Mission
Josie Dating and Relationship Services helps clients grow into confident, grounded, and relationally capable partners by providing personalized dating and relational skills coaching. From the very first session, clients receive tailored guidance rooted in a clear understanding of their goals, strengths, and developmental needs. Complimentary baseline assessments establishes this foundation, after which a scaffolded and evolving client plan is created. Through structured assignments, targeted activities, and ongoing insight, clients steadily build relational competence and deepen their self-understanding—ultimately equipping them for meaningful, successful connection.
Vision
True connection with others happens first from within. We must first understand who we are and build a sense of home within ourselves before others can join us there. I hope to inspire clients to see dating and relationships as one part of a larger journey of self-exploration, rather than the destination itself. When we approach life in this way, we cultivate a grounded inner world—and naturally attract the relationships that are aligned with who we truly are.
Orientation
My graduate studies in Master’s in Social Work (MSW), current clinical internship, and prior direct service work with clients from youth to adult; directly informs my work as a dating coach. I draw on evidence-based frameworks from psychotherapy—such as attachment theory, trauma-informed care, and cognitive-behavioral approaches—to understand why patterns in dating and relationships show up the way they do, not just what to change on the surface. This allows me to offer coaching that actually identifies patterns in behavior, is emotionally safe, psychologically grounded, and highly individualized. You can try me out as a Clinical Intern at A Healing Path Counseling, $30/session for lower-acuity/mild symptoms (e.g., stress, everyday worries, grief, low self-esteem) that aren't dangerous or life-threatening. However, please note that I cannot provide dating coach services in lieu of therapy. I work with youth, families and individuals. https://www.ahealingpathcounseling.com/meetjo
About Me
%2C%20INFJ%20(Myers-Briggs%20Personality%20Type)%2C%20Can.png)
Hi, I’m Josie. I’m a HSP (Highly Sensitive Person), INFJ (Myers-Briggs Personality Type), Cancer sun and Cancer rising horoscope (double the fun). I came to dating coaching through a period of deep self-examination, where I realized that everything I’ve been through— and worked my way out of—are learned lessons that could now serve others who are struggling in similar ways I have. I know firsthand what it is to be self-destructive in relationships, or to struggle to connect with others and yourself; these are not flaws specific to a person, but very human responses that most of us experience at some point in our lives. I also know that honest self-confrontation is one of the hardest things we ever do, particularly when our sense of self-worth is shaky or undeveloped.
We live in a time of endless content on self-improvement, leveling-up, dating, etc. What’s often missing is a focused, grounded presence that helps you make sense of your story and turn insight into change. My role as a coach is to provide that presence and that vision: to reflect your needs and strengths back to you clearly, help you structure your time of self-exploration to be effective, and support you in practicing new ways of relating. Let's work together-
