Being in poly/ENM relationships can be incredibly healing. But, come to find out, healing is hard work! Sharing your loved one with other romantic interests can bring up a shit load of feelings and touch on our deepest attachment wounds. While you may be totally committed to ENM in your brain, your heart is throwing an adult sized temper tantrum and screaming at you to stop the pain. You feel stuck in a loop made of big, uncomfortable feels and unresolved conflict. You're anxious, jealous, scared, and exhausted. You want nothing more than to get out of the cycle and find the connection that brought y’all together in the first place.

Our practice centers the experiences of queer, BIPOC, poly, and neurodiverse folks. We believe oppressive systems are the root of our suffering.

Working with a therapist who specializes in ENM can be a game changer. Couples therapy can help you to finally work through your conflict, rather than getting stuck in it. I can help you to identify needs, process feelings, understand your cycle, navigate agreements/boundaries, and heal attachment wounds that get in the way of enjoying your relationship(s).

Therapy with me will feel gentle, relational, and empowering. Navigating tough stuff in your relationship can be scary and hard, but I have your back! So it can also be really beautiful and bring you closer together. Reach out for information about how to get started - I can't wait to get to know y'all! Open to new virtual clients in California.

I specialize in queer and poly couple's therapy.
