Polyamorous and Open Relationships

I have significant experience working and connecting with the polyamorous community. I work to support individuals in exploring and becoming comfortable in their identities and in finding successful and comfortable relationship configurations.

Experienced in pre-marital or commitment counseling, individuals, couples or groups who want to explore their way of relating intimately.

As someone who has explored ENM personally, my clients regularly express a tremendous sense of relief not having to educate me on the lingo or having to fear that I'll think their relationship structure is the cause of their issues. I also assist clients in deciding if ethical non-monogamy is for them and supporting them in beginning their explorations of opening up.

I welcome consensually non-monogamous partners. Whether it's just one of you or the whole polycule, I can help you find a way to love each other better.

I am affirming of any relationship configuration that is consensual and I enjoy helping people find peace within themselves so they can be connected, peaceful partners.

I work with both individuals and couples who practice polyamory/non-monogamy (and otherwise). I have experience working with these relationship dynamics, and find the needed skills useful in many other areas of an individual's life.

Having a decade of experience navigating non-monogamous relationships ensures that clients do not need to fear judgment from me, nor do they need to worry about having to educate their therapist about their lifestyle.

I specialize in trauma informed attachment work geared for ENM folks, poly folks and open relationships. I work individually and with couples(+) whether you are already practicing ENM or wanting to start. I am a poly relationship anarchist and have worked clinically with folks as well. I believe an ENM approach to relationships is deeply healing, satisfying and the embodiment of living life to its fullest. I adore helping people integrate ENM into their lives and support them where they are at.

“I don’t want an open relationship, but I want to support my partner.” Not everyone is certain about the relationship they want or need all the time. Sometimes these needs are fixed, and sometimes they shift over time. I have worked with mono-poly couples in my practice, where one partner identifies as monogamous and the other as polyamorous. I can work with triads, quads or other family units just as I would work with a couple.

I help individuals and couples navigate the complexities and joys of non-monogamous, open, and polyamorous relationships. Clear goals, boundaries, trust, respect, consent, and communication are vital but not sufficient aspects to success in these partnerships. Whether you are newly considering opening up your relationship or have been a part of the community for some time, I’d be happy to help you explore and create the relationship structure that is most pleasurable for you.

I have been personally been practicing polyamory, and ethical non-monogamy (CNM) for about 8 years. ENM upholds and promotes values that I hope we share: personal autonomy, freedom of choice, abundance over scarcity, community-building, and most importantly - love. I also believe that living a ENM lifestyle is a political choice... anti-racist, anti-patriarchal, and anti-capitalistic in nature. ENM is not "better" than monogamy, but it can be a better option for some!

I have both professional and personal experience in initiating and navigating ethically non-monogamous relationships. It can be a very exciting journey full of discovery and connection but it can also be challenging. I give partners and individuals tools and resources to understand and minimize the negative possibilities and enhance the positive ones.

I have years of counseling experience supporting clients of all relationship expressions. I am personally polyamorous, and have professional experience supporting clients through the process of opening relationships, and navigating the relationship and attachment needs of polyamory / ethical non-monogamy. I can help you identify and learn to effectively communicate your needs to partners so. Feeling held, safe, and secure with multiple partners is possible.

Non-monogamy and polyamory break the conventional molds of relationships, often presenting unique challenges and requiring nuanced navigation. These relationship dynamics necessitate a complex balance of love, trust, and communication between multiple partners, and it is our mission to equip you with the tools and understanding to nurture these connections in a healthy and satisfying way. At CCC, we understand that non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships are not a one-size-fits-all model.

I enjoy working with individuals and their partner(s) to create relationships that work for all parties. I empower my clients to set up the parameters that best suit their individual and relational needs. My approach is to move at your pace and provide the respect and care needed, as these conversations often are uncomfortable. Whether this process is new or you’re a seasoned pro at polyamorous/ open relationships, we can help smooth out any roadblocks preventing thriving relationships.

Times are changing, and compulsory monogamy is on the way out. So many couples are “opening up” without support or education about what that may consist of. Modern healthy relationships are consensual, communicative, and respectful, no matter what the “rules” are. How do we know what we want in our relationships when we have been taught to feel ashamed of our desires? How do we navigate jealousy or fear in a way that is beneficial to our relationships? Let's explore boundaries and preferences!

Non-traditional relationships offer the opportunity to maximize our interpersonal connectedness. I seek to support folks in polyamorous and open relationships by embracing the difficult emotions that often arise and processing them as strengths.

Polyamory, open relationships, and swinging are becoming more accepted ways of creating and maintaining relationships in lieu of traditional monogamy. If you're non-monogamous, you may prefer to create and maintain connections with multiple partners. I specialize in working with individuals and poly families who need help with improving communication, sorting out hierarchies of relationships, addressing jealousy with metamours, healing infidelity/ broken agreements, and rebuilding trust.
