Therapy for Polyamorous, Open, and Non-Traditional Relationships
I work with individuals, couples, and partnerships across the full spectrum of non-traditional relationship structures: polyamory, open relationships, ethical non-monogamy, kink, solo poly, relationship anarchy, chosen family systems, and arrangements still finding their shape.
At its best, non-monogamy asks us to become more honest, more self-aware, and more relational. It invites us to challenge the quiet assumptions many of us inherited: that love is scarce, that commitment only has one shape, that desire should remain static, that relationships must follow a linear path, or that one person must meet every need for the rest of our lives.
Non-traditional relationships can make room for something more flexible and alive.
They ask us to hold nuance. To communicate more directly. To examine jealousy without shame. To understand attachment wounds without letting them run the whole relationship. To build agreements that are rooted in care rather than control. To let love, identity, sexuality, and commitment evolve across time.
This work is not about forcing your relationship into a pre-existing model.
It is about helping you understand what is true for you, what is true for the people you love, and what kind of relational structure can hold the fullness of everyone involved.
Common Reasons People Come to Therapy
People often seek support around polyamory, ENM, or non-traditional relationships when they are navigating:
Opening a previously monogamous relationship
Jealousy, insecurity, comparison, or fear of replacement
Attachment wounds and nervous system activation
Uneven desire, sexual incompatibility, or changing attraction
Communication breakdowns or recurring conflict
Broken agreements, secrecy, betrayal, or repair after harm
Differing needs for autonomy, closeness, sex, time, or commitment
Triad, metamour, or chosen family dynamics
Parenting, cohabitation, or long-term planning in non-traditional structures
Power dynamics, consent, or sexual shame
Identity exploration around queerness, bisexuality, sexual fluidity, or relationship orientation
Exploring how cultural conditioning, patriarchy, heteronormativity, gender norms, and mononormative scripts shape your expectations of love, sex, security, desire, and commitment
Deciding whether to deepen, de-escalate, restructure, or end a relationship
Sometimes the work is practical: agreements, calendars, communication tools, conflict repair.
Sometimes the work is deeper: grief, attachment, trauma, identity, power, longing, fear, and the old relational templates we bring into love.
Often, it is both.
For Individuals, Couples, and Partnerships
I work with:
Individuals exploring polyamory, ENM, kink, or non-traditional relationship desires
People already in open or polyamorous relationships who want support understanding their patterns
Couples opening their relationship or renegotiating agreements
Partners deciding whether a current structure still fits
People healing from rupture, betrayal, coercion, or relational confusion within ENM contexts
Whether you are new to non-monogamy or have been living this way for years, therapy can help you slow down, get clearer, and relate with more intention.
