If you Need a Place to Talk about Polyamory…
More people than ever are asking big, brave questions about love—questions like:
What if love doesn’t have to fit inside one relationship?
What if we could choose honesty over secrecy, expansion over limitation?
As polyamory and other forms of consensual non-monogamy become more visible, therapy rooms are beginning to reflect that shift. And that’s a good thing—because while polyamorous relationships can be deeply fulfilling, they’re not always simple.
Studies suggest that 1 in 9 Americans have explored polyamory, and nearly a third of people under 30 say non-monogamy aligns with their ideal relationship model. But behind those numbers are real people—each with unique histories, values, and cultural lenses that shape how they love, connect, and heal.
And that’s where therapy matters.
A Space Where You Don’t Have to Explain Who You Are
Too many polyamorous individuals come to therapy only to feel misunderstood—or worse, pathologized. I’ve heard stories from clients who spent entire sessions educating their therapist, or who were told that non-monogamy was the problem rather than part of their truth.
Polyamory isn’t a dysfunction. But it does come with challenges: managing jealousy, navigating agreements, setting boundaries, negotiating time and emotional energy across partners. Add to that the weight of social stigma, especially for those of us holding intersecting identities—queer, trans, neurodivergent, BIPOC—and the need for affirming support becomes even clearer.
Where Culture and Love Intersect
As a therapist of color, I recognize that conversations about love, commitment, and sexuality don’t happen in a vacuum. They’re shaped by our family systems, our migration stories, our faith traditions, and the generational narratives we carry. Many of us grew up in communities where non-monogamy wasn’t even a language we had access to—and now we’re writing new stories, often without a roadmap.
That’s courageous. And it can be complicated.
Whether you're navigating shame, secrecy, or cultural expectations that feel at odds with how you live and love, therapy can offer a space to hold all of that complexity. You don’t have to choose between honoring your roots and honoring your relationships.
What I Offer
In my practice, I offer therapy that is:
Poly-affirming: I recognize non-monogamy as a valid, ethical, and meaningful relationship orientation.
Sex-positive and kink-aware: I welcome all expressions of consensual intimacy and identity.
Culturally sensitive: I understand that culture, race, and systemic dynamics shape every part of our relational lives.
Whether you're opening up a relationship, deepening communication in a polycule, or simply needing a space where you can be your full self—therapy can be a powerful tool for growth and grounding.
If you’re looking for a therapist who understands both non-monogamy and the importance of cultural context, I’d be honored to support your journey.
