LET’s be real, dating is hard!

It is also fun, an opportunity to meet new people, a reason to get fancy, and a good story. Our experience with dating is based a lot on how we show up; our mindset, confidence level, and overall lens. It’s not always easy to show up as our best selves, especially if we struggle with any the following:

  • Nervousness

  • Being  new to the dating scene or to online dating

  • Having experienced multiple unpleasant dates

  • Lacking confidence

  • Struggling with interpersonal skills

  • The list goes on…


no one is perfect.

Given my professional background and experience I can help build your confidence so that you're ready to give the dating scene the best version of your true self! Whether you’re new to dating or continue to face common themes like anxiety or awkwardness, with the right feedback and coaching, you will feel more calm and confident out in the dating world

Let’s be real, we all lost some social skills during COVID. When you work with me, we will meet for a consultation, and I will provide you with feedback on your dating profile, along with a packet of tips on dating. If you choose to move forward with additional sessions, I will work with you on specific skills and solutions to your dating hurdles so that you can re-enter the dating world with a renewed sense of confidence.

Being confident in the dating world means:

  • Being secure in yourself

  • Acknowledging and accepting your flaws (we all have them!)

  • Being non-judgmental and open-minded

  • Being able to laugh at yourself 

  • Having boundaries and respecting boundaries

  • And being okay with being alone

Just to clarify:

  • People who are judgmental are often insecure and therefore, very judgmental of themselves. They project their insecurities onto others.

  • When we are confident and secure in who we are, we spend less time judging others and ourselves, and have more compassion. It's a beautiful place to live!
