Your Coach & Guide

Where therapy
meets real love.

I'm an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, event planner, and dating coach based in Southern California. I created The Date Better Guide because I saw too many incredible people struggling to find genuine connection β€” not because they weren't lovable, but because nobody had taught them how to date well.

My clinical background in relationship therapy combined with my hands-on event planning experience gives me a one-of-a-kind lens: I understand the psychology of attraction, attachment, and self-worth β€” and I know how to create spaces where sparks actually fly.

Credentials & Training

  • Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT), State Licensed
  • Graduate degree in Marriage, Family & Child Counseling
  • Certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
  • Trained in Attachment-Based approaches to relationships
  • Bowen Family Systems Theory β€” advanced training
  • Certified Event Planner with 5+ years producing dating events
