Dating can be confusing

Dating Can Be Confusing

Everyone is insecure on some level and anxiety frequently gets in the way of a great initial connection. I will help you stay grounded and give you clarity when you're feeling rejected, confused, angry, or emotional.

Dating is all about the Choices you make

Having lived and dated in New York City for more than 30 years, and having successfully coached hundreds of others all over the world since 2007, I have gotten very good at spotting red flags and deciphering human behavior. Everyone has issues, it's a matter of managing your own and picking a person who's issues don't clash with yours.

I will help you decide EXACTLY what you want and need in a relationship, identify your past patterns, raise your self-esteem, and create personal boundaries to aid you in choosing a great partner, then turning it into a healthy, lasting relationship.
