Growing up just outside Philadelphia, the “City of Brotherly Love”, I've always loved helping people. As a kid, I wanted to be a doctor — until I met a model.  At age eighteen, my modeling agency got me an apartment in New York City. I was thrilled to be in the heart of America’s biggest singles scene! I studied acting (human behavior), moved to Los Angeles, back to New York, all the while putting my career first and breaking men's hearts. Until I had my heart broken and became obsessed with how to fix my relationships. After years of dating without becoming someone’s exclusive girlfriend, pining over a man I couldn’t have (at least not full-time), starring in a reality show about being single, hosting a talk show about relationships (dubbed "The Dating Expert"), and writing a magazine column, New York City started to call me “the real-life Carrie Bradshaw.” I finally learned how to enjoy being alone. I went to NYU, became a certified Life, Relationship, & Breakup Coach, and now I'm very good at helping others have better relationships — this is what I was meant to do.

In 2006, I enrolled at New York University to officially become a life coach. Clients frequently tell me I give them a unique perspective — a combination of practical hindsight, intelligence, and academic knowledge. It’s incredibly validating when they call to simply say, “You were right!” I can’t help but think, “It’s about time I got it right.” Three decades later, I feel I have earned the title of dating, relationship, and breakup expert. My favorite part is helping people make better choices than I did.
