My ideal client navigates the complexities of life within the queer or kink communities, or in nontraditional relationships like polyamory. They might be a parent, like me, raising a non-binary or special needs child, seeking balance and understanding. They need a safe, non-judgmental space to explore their identity and relationships. As a Latina, part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and a therapist with degrees in Psychology and Marriage and Family Therapy, I bring empathy and experience, using modalities like EFT and Gottman to help them thrive and embrace their authentic selves.

Have you ever felt alone in a crowd? Struggling with the difficulties of your lived experiences and feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders can be a common human experience, and overwhelming to the point of feeling weak, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. When you find yourself grappling with a sense of doom and experiencing a feeling of everything falling apart around you, all you desire is someone who can acknowledge your emotions, stand by your side, actively listen, and empathize with your situation.

Being my authentic self is important to me and I want you to be yourself with me. We often don’t get the chance to be completely open and honest in our society, so I hope we can create that safe place in our sessions. I believe that you are your own expert, and sometimes even experts need to explore their own ideas to come up with solutions to all sorts of problems or issues. I use aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and solution-focused therapy depending on my client’s needs. I often incorporate creativity, laughter, and games in session because I am a “big kid” and because it’s fun!

Perhaps you find yourself overthinking and second-guessing your decisions, wondering if your wants and needs are a bit selfish. Embarrassment causes you to feel strong insecurities and you hide how you feel because others have always told you to be strong, toughen up, and hide your feminine or masculine side..

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.
