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.
