If you're poly, ENM, open, nontraditional, relationship anarchist, or curious- howdy!
Whether you're just wondering about it and haven't dared mention it to your monogamous partner, you're trying the dating scene, you're a couple considering opening up, or you're an old hand who's been around the block, I've probably seen your ilk in my practice! In the spirit of open-hearted love, I say, the more, the merrier.
In therapeutic work around ethical nonmonogamy, I draw from attachment theory, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and principles from research done by the Gottmans. I am also grounded by my foundations in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
I speak comfortably with clients about having sex, changing bodies, and all aspects of identity. Let's talk about the joys and complexities of opening your heart- I promise I'll do ya one better than blithely blaming your mental health challenges on poly.
