DATING GROUP
People say dating is hard because they don't know it is really a wild adventure in learning to love yourself-flaws, quirks, dance moves and all.
While we can laugh at how modern dating has become a wild array of funny buzzwords (ghosted, swipe right/left, soft launch, etc.), it has also led to dating being framed too often as a drudgery you have to tolerate if you want to find love. When we undertake dating from that perspective, we miss out on a really special opportunity!
We're approaching dating from the wrong lens and it's unfortunately validated by people we know: "Dating is so hard!" "Well, I’m here to say it isn't.
What if dating can actually equate to adventure, confidence and so much joy?
What if the idea that it is HARD is a setup that causes us to tackle this area of our life like a problem needing to be solved? What if instead, this is actually our chance to not just find love, but to cultivate it in every area of our lives including in how we feel about ourselves? That's what this group is about!
Let’s get started!
-
This is an intentionally cultivated space for people who are dating to:
Workshop every part of dating from profiles to how to ask questions for real connection to how to hold onto yourself when you find a potential match.
Learn dating doesn't have to feel hard-we will figure out together how dating can work better for you! We really will study what you need in dating vs. someone else and figure out how to help you do just that!
Learn how to feel ALIVE with all of the feelings that come up in dating. You will get really good at enjoying all of the feelings, even momentary disappointment!
Get help anywhere you get stuck along the way! There are tips and tricks for making online dating take less effort!
Rewrite negative or insecure stories about pieces of our history i.e. How do I share that I have never been in a relationship? Or how do I share that I am divorced with kids?
Hone in on who we are looking for and how to ask questions that help us identify those people quickly
Have support all week even outside of group through the private facebook group and bi-weekly office hours.
Practice confidence! You will learn to shoot your shot and have fun doing it!
Ultimately learn to not just like your life, but love yourself in it!

Practice vulnerability and connection with others in ways that help us build that same rapport on dates
Groups give us more ideas for how to do the things we want to do. It's amazing how we get in our own way!
Hear others’ insecurities, negative belief patterns and frustrations, and see in real time how to loosen those beliefs up into new energy and new motivation (It’s seriously amazing how you’ll relate and see freedom for yourself from seeing others work in front of you!)
Lift each other up! Build energy as the group celebrates wins together (Hint: Wins include things in the past we might have seen negatively or not been able to see at all.)
Step out of our shell in the same way we need for dating. We practice the same skills we want in our outside life so our 'game' is immediately upped just by showing up and talking in group.

This group is for:
People who like their lives (and if you don’t, let me help you with that!), who want to share it with someone or multiple someones, and who could use some help in enjoying that process somewhere along the way.
This group is for dynamic people of all ages, races and preferences who have a desire to try something new, find love, challenge themselves, take care of themselves, share themselves with others, and find connection. No matter where you are in your dating life and whatever your fears and frustrations are, this group will help you shift limiting beliefs into joyful dating .
This group is a safe and inclusive space for ALL looking to date from an empowered place of self-confidence and enthusiasm.

Because I needed a group like this one!
Dating is one of the only facets of life in which you can put in SO MUCH effort and still have 'nothing to show for it.' This group is intended to provide a focused container for that effort. It serves as a weekly opportunity to put intentional focus on this goal, in a way that helps you continually practice the skills that contribute to you living your best life. Who you date is less important than the energy you bring to the process. It’s like anything that matters to us, when we put focused and intentional energy towards it, it shows and our lives change.
I have dated in multiple eras of my life and I wanted a group like this one. When I decided to create one, I reached out to some other dating coaches and ended up joining one of their groups for a period of time. It was an awesome experience. I loved the people in my group (just like the groups I run!). They were smart, strong and successful people who all got stuck in similar ways any of us can in our life. Unbelievably, when one of us would share an insecure or negative thought, everyone else could relate. As that thought got workshopped in the group, we all felt more able to unravel that belief in our own life. We were part of a community interested in each others’ wins.
I am offering this group because it's going to be both a lot of fun and life-changing! I am excited to offer what I wish I would have had and to help you grow the kind of love you want in your life, all while being part of a kick-ass community.

You get to work with a relationship therapist AND a dating coach!
As a therapist, I get the privilege of helping my clients connect on dates that often grow into relationships. I work with a lot of couples too. I’m really good at helping clients work with the parts that get activated in dating so they can slow down and have different outcomes. I also help them brainstorm new ways of working relationally and the results are closer and more intimate love lives.
Because this is a coaching group, and not a therapy group, I can be more hands on and focused on helping you achieve your dating goals. You will grow as a person through this process, but we will be focused on falling in love with yourself through your dating life. If we figure out that therapy could be helpful in some part of your process, we will get you hooked up with a good therapist. I know many!
I also get to offer this group internationally because I am offering it as a coach. Mental health therapists can only offer therapy in the states they are licensed in, but coaches can work with anyone that is a good fit for their program.
