Associate Therapist / AMFT (#125133)

I help poly couples stuck in jealousy heal the root issues of their conflict so they can move forward and feel peaceful in their partnerships.

Being in poly/ENM relationships can be incredibly healing. But, come to find out, healing is hard work! Sharing your loved one with other romantic interests can bring up a shit load of feelings and touch on our deepest attachment wounds. While you may be totally committed to ENM in your brain, your heart is throwing an adult sized temper tantrum and screaming at you to stop the pain. You feel stuck in a loop made of big, uncomfortable feels and unresolved conflict. You are anxious, jealous, ashamed, sad, scared, and ultimately, exhausted. You want nothing more than to get out of the cycle and find the connection that brought y’all together in the first place, but how?

Therapy can be a gamechanger - especially when you work with a therapist that specializes in poly couples. Poly couple’s therapy can help you to finally work through your conflict, rather than getting stuck in it. A poly couple’s therapist can help you to identify needs, process feelings, understand your cycle, navigate agreements and boundaries, and heal attachment wounds that get in the way of enjoying your relationship(s). 

My name is Ginelle, and I am deeply committed to supporting couples navigating polyamory. My approach is trauma-informed, attachment-based, experiential,  neurodivergence affirming, and queer as hell. I practice emotionally focused couple’s therapy and have extensive experience applying the theory to my work with LGBTQ+ and poly couples. 

When I am not therapizing or deep in the throes of attachment work, you can most likely find me chilling in bed with my cat, Scully (yes, she is named after my girl crush, Dana Scully from the X-Files). I am a big fan of vintage stores and I have a small collection of Betty Boop and horror items. I absolutely love Halloween as I get to decorate and watch some of my favorite movies. My version of self-expression is getting tattoos. My happy place is anywhere in nature, but I especially love Joshua Tree National Park. Ultimately, I’m a queer, cisgendered hopeless romantic that nerds out about relational dynamics and attachment. I want nothing more than to help bring you closer to yourself and the people you love.
