Polyamorous and non-monogamous relationships are increasingly common. People who identify as non-monogamous or who are in non-monogamous relationships often have unique perspectives and needs. Having a mental health professional who is educated about various aspects of non-monogamy can help you and your partner(s) to negotiate challenges to intimacy and reach informed decisions. This can be especially true for couples who are in the initial stages of "opening" their relationship. Seeing a mental health professional with your partner or partners can also help you develop strategies to improve communication, increase intimacy, and navigate relationship conflicts as they arise.

Opening up a relationship or re-contracting an existing one can be daunting. I have experience working with polyamorous individuals and couples on issues such as contracting, jealousy and emotional transparency.

As a non-monogamous practitioner, I work with polyamorous, non-monogamous, and relationship anarchist individuals, couples, and polycules to deepen their awareness and communication strategies toward greater autonomy, deeper relatedness, and more intentional decision-making in relationship. I believe that it is important as someone from these identities to work with someone who has lived and understand these experiences, and can help with the different challenges along the way.

I understand that finding the right support for unconventional relationships can be challenging. Sometimes the central work is around ethical non-monogamy and sometimes its nice to focus on unrelated challenges with some who "gets it".

Oh snap. Welcome to the world of possibility and also crazy emotions! But for real....I like to start with what needs to be unlearned and what might be holding you back individually before jumping into the realm of expectations/boundaries/etc. Again - I do not claim to be an expert...and I am also VERY willing to navigate areas that promote honesty, connection, authenticity, and trust.

There is no right way to be in relationship. We may be balancing the tension between a desire for freedom, with a craving for novelty. I believe we can feel most empowered and connected to our deepest selves and can define relationship for ourselves, whatever those configurations and boundaries may look like. There is no solution but the one that is best for you. I love working with intimate partners in defining and exploring what relationship means to them and supporting their choices.

Individuals engaging in polyamorous and consensual nonmonogamous (CNM) relationships have been historically marginalized and pathologized in our society to due the halo affect of monogamous couples and nuclear-family values. However, less than 15% of families in the US today look like a nuclear family. I am both poly-knowledgeable and poly-focused in my practice, meaning that I serve clients who may be seeking therapy for polyamory/CNM-related reasons, or simply seeking poly-affirming care.

I have noticed that the biggest reason for relationship distress seems to come from communication and this is not unique to a type of relationship. I can help you learn how to find meaning in the empty spaces. I believe we all have capacity in our hearts to love more than one person and as long as the partnership is consensual then there is no reason why multiple relationships should be an issue for anyone not interested.
