Creating space to connect
Does dating feel exhausting? Do you feel stuck? Over it? Tired of swiping and not finding the connection you crave?
Therapy for dating in Los Angeles, CA
Why can’t I figure this out?
You’ve mastered the recipe for success academically and professionally. You know how to put in the work and be intentional in creating the life you want. When you want something, you know the steps to take and it’s been effective in most areas of your life… except for dating.
What can I change?
Change happens when we learn to nourish ourselves, tune into what we want, and honor what we need by establishing boundaries that create healthy relationships. Therapy for dating in California is a space where you can challenge yourself to identify what you value, and what you deserve, so you can practice having hard, vulnerable, and important conversations in a safe space. After all, you know this is what you need to create healthy relationships.
Is it Me?
The Chill Dater:
You’ve learned to go with the flow. You minimize your needs and avoid rocking the boat. You’re always up for what the other person wants even if you’re not. You just want to feel seen and valued for who you are. However, the struggle to show up as yourself feels impossible at times.
The Busy Dater:
You would be out there dating…. if only you had the time. Your life is full. You’re rocking it at work, you have plenty of scheduled time with friends and/or family. However, you can’t seem to figure out how to make time for something you value.
The Bread Crumb Dater:
You crave connection and a meaningful relationship, but you’re not sure that you’re worthy of having that. While you often settle for breadcrumbs and frustrating situationships, you want something more.
Dating is… _____?
Exhausting? Impossible? Disappointing? The way we view dating and ourselves as daters impacts how we show up in that space. What’s your dating script? Maybe you show up to dates with the expectation that:
You won’t be liked
That you’ll need to hide the true you
Or that you have to make your wants and needs small.
These scripts didn’t start with your first crush, first date, or first relationship. Therapy for dating in California will help you explore and challenge these patterns.
Does any of this sound familiar?
I don’t have the time.
I’m over situationships.
Dating apps don’t work.
I just want to find someone kind.
It’s never going to happen for me.
Maybe I’m too much.
I missed my chance.
Maybe I’m not enough.
All the good ones are taken.
I’m going to end up alone.
“Daring greatly means having the courage to be vulnerable. It means to show up and be seen. To ask for what you need. To talk about what you’re feeling. To have the hard conversations.”
- Brené Brown
What is Dating Therapy?
Therapy for dating can help you identify your internal narratives, spot your relational patterns, and help you build the skills for the healthy relationship that you deserve!
The first step is improving the relationship that you have with yourself. From that space, you will notice the way you talk about dating and yourself and will learn to spot and shift the way that you show up in this space. For some, that may mean exploring why you’re drawn to unavailable partners or why you accept less than you deserve. For others, it may be sitting with why it’s hard to be on your own. Together we will focus on healing, self-worth, and values to help you build strong and meaningful relationships.

Explore your needs
Identify your values
Practice asking for what you need
Learn more about your attachment style
