Navigate ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, and alternative relationship structures
Open relationship therapy is for individuals and partners navigating consensual non-monogamy, polyamory, swinging, relationship anarchy, and other alternative relationship structures. Whether you're opening an existing relationship, already practicing non-monogamy, or considering if it's right for you, therapy provides support for the unique challenges and opportunities these relationships offer.
Non-monogamy requires exceptional communication, boundary-setting, emotional processing, and conflict resolution skills. I help individuals and partners develop these skills while addressing jealousy, insecurity, time management, and the complexities of multiple relationships. Building strong communication in any relationship structure benefits from couples therapy that supports all relationship configurations. I'm knowledgeable about diverse relationship structures and won't try to "fix" your non-monogamy.
My role is to help you create relationships that work for you—whether that's polyamory, open relationships, swinging, or something entirely unique. For exploring sexual boundaries in multiple relationships, sex therapy can help navigate intimacy complexities. Your relationship structure is valid, and you deserve informed, affirming support.
We'll explore your current or desired relationship configuration, identify what's working and what isn't, and clarify your values around non-monogamy. I'll help you understand the different types of non-monogamy and find what fits you best.
Successful non-monogamy requires explicit communication and clear agreements. We'll work on communication skills, boundary-setting, negotiation, and creating relationship agreements that protect everyone's emotional safety and autonomy.
Jealousy, insecurity, and compersion (joy at a partner's happiness with others) are all normal in non-monogamy. I'll help you process these emotions, understand their roots, and develop healthy coping strategies that don't restrict your or your partners' autonomy.
Time management, metamour (partner's partner) conflicts, coming out, dealing with societal judgment—these are real challenges in non-monogamous relationships. We'll develop practical strategies to handle them effectively.
I'm experienced working with non-monogamous individuals and relationships. I understand the terminology, common structures (hierarchical polyamory, solo poly, relationship anarchy, etc.), and the unique challenges that come with consensual non-monogamy. I won't waste time explaining why you "should" be monogamous—that's not my job.
My approach is practical and focused on skill-building. Non-monogamy requires more communication, emotional awareness, and boundary work than traditional monogamy. I'll help you develop these skills while honoring your autonomy and relationship choices.
I also understand that non-monogamy isn't always the answer. Sometimes couples discover through therapy that they're not compatible with this structure, and that's okay too. My role is to help you figure out what works for you, not push any particular relationship model.
