Does this sound familiar?

It’s Saturday night, you're laying on your couch finishing off a row of Oreos and mindlessly swiping through a sea of lackluster romantic candidates on Hinge. You’ve been doing this for months, with nothing to show but a few sad dates and dozens of online conversations that go nowhere. You start feeling resentful and tired of the dating scene.

But a few months pass and still nothing. With some hesitation, you download your apps again and start all over, hoping things will be different. Unsurprisingly, you’re met with the same BS you experienced a few months back. The cycle repeats itself because nothing has actually changed since you were last online.

You think to yourself, “What’s the point? I’d rather be single than spend another minute wasting my time on this stupid app.” In a moment of bravery, you delete all your apps and decide to search for love out in the wild.

This is the dating burnout cycle.

Fueled by toxic dating culture, dating burnout keeps you trapped, lonely, and exhausted. And when you’re burned out, you’re apathetic, unmotivated, and a little prickly about dating in general. Dating burnout means you’re not authentically engaged and connected to the dating process—which leads to feeling like you’re never going to find the love you deserve.

I’m here to save you from this madness by teaching you a more sustainable way to date.

“Ok, I’m listening! Tell me more.”

I’m a licensed relationship and sex therapist, nationally recognized dating expert, and woman who had to brave the online dating scene, just like you.

I was trapped in toxic dating culture for 4 years, until I hit my “rock bottom” moment while standing on the train platform at the Seattle airport (that’s a story for another day). I was emotionally depleted, angry and feeling hopeless about my romantic future. I knew something needed to change or else I’d be trapped in this cycle forever.
