Open relationship and polyamory therapy in Westminster, CO and virtually throughout Colorado
I offer non-monogamy-affirming therapy for partners who are practicing, considering, or questioning open relationships and polyamory. Consensual non-monogamy includes arrangements where people agree that romantic or sexual relationships need not be exclusive.
We can explore your needs and agreements without pressure to choose a particular relationship structure.
What you might bring to therapy
You may be working out new agreements or finding that existing ones no longer fit. We can talk about:
- Jealousy, insecurity, or feeling unsure where you stand.
- Different wishes about openness, closeness, or independence.
- Time balance, prioritization, and changing needs.
- Boundaries you find hard to express or agreements that mean different things to different people.
- Trust and connection when communication has become strained.
Consensual non-monogamy is distinct from secrecy or broken agreements. When betrayal is central to what you’re experiencing, read about infidelity and betrayal recovery.
How I work with you
My approach is active and practical. I ask questions, share what I notice, and help slow down conversations that have become hard to follow.
For example, if a change of plans brings up hurt or jealousy, we might look at what you expected, what had actually been agreed, and what you want to communicate now. We can make room for the feeling without assuming it tells you which relationship structure to choose.
We can practice putting needs and limits into words, checking whether an agreement is understood, and discussing changes. You can tell me when an observation doesn’t fit. The conversation should reflect your experience.
Working with partners
Relationship sessions
I offer sessions with all partners involved. We can focus on what happens between you, including communication, expectations, and agreements. Explore couples and relationship therapy.
If desire, intimacy, or sexual communication is your main concern, read about sex and intimacy therapy.
Sessions and a first conversation
Standard sessions are $120 for 50 minutes. Sessions with additional partners may require a higher fee or more time; we’ll discuss those details in advance. See fees, payment options, and session formats.
I offer in-person therapy in Westminster and virtual sessions for eligible Colorado clients. Clients must maintain a primary residence in Colorado and be physically in Colorado during every session.
You don’t need to have the right words or a clear plan. A free 20-minute phone consultation gives us time to discuss your questions and whether working together feels like a fit. I’ll call you at the scheduled time.
