I am a former Matchmaker, and Certified NLP and Life Coach- shorthand, I'm a Dating Burnout Coach. My coaching focus is Asian-American daters and divorced or single parent daters, though I can work with people in all stages of singlehood and dating.

In the past 30 years I have dated, been in serious relationships, cohabitated, relocated across country for a partner (and back again), been married, become a parent, been divorced without any resources available to me except my own force of will, been dating as a single parent while going back to college and restarting my career, before finding my ideal partner, who is nothing like I would have imagined 10 years ago, and yet, magically, exactly as I would have imagined 30 years ago. I've made a lot of mistakes and learned even more, and coached clients through similar transitions to minimize their mistakes and maximize their learnings.
