Dating Again After a Long Relationship

Dating after a long-term relationship can bring excitement, uncertainty, and a whole new set of questions about who you are and what you want. Coaching can help you rebuild confidence, recognize old patterns, and approach dating with greater self-trust and intention.

Learning to Trust Yourself

When you've spent years prioritizing other people's needs, it can be surprisingly difficult to know what you actually want. Together, we can strengthen your self-trust so you can make choices that feel grounded, authentic, and aligned with your values.

Breaking Old Relationship Patterns

We often recreate familiar relationship dynamics—even when we've consciously decided we want something different. Coaching can help you recognize patterns like people-pleasing, overgiving, avoidance, or choosing unavailable partners so you can begin relating from a different place.

Boundaries & Discernment

Healthy boundaries aren't about building walls; they're about knowing where you end and someone else begins. We'll explore how to identify what feels right for you, communicate your limits, and develop the discernment to recognize relationships that support your wellbeing.

Knowing What You Want

Sometimes the hardest part of dating isn't finding someone—it's getting clear about what you're actually looking for. Coaching offers space to explore your desires, values, relationship goals, and dealbreakers so you can date with greater clarity and intention.

Communicating Desire

Expressing what you want—in dating, sex, and relationships—can feel vulnerable, especially if you've learned to minimize your needs. We'll work on communicating desire, preferences, boundaries, and expectations with greater confidence and authenticity.

Dating in Midlife

Dating in midlife can look very different from dating when you were younger, especially as your priorities, body, sexuality, family life, and sense of identity evolve. Coaching can help you navigate dating, intimacy, sexuality, and relationship choices from the person you are now—not who you used to be.

Creating Relationships That Feel More Like You

The goal isn't simply to find a relationship; it's to create relationships in which you can actually be yourself. Together, we'll explore what authentic partnership, intimacy, freedom, pleasure, and connection look like for you.

Therapy or Coaching?

Therapy focuses on psychological healing, mental health, trauma and longstanding relational patterns. Coaching focuses on growth, self-trust, dating, intimacy, boundaries and creating intentional change.

As a licensed therapist, I keep these services distinct so that we can be clear about the kind of support you're choosing.
