Dating Coaching with Karen

History

As an Occupational Therapist, I have been coaching clients in the area of dating and sexuality since 2004 when I worked at the University of Southern California. I received my doctorate specializing in the area of Lifestyle Redesign and wellness coaching. In 2012 I moved to Ireland to teach at a university. After successfully landing myself an Irish husband in 2013 I launched my private practice in Dating Coaching. I moved to the Bay area in 2016 to work as a professor at Dominican University. I am also finishing up a qualitative research study on the experience of dating for young Irish women.

Specialties

I offer a wide range of services for men and women, such as dating advice and strategies, personal coaching (face to face, by phone or by Skype) and small group seminars. One-on-one coaching can involve counseling and in-the-field coaching (girls night out), which could include practicing flirting and striking up conversations with men/ women. Coaching is distinct from matchmakers because we coach people on finding their own dates whereas matchmakers arrange dates for their clients. Coaches are also not relationship or psychological counselors. I also specialize in helping with online dating. This could include helping you rewrite your online dating profile(s!) to obtain better results, initiate successful email conversations, reflect your best version of you, and get to the date you want! *All sessions are private and strictly confidential. A confidentiality agreement will be signed before sessions commence to ensure privacy.
