Schedule your consult
does this Feel familiar?
You love your partner but feel a sting of jealousy you can’t explain
You feel pressure to be cool about things that actually hurt
You feel guilty for wanting attention, or scared that needing more makes you “the jealous one”.
Real Tools for Real Relationships
We’ll start with a structured assessment and individual sessions to dig into your story, uncover patterns, and map out what’s actually happening between you.
Whether you’re monogamous, poly, or exploring opening up the process is the same, just more humans in the mix.
Opening Up (Without Falling Apart)
Thinking about opening up your relationship but not sure where to start? I help partners navigate those first conversations, without shame, pressure, or awkwardness.
We’ll explore what openness means for you through an attachment lens, so it feels secure and honest. Whether you’re drawn to Relationship Anarchy, Kitchen Table Poly, or something entirely your own, we’ll shape it together, on your terms.
We’ll Get to the Root, Not Just the Repeat
You’ll walk away with a better sense of what’s actually happening between you. We’ll unpack the patterns that keep you stuck and help you understand each other in ways that finally make sense. Along the way, you’ll build empathy, sharpen communication, and learn how to handle conflict without losing connection, or yourselves.
no fear of judgement In this space
there's no room for shaming or a therapist steering you toward monogamy
I'm not just trained in kink, BDSM, and Polyamory, I'm also an active member of these communities I serve.
I've experienced firsthand the struggle of finding a therapist who truly understands. Being part of these communities has taught me the subtleties that textbooks and classes can't capture.
I've been an active member of the furry community since 2008. I am now the chair of one of the world's largest furry conventions. Through that journey, I discovered the kink and leather scenes and navigated my own path in open and poly relationships.
