Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM)
Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM)
ENM (Ethical Non-Monogamy) refers to relationship structures where connections are not limited to romantic or sexual exclusivity between two partners. It is based on consent and open communication.
Types of ethical non-monogamy:
Monogamish Open Relationships Polyamory Polyfidelity Solo Polyamory Swinging Relationship Anarchy
Therapy for navigating connection, boundaries, and self-awareness in non-traditional relationships
Whether you’re new to non-monogamy or deeply experienced, therapy offers a space to explore the emotional, relational, and practical dynamics of your connection(s) with care and intention.
ENM can offer opportunities for freedom, intimacy, and personal growth, but it can also lead to complex emotional experiences. Feelings of jealousy, insecurity, communication breakdowns, or unmet needs may arise. These feelings are not indicative of a flaw in you or your relationship; they are simply part of being human and navigating nuanced dynamics.
All relationship structures deserve thoughtful & compassionate support.
Ethical non-monogamy emphasizes the importance of relationships founded on consent, care, and integrity. It's about staying curious rather than seeking certainty, and it involves creating alignment through honest dialogue and reflection. Exploring these aspects of ENM encourages a conscious approach to how you love and connect with others.
In our work together, we can explore how to remain open without compromising your sense of grounding and how to cultivate deeper connections while respecting your own boundaries and needs.
Together we might explore:
Identity, autonomy, and codependency
Repairing rupture or managing transitions
Being “out” or navigating stigma
Moving through shame, uncertainty, or self-doubt
Trust and communication across multiple relationships
Boundaries, agreements, and emotional safety
Jealousy or comparison
Power dynamics and differentiation

Holistic & Relational Psychotherapy
I offer affirming, nonjudgmental therapy for individuals and partners navigating non-monogamous structures, whether you’re solo poly, polyfidelitous, exploring hierarchy, or somewhere in between. My work is rooted in attachment theory, nervous system awareness, and a deep respect for relational diversity.
Rather than assuming a “right” way to relate, I focus on helping you understand your own emotional needs, relational patterns, and boundaries. Together, we’ll explore how to build connection that feels aligned with your values, your bandwidth, and your evolving relationships.
A space where your relationship doesn’t need to be explained or defended
You don’t need to educate me about what ethical non-monogamy is. You don’t have to apologize for what you’re exploring. This is a space where curiosity, complexity, and non-traditional love are welcomed and held with care.
