Polyamory & Kink-Affirming Therapy in Los Angeles
You want care that doesn't pathologize how you love, connect, or structure your relationships.
You're navigating polyamory, kink, or non-monogamy in Los Angeles, and you're tired of therapists who treat your relationships as a symptom to explore rather than a valid way of living and loving.
Maybe you've had a therapist ask if your non-monogamy is "really about avoiding commitment," or watched them subtly steer every session back toward monogamy as the healthy default. You don't need to be talked out of who you are.
You need a therapist who already understands that non-monogamy, polyamory, and kink are legitimate relational and sexual frameworks, not problems to fix.
What kink and polyamory-affirming therapy actually means
Being kink-affirming goes beyond simply being "kink-aware." It means actively incorporating your relational structure and desires into the therapeutic work itself, rather than treating them as separate from — or in spite of — the healing you're seeking.
Many therapists claim to be kink-friendly without real training in this space, which often shows up as subtle judgment, confusion about basic terminology, or discomfort that clients pick up on immediately.
Affirming care in this context means:
Treating consensual kink and BDSM as healthy expressions of sexuality between adults, not pathology
Understanding polyamory and non-monogamy as valid relationship structures with their own skills, challenges, and joys — not a phase or avoidance
Being fluent in language like compersion, nesting partner, metamour, and aftercare, so you're not stuck explaining your own life in every session
Never defaulting to monogamy or "vanilla" sex as the unspoken baseline of what's normal or healthy
Who this work is for
This space is for individuals exploring, practicing, or questioning non-monogamy, polyamory, or kink who want a therapist that won't flinch, judge, or quietly try to redirect them toward more conventional relationship models.
It's for people navigating jealousy, compersion, communication, or structure within polyamorous relationships, as well as those exploring kink identity, power dynamics, or negotiating desires they've never felt safe naming out loud before.
It's also for people at the beginning of this exploration: questioning monogamy, curious about kink, or unpacking shame around desires they've kept hidden for years. You don't need to have it all figured out to start here.
Why work with me
I bring real understanding — not just clinical training, but a genuine, non-judgmental stance toward the full range of consensual relationship structures and sexual expression. My approach centers your autonomy and your own definition of a healthy relationship, rather than measuring your life against a monogamous, vanilla standard that was never built for you.
As a multidisciplinary artist and therapist, I understand identity as something layered, evolving, and deeply personal — which shapes how I show up for clients navigating complex relational and sexual landscapes.
What changes over time
Clients I've worked with in this space often find that they stop bracing for judgment in their own therapy sessions, and start actually using that time to explore what they want, rather than defending it. They build stronger communication skills for navigating multiple relationships or power dynamics, develop more self-trust around their desires, and often experience real relief simply from being fully known by someone who isn't waiting for the "real problem" to reveal itself underneath their relationship structure.
Areas served
I offer polyamory and kink-affirming therapy to individuals and couples throughout Los Angeles, including Silver Lake, East Hollywood, Los Feliz, Hollywood, and Echo Park, both in-person and via telehealth across California.
