The Chemistry of Love – Love and the Brain

If I were to describe a situation in which someone experienced a flood of dopamine and ocytocin, a drop in serotonin, and spikes in adrenaline and norepinephrine, all those brain chemicals going crazy might make you assume this person was overdosing on some kind of highly addictive drug. You’d be right. The “drug” is called   [read more]

One in 7.6 Billion? The Truth about Soul Mates

The “soul mate” ideal harks back centuries. Anyone who has been deeply in love understands that feeling of inevitability that comes with an intense joining. There are two concepts that address this idealized form of love—soul mate and twin flame. Even if you have never seen the movie, Jerry Maguire, you are probably familiar with   [read more]

Self-Esteem and Self-Confidence PART I – How to Improve Self-Esteem

A dynamic, brilliant musician or actor exudes self-confidence on stage. A supremely gifted athlete seems innately imbued with confidence. And then we see one of these icons of self-assurance in the tabloids – in an abusive relationship or struggling with addiction. Does this seem paradoxical? Isn’t self-confidence the same thing as self-esteem… so how could   [read more]

Developing Self-Trust

“If you can’t trust me, who can you trust?” When I was growing up, that’s what our sketchy neighbor Mr. Dillard used to say all the time. Even as a kid I remember thinking, “I bet he doesn’t even trust himself.” I know I didn’t. A friend of mine made a really bad decision recently.   [read more]

Relationship with a Narcissist? Shut it Down (Here’s Why)

My client Tom had a sad story to tell me when we first met. He had been in a relationship with—he was firm on this point—the love of his life, when suddenly he was tossed aside.

Finding the Right Person—Four Truths

You’re not 20 anymore. You are long out of college and maybe long out of your last serious relationship.

What Clients Are Saying

I feel stronger and more confident than I did before.

Before I met Betty, I was lost. I was giving up on love and I have tried everything else but a Dating Coach. What have I got to lose? She is a lovely, down to earth person who wishes me the best always. I have learned a lot from her and I am still learning. She made me feel better about myself even though I am not at my best right now. I feel stronger and more confident than I did before. She is my safety net and I know she will help me through this long road I have ahead of me. She has taught me to understand what a relationship is and what it could be. – Karen M.

Betty Had Me Dating Within 2 Weeks

As a 59 year old nurse I spend my days caring for others. Then one day it hit me that I need to take care of myself and figure out how to get the relationship I hoped for. A friend referred me to Betty. I signed up right away and she had me dating within 2 weeks. It was the best investment in myself that I ever made. – Lori D., Canada
