About me
I’ve helped 100+ people date effectively and find life partners, including VC-backed founders and OpenAI & Anthropic execs.
I coach men & women, straight & LGBT folks, divorcés, serial monogamists, people who’ve been on 100s of dates, and folks who’ve never had a relationship.
I was single for 5 years and fascinated by how hard dating was. I tried dating apps and matchmakers, hired 4 dating coaches, and took 2 dating classes. What actually helped me meet my husband and develop a lasting relationship was learning to accurately filter for compatible matches and to master emotional connection and conflict resolution. My goal is for you to do the same.

FAQ
-
Founders, executives, investors, and mid-career professionals who bring the same intentionality to their personal lives as their careers. My clients are growth-minded, process-oriented, and high-agency. They don't just want to "find someone." They want to build an exceptional life partnership and are willing to do the outer and inner work to get there.
-
Many clients notice meaningful shifts within the first few sessions, including clarity on what they're looking for or better matches. We track progress through both outer milestones (match quality, dates with long-term potential) and inner shifts (how you make decisions, trust yourself, connect with dates). While some clients find their person in 3 months and others unfold their growth over a year or more, all of my clients make meaningful progress toward their dating goals.

Consider me a member of your personal board of directors. Reach out whenever you want input, including on a text thread, profile draft, or date debrief. I respond within 1-2 days. You can also book spot coaching sessions for time-sensitive situations. All of this is included in your monthly retainer.
-
Most clients spend a few hours per week outside of sessions refining their profile, debriefing dates, or doing inner work like journaling or reflection. The goal is to make every hour you spend on dating more effective. I've worked with busy executives who were surprised by how much progress they made.
-
We start with an initial 3-month commitment to ensure we have runway to create meaningful results. After that, we continue month-to-month. Some clients work with me for a few months; others stay on for a year or more, including after they've started dating someone. I focus on delivering a transformative experience and trust that it will turn into a long-term relationship when coaching is going well for both of us.

I meet with clients Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 12-5pm Pacific. Clients typically schedule their next session at the end of the current one.
