Online Therapy for Ethical Non-Monogamy throughout California
There are no simple love stories.
Let’s be real: navigating multiple relationships can sometimes feel like hosting a dinner party where every guest has a different preference. There’s plenty of love, but just as many logistics. Maybe you’re wrestling with the pangs of jealousy when your partner’s date night looks a little too good, or perhaps you’re balancing the emotional needs of three partners and feeling like you need a larger emotional calendar.
Non-monogamy doesn’t require a lack of jealousy, but the ability to take responsibility for your feelings.
Let’s work toward building a grounded, fulfilling framework for all your relationships.
If you’re seeking a space where you can explore all of this without explanations, justifications, or raised eyebrows—welcome. Here, your relationships aren’t treated as complicated puzzles to solve but as authentic expressions of love and connection. You don’t have to start every sentence with “I know this sounds complicated…” because you’re in a space where your love life is accepted as real and deserving of support.
Whether you’re open, poly, swinging, or exploring, your relationships deserve to be recognized, respected, and supported. Navigating the complexities, repairing trust, or even just making room for joy—none of this has to be done alone. You deserve the same support and understanding offered to more traditional relationships.
Together, we’ll work toward building a grounded, fulfilling framework for all your relationships. Here’s what we might focus on:
Mastering Communication – Because “I’m fine” just won’t cut it when juggling multiple relationships. Let’s deepen the dialogue and make space for each partner to feel heard and valued.
Clarifying Boundaries – Whether it’s “no texting other partners on date nights” or “movie nights are sacred,” we’ll find what fits for you. Clear boundaries help everyone feel respected and understood.
Managing Jealousy – So that a flirty text doesn’t derail your peace of mind, and you can refocus on what truly matters—like showing up for each other.
Fostering Connection – From nurturing intimacy with each partner to creating practices that honor each relationship’s unique bond, we’ll explore ways to keep your relationships thriving.

FAQs
-
Yes! I work with individuals navigating the complexities of non-monogamy as well as with couples, triads, quads, and any other relationship configuration that is part of your life. It’s not uncommon, for example, to work with a hinge partner alongside their nesting partner(s) and metamour(s). I also support various members of a polycule in navigating the unique challenges that arise, from cohabitation to parenting and beyond.
-
Yes, I do. I oversee a small group of therapists, several of whom are skilled in working with individuals in non-traditional relationship configurations. If you’d like referrals for one or more of your loved ones, just let me know.

When working with a couple, triad, quad, or other relationship grouping, my typical approach is to meet with everyone together in our first session. For the second session, I’ll meet with each person individually, and then for the third session, we’ll all come back together as a group. One-on-one meetings typically occur just once unless there’s a clinical reason to do otherwise, with the consent of all parties. After I’ve met with everyone individually, we’ll continue meeting as a group in subsequent sessions.
