Co-creating intentional and fullfilling relationships
Freeform’s approach is rooted in the philosophy that relationships are what you make them; they are creative & fluid. The way I view relationships is inspired by the amazing community of individuals, couples and polycules that I have watched navigate alternative relationships in countless unique ways - they are living proof that anything is possible!
Approach
As a former trauma and couple’s counselor and active member of my queer and ENM community, I use both clinical & personal experience to guide you with curiosity. From swinging to relationship anarchy, newbies to decades of lifestyle experience, I help all folks under the ENM umbrella navigate relationships and boundaries through exploration, healthy communication, and consent.
I believe in the power of community and collective healing, which grow through healthy relationships. With extensive training and experience as a trauma therapist, I recognize that trauma also takes place on a societal and systemic level. This drives me to support people who reject cultural norms to embrace authenticity, especially when it comes to relationships. I strive to provide services that are culturally informed, anti-racist and anti-oppressive. I support all identities in the LGBTQIA+ community. I am kink experienced, informed and affirming. I am also sex work experienced, informed and affirming and provide discounts to sex workers and their partners. Social justice is a passion of mine, and I do not believe it is possible to be non-monogomous and “apolitical”.
What makes coaching different from counseling?
Coaching: focuses on goal-setting, communication skills, and forward-focused growth. Coaching is paid for 100% out of pocket, insurance does not cover coaching.
Counseling : focuses on treating mental health diagnoses or emotional disregulation, and may include healing past trauma and attachment wounds . It can be paid for by insurance or out of pocket.
Freeform Coaching may be right for you if…
You are currently monogamous and want guidance exploring new sexual experiences or relationship styles.
You have experience in alternative relationship styles and would like assistance with unexpected challenges.
You want to live out pleasurable, fulfilling relationships that are equitable and authentic to all parties involved.
You have basic emotional regulation skills which prevent you from getting into quickly escalating/difficult to resolve conflict.
Your relationships are free from coercion or abuse.
I do not provide counseling or mental health services, but I am happy to provide resources and referrals.
For everyone under the ethical non-monogamy umbrella
Freeform : not conforming to a regular structure or shape
Conscious: aware of and responding to one’s surroundings
