Did you know therapy is not about creating an absence of negative feelings, or conversely, about creating happy feelings. It's about helping you live a productive life and about helping you develop and sustain meaningful relationships. It’s also about learning and applying the skills needed to grow from life’s ups and downs." Therapy is about creating a healthy and balanced life. You have everything you need to create the life you want to live. You might feel powerless but you are not. You might feel hopeless but there is hope. When we are stuck in negativity it feels hopeless and as if change is not possible.

As a queer therapist, I am extremely passionate about caring for my community in the ways this career allows. I take pride in ensuring my sessions are a safe and supportive space, and I am part of the communities I serve. I am trauma informed, sex positive, kink knowledgeable and neurodivergent affirming. I meet every client where they are at and see them as a person, not a set of symptoms to be "solved" or "fixed". I embrace the fact that healing is non-linear (and often messy!), and encourage my clients to cultivate compassion for themselves and the varied journeys that have led them to my virtual space.

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.
