Are you the “single friend”? Do you often feel left out at couples gatherings or wonder if being single means something is wrong with you? Maybe you’ve grown tired of hearing, “You’re such a catch,” while still feeling misunderstood, dismissed, or unseen by partnered friends and family.

Being single in your 30s or 40s can bring up complicated emotions — loneliness, freedom, anxiety, grief, hope, and even shame. Society often sends the message that your worth is tied to your relationship status, even when you know deep down that your identity is so much bigger than whether or not you’re partnered.

Many single adults struggle with feeling behind in life, unseen by others, or pressured to follow a traditional timeline. Others genuinely enjoy their independence but still experience isolation or uncertainty about the future. No matter where you are in your journey, your experience deserves support, validation, and care.

I help single and un-partnered women navigate the emotional realities of dating, relationships, breakups, and building a fulfilling life on their own terms. Together, we can process the anxiety, grief, liberation, anticipation, and joy that can come with being single.

Therapy can support you if you are:

• Feeling discouraged or burned out by dating

• Recovering from a breakup or situationship

• Struggling with loneliness or comparison

• Navigating questions around marriage, partnership, or having children

• Processing societal or family pressure around being single

• Wanting healthier dating patterns and relationships

• Understanding attachment style and how this relates to dating patterns

• Looking for a safe, nonjudgmental place to feel understood

You do not need to justify your relationship status to deserve support. Whether you are happily single, actively dating, healing from heartbreak, or unsure what you want next, therapy can help you feel more grounded, empowered, and connected to yourself.
