By the time most of my clients find me, they are ready to give up on dating. They have suffered through the awkwardness of first dates, the pain of being rejected, and they have analyzed their actions and their dates' actions ad nauseam and wondered what they are doing wrong.

As a dating and relationship coach, a question that I get asked frequently is “What’s the best dating app? Is it Bumble, Hinge, OKC?”  I also hear a lot of variations to this question including:

 We met at a Christmas party hosted by mutual friends. 

After being widowed for so many years, I was comfortable going out on my own.  I wasn’t looking to date. I figured my chances of finding true love after 60 were low a...

Have you ever needed a dress for a special occasion and realized that you had to go buy something new? Maybe you needed a new suit for a big presentation or a dress for a black-tie wedding you were attending.
