Individual Therapy

for dating and relationship challenges

Dating can be confusing, anxiety-inducing, and emotionally draining.—But it doesn't have to be.

Frustrated with Online Dating?

Sometimes you feel close to burnout, wondering if the constant swiping, dull conversations, and getting ghosted is worth it.

You text endlessly and start to get your hopes up, only to be disappointed when you meet up with them (they're not who they seemed to be, or you're not attracted to them at all). Frankly, it's exhausting.

The ups and downs, and feeling like it's impossible to find a decent person you're attracted to who wants what you want has you thinking that living the single life surrounded by corgis, 14 cats, or houseplants is looking pretty good...

The ups and downs, and feeling like it's impossible to find a decent person you're attracted to who wants what you want makes you want to quit dating altogether...

New Relationship or Situationship?

Maybe you've been dating someone, but you're not sure if they're right for you.

There are things that seem great about them: they're super attractive and fun to be around.

But they drop the ball, don't meet you where you want to be emotionally, or don't want to talk about where the relationship is going. You're starting to wonder if you're in a situationship...

Stuck in the Past? Can't get over your ex?

Do you feel stuck in the past, wondering why your ex didn't treat you the way you wanted, and now you're caught worrying they'll give their next partner everything they couldn't seem to give you?

Or you think—if you had just done things differently, they would have stayed, or been a better partner? You wonder if there's something wrong with you, or if there's something you just don't get about modern relationships.

The hurt and uncertainty make it hard for you to move on. You're not sure if you're ready for a new relationship, but you wish you just had someone who loved you the way you needed—then you'd feel better about everything.
