About Me

Connection with Intention is a dating and relationship coaching service in Portland, Oregon.

DATING PROFILE CONSULTING:
I utilize science-based information about online dating in order to support you in showing the best possible version of yourself, creating the best opportunity for higher quality, more compatible matches. I offer dating app photography, as well.

DATING COACHING:
Become a more confident and skilled dater. This may look like: support with messaging and communication, date planning, or date self-presentation; mock dates; learning about your attachment style and how this impacts your romantic relationships; practical advice for building self-love and confidence; and more.

RELATIONSHIP COACHING
I support partners in improving communication in the relationship so they can better understand each other and more fully meet each other's needs and desires. I also support couples with rebuilding relationships after infidelity and healthily navigating open/ethically non-monogamous relationships.

MY PHILOSOPHY:
You create the best opportunities for finding healthy, lasting romantic love when you nurture your inner self. Nurturing your inner self is about learning to fully accept yourself while simultaneously working toward positive personal change. Carl Rogers, the father of modern psychotherapy, said “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” When you intentionally strive to love yourself and become the best version of yourself, you will attract romantic partners who are doing the same.

Once a relationship begins, it must continuously be nurtured if it is to survive happily and healthily. A relationship has the best chance for survival when both partners perpetually seek a deeper understanding of their own needs and desires, as well as those of each other. These understandings lead to a more satisfying relationship when both partners apply them to their behavior though intentional communication and action.
