I help people who feel shaky making phone calls, nervous chatting with neighbors, and overwhelmed by the idea of a first date, develop relationships with confidence. 

My clients struggle as you do. Despite being kind, compassionate, and conscientious, they want to duck and cover around new people and have no idea how to “just be yourself.” 

When they first come in, my clients feel behind the curve. They know life’s not a race, but seeing their peers connect easily with others makes them feel like they’re failing.  They’re frustrated and embarrassed that close relationships feel so out of reach to them. 

They’d love to be in a romantic relationship, but the idea of that first date has them sweaty and nauseated. Better to avoid. 

They want to make friends, but attempts at small talk leave them wanting to run away and hide. Better to avoid. 

Their worries get in the way of the life they want in so many ways. They ask, “Shouldn’t I have gotten over this shyness by now? Is this self-consciousness going to follow me around forever? Other people go on dates, invite people over, and seem to actually enjoy work holiday parties. Why can’t I?” 

My clients aren’t the kind of people who want to go through life alone and yet, that’s what they are doing. They know they’re missing out and they feel stuck. 

Before they came to see me, my clients thought they knew exactly what was wrong with them and that being single for so long or not having friends was proof. Too awkward, too dull. Not attractive enough, not competent or confident enough. They were scared that I might notice their imperfections too.

Like my clients, you deserve better.  You deserve to stop worrying about what others think of you. You deserve a partner and a community of friends that you can relax and be yourself around. 

Meaningful, satisfying relationships are not out of your reach.

You can date and make friends with confidence, and I’d love to help you get there. Stop the pattern of avoidance. Email me today.
