Healthy Dating Coaching

For many people dating can feel overwhelming and discouraging. You may question yourself wondering if you are doing something wrong or just not meeting the right people. Maybe your idealized date isn’t who you are actually meeting leading to disappointment. Perhaps you grew up in a family where loving and nurturing relationships weren’t represented such as in a family with an alcoholic or narcissistic parent. This can make it difficult to know where to start. 

Dating is hard, and being bombarded with dating sites, apps and imagery real or imagined doesn’t help. Some of the things that make it so difficult are not knowing the rules and personal boundary setting in a world of instant gratification. Sensory overload can often lead to compulsive patterns and feelings of extreme highs and lows.

Everyone wants love in their lives. The problem for many people is that the original place where you learned how to relate was through inappropriate role modeling from your family. This can result in low self-esteem, fear of rejection, abandonment and fear of taking risks.

At some point you want to connect and take the first step back into the dating world. My dating coaching sessions are for people who may be feeling anxious or ambivalent about dating or those who have been avoiding relationships altogether. I can help you to form your own individualized dating plan integrating boundary setting and supportive guidance. With extensive background in relationships and recovery both personally and professionally, I am excited to offer these services short and long term. All sexual orientations welcome.

Please feel free to call and set up an appointment to get started with finding the romantic relationship you desire. 415-794-5468
