5 things to know about how I work
1. Practical, Consultative and Therapeutic
I provide a wide range of relationship and dating support—from the practical (helping you identify what you want, create a great online dating presence) to the consultative (advising you on communication) to the therapeutic (helping you shift your relationship patterns).
2. Tailored to You
Everyone needs something different. My approach is flexible and tailored to your needs and situation. I have 30 years of experience to draw on, with expertise in relationships, depth psychology, ancient wisdom teachings, mind/body science, and intuitive counseling.
3. Proven Method
My process allows us to dive in and work together like a team quickly. We’ll uncover what you most want, identify your relationship patterns, and develop a plan to move forward. It’s efficient, effective, and even fun.
4. Somatic Depth Psychology PhD
My training in somatic depth psychology gives me the expertise to help uncover what the embodied soul is longing for in relationship to the self, partnership, community and spirituality. Clients come to me for help with relationships and dating, but tell me they end up with even more — a greater sense of fulfillment.
5. Experienced
My personal experience of finding fulfilling love after heartbreak is as important as my formal training. I’m not just someone who will champion you, I’m a deeply committed ally who has been in your shoes and will help you come out the other side, too.
My Approach
Targeted support for people who are seeking better relationships. We zero in on what you most need help with. Sessions include a blend of practical relationship and/or dating guidance, therapeutic work, mindfulness training, and sisterly warmth. I developed an inquiry method over years of work with singles and combine it with a lifelong intuitive gift that gives me insights into hidden factors at play.
Step One: Clarify Your Vision
What do you most want?
We explore the traits, values and attributes you seek in a partner. Physical, mental, spiritual, family, economics, education, politics, deal-breakers, emotional temperament -- we cover it all.
Step Two: Identify Your Patterns
What are your blind spots?
We explore your relationship history to identify patterns, blind spots, lessons you don’t want to repeat, what worked, and skills that need development.
Step Three: Create a Plan
How do you move forward?
We discuss strategy, goals, and next steps. Do you need practical coaching with dating, deeper work, or a pause for more self-care?
“I feel like a flower that has been in a dormant state for years—now I’m basking in the sunlight of my friends, realizing how juicy I really am, open and blooming. When Judy the fashion advisor came by and helped me, I saw just how attractive I could be—that I had hidden in my overweight and sad clothes so not to be noticed and hurt more. She opened my eyes and FEELINGS for my beauty!”
I offer the following targeted support
Online dating profiles
One in three people meet each other online these days. Using my well-honed interview process I can help you target the dating services that are the best fit for you and create a profile that reflects you and your vision.
Match identification
Learn how to manage the pre-date and post-date interactions, including saying “no thanks” gracefully, if you’re not interested. I’ll walk you through finding potential partners from A-Z: identifying potential matches, getting their attention in a way that feels right to you, and setting up first dates.
Date Preparation
Prepare for dates so that you feel confident and authentic. Debrief afterwards with someone who gets you and is an expert in dating and relationships.
skill development and Practice
Push your edges and test your assumptions so that you optimize your opportunities to find a fulfilling relationship. Dating today isn't what it used to be. It takes willingness to try new behaviors.
Recalibration
Use your dating experiences to learn more about what you most want and your relationship patterns. As a somatic depth psychologist, I’m able to help you identify and work through your unconscious blocks.
