals. We take for granted how important it is to feel seen, heard, safe and cared for.

Kink/fetish; non-monogamy/ polyamory/open relationships; gender/sexual identity; sexual shame/self-acceptance; erectile dysfunction, pain, vaginismus, premature ejaculation, compulsive behavior, etc
Very few of us were given the tools and affirmation needed to navigate sex, identity, and relationships, despite these things being a fundamental part of our humanity. I am a sex & relationship therapist passionate about reducing sexual shame, fostering a lens of curiosity and self-acceptance in sexuality, building a sense of playfulness and confidence, developing a personal acumen of sexual values, and unlearning messages of sex-negative cultures.

Life has a way of shifting beneath us—through illness, loss, separation, or new beginnings like parenthood—and suddenly, we can feel untethered from who we are. These transitions can awaken buried pain or trauma that feels overwhelming to face alone. If you’re struggling to find your footing or yearning to reconnect with yourself, you don’t have to navigate that alone. I offer a safe, creative space to explore your story, reconnect with meaning, and begin the process of healing and integration through art and mindfulness-based therapy.

Grief doesn't only happen when someone dies. Sometimes you're grieving a relationship, a version of yourself, the family you wish you'd had, your health, a friendship, or a future you thought was certain. Maybe you're navigating a major life change, carrying anxiety that won't quiet down, or realizing that old experiences are still shaping how you move through the world. I work with adults who want a place to make sense of what they're carrying; not just cope with it. Together, we can create room for the grief, anxiety, trauma, and change that can make life feel heavier than it should.

From the outside, you seem to have it all together. You work really hard on the details, after all, you are responsible for everyone and everything. But you can’t shake the voice inside your head which screams you’re failing. Even though you put everyone’s needs in front of your own, you feel like you’re falling short as a mom. You can’t even remember what your hobbies are, let alone what really makes you happy. You’ve had enough, you don’t think you can keep holding it together.

From the outside, you’re doing well. You show up, take care of what needs to be done, and people rely on you. But underneath, it feels different. Everything takes more effort than it should. You’re tired in a way that rest doesn’t fix, and you find yourself wondering, “Why does this feel so hard?” You may have been told it’s anxiety, stress, or burnout. Sometimes it is. But for many women, there’s more beneath the surface—patterns that have gone unnoticed for years.

Our worldviews are made up of stories: about ourselves, others, the ways we engage with people, and the ways we move through the world. I'm fascinated by the mutual influence of individual perspective and shared experience, as well as the ways societal norms both limit and support individuals and relationships. How are you influencing and being influenced by others? What aspects of your story do you wish were different? How do you want to be known, and move through the world? "I don't know" is a perfectly acceptable answer! Let's explore and see what we discover.

Do you find yourself feeling anxious or worried, no matter how hard you try to relax? Do you struggle to connect in relationships or get caught in cycles of negative self-talk? Perhaps your grief or emotional pain feels overwhelming—like it might consume you at times.
You may be reaching a point where anxiety, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, or grief are taking too much from your life, leaving you feeling stuck or powerless to change things. Maybe it’s been so long since you’ve felt peace that you can hardly remember what that feels like.
But you are ready—for relief, for healing, and for a new way forward.

FAQ - 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.
