Alternative Relationships

You deserve a therapist who truly understands nontraditional relationships.

Navigating love, intimacy, and commitment outside of the mainstream can be deeply fulfilling—but it also comes with unique challenges. Whether you’re exploring polyamory, relationship anarchy, open relationships, or other forms of ethical non-monogamy, you deserve a space where you don’t have to explain or justify your relationships before getting to the heart of your needs.

At Life is a Song Therapy, I provide affirming, knowledgeable, and nonjudgmental therapy tailored to those in alternative relationship structures. I’m not just an ally—I’m part of this community, and I bring both lived experience and professional expertise to support you.

How I Can Support You

1. Relationship & Communication Support

Every relationship—monogamous or non-monogamous—requires strong communication, trust, and intentional boundaries. I help clients navigate:

✔ Navigating polyamory and ethical non-monogamy
✔ Setting and maintaining boundaries
✔ Managing jealousy and insecurity with compassion
✔ Developing relationship agreements that actually work
✔ Processing relationship transitions (opening up, closing, or shifting dynamics)

Whether you’re new to non-monogamy or an experienced polycule navigating a tough moment, we’ll work together to build connection, clarity, and confidence in your relationships.

2. Identity, Autonomy, & Self-Discovery

So much of mainstream society tells us that love should look one way—but that’s simply not true. I provide a space to explore your identity, needs, and values without shame, so you can:

✔ Understand what relationship styles align with you
✔ Work through internalized mononormativity or shame
✔ Strengthen your personal autonomy and self-trust
✔ Explore queerness, gender identity, and intersections with relationships

Your relationships don’t define you—but they are a part of your journey toward self-discovery. Therapy can be a powerful place to align your relationships with your authentic self.

3. Navigating Breakups, Transitions, and Community

Breakups in non-monogamy can be uniquely complex—especially when partners remain connected through shared communities, metamours, or co-parenting. I help clients process:

✔ Breakups and relationship grief within non-monogamy
✔ Navigating shifting roles (from partner to friend, co-parent, or metamour)
✔ Finding community support while maintaining personal well-being
✔ Healing from past relationship trauma or toxic dynamics

We can work together to ensure your healing process honors your needs, even within the complexities of alternative relationships.

A Space Where You Are Fully Seen

Polyamory, relationship anarchy, and alternative structures are valid, meaningful, and powerful—but finding a therapist who truly gets it can be hard. At Life is a Song Therapy, you don’t have to waste your time educating your therapist on the basics.

Instead, we’ll focus on what really matters: helping you build relationships—romantic or otherwise—that honor your needs, values, and autonomy.

If you’re ready to deepen your relationships, strengthen your communication, and step fully into your most authentic self, let’s connect.
