Q: Dating seems so challenging and a lot of people are jaded these days! Is it really possible to find a meaningful relationship?
A: “I hear this all the time, and I’ll tell you what I tell all my clients, it’s not just possible, it’s more achievable than ever! Consider this, when everyone else is playing the casual dating game, someone who shows up with real intention and authenticity shines bright like a diamond. It’s about bringing your whole self to the table and knowing what you’re looking for as well as how to communicate those needs. I see meaningful connections happen every day, but they start with believing they’re possible.”
Q: What’s the biggest obstacle singles face in today’s dating world?
A: “I’m going to be really honest here, it’s looking in the mirror. You know what I see time and time again? Incredible people who don’t realize they’re the common thread in their dating stories. Look, if you keep ending up in the same situations with different people, that’s telling you something. It’s like having a recipe that never quite turns out right, at some point, you’ve got to check your ingredients. How are you showing up? What boundaries are you setting? Remember this: people will only treat you how you allow them to. It’s about finding that sweet spot between having high standards and showing compassion, both for yourself and others.”
Q: How can someone overcome limiting beliefs in their dating life?
A: “Let me share something powerful I’ve learned from working with countless clients: your beliefs are like a filter through which you see every potential relationship. Are you still holding onto that heartbreak from three years ago? Or maybe you’re carrying around your parents’ relationship dynamics? Here’s what I want you to do, get really honest with yourself. Write down your beliefs about love and relationships. Then ask yourself, is this still serving me? Is this actually true? What is the belief you’d need to have to achieve your desired result? Remember, every great love story starts with someone having the courage to open their heart and be vulnerable.”
Q: How do you recommend staying open while still being discerning?
A: “Oh, this is one of my favorite topics! Think of it like house hunting, you absolutely need your non-negotiables (like location and budget), but getting too attached to a specific vision of hardwood floors or bay windows might make you miss out on your dream home. I’ve matched couples who, on paper, wouldn’t have given each other a second glance, but they’re now beautifully married. Stay true to your core values, absolutely, but leave room for life to surprise you. Some of the best love stories I’ve witnessed started with ‘I never thought I would…’”
Q: There’s so much conflicting dating advice out there. How can someone navigate it?
A: “Trust me, I see my clients getting absolutely overwhelmed by all the noise out there, one expert says this, another says that, and then there’s what your group chat is telling you! Here’s the thing: not all advice is created equal. It’s like having a personal trainer versus watching random workout videos online. Working with someone who understands your unique situation and has a track record of success can save you years of trial and error. Invest in quality, credible guidance that resonates with your values and feels authentic to you.”
Q: What’s your best advice for singles looking to transform their dating experience?
A: “Here’s what I advise, stop treating your love life like it’s something that just happens to you. The most successful relationships I’ve helped facilitate started when people decided to be intentional. Do the inner work, yes, it’s uncomfortable sometimes, but so is staying stuck. Get clear on what you want AND who you need to be to attract that. And please, don’t forget to bring your heart along with your head. Love is both an art and a science, you need both the strategy and the soul. When you show up fully, authentically, and intentionally, that’s when the magic happens.”
