Dating in NYC

Dating in New York has its own unique energy—fast, crowded, and at times overwhelming. Between apps, ghosting, and the constant swirl of options, it’s easy to feel anxious, second-guess yourself, or wonder if you’ll ever find something that actually sticks.

Therapy can give you a place to pause and make sense of it all. Together we can:

• Spot your patterns — noticing who you’re drawn to, how anxiety shows up in your dating life (like overthinking texts or worrying about being “too much”), and why the same dynamics might keep repeating.

• Manage the stress and nerves — learning ways to ground yourself when your mind is racing, calm the urge to overanalyze, and bring more ease and presence into the process.

• Build confidence and boundaries — strengthening your sense of self so you feel more secure, can communicate your needs clearly, and don’t get lost in trying to please others.

• Get clear on what you actually want — moving away from chasing what you think you should want, and instead tuning into the qualities and values that matter most to you.

• Shift out of scarcity mode — letting go of the pressure that there’s never “enough” good people out there, and learning how to show up in dating from a grounded, self-compassionate place.

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you so you’re better at dating. It’s about helping you feel more confident, intentional, and supported—so that whether you’re single, dating, or in a relationship, you feel less stuck and more like yourself.
