Our origin story

Turns out it was never just about dating.

What started as a podcast about dating evolved into conversations about communication, connection, and the skills that make every relationship stronger.

THERAPIST • FOUNDER • CO-HOST

I've spent more than 25 years helping people build stronger relationships through better communication, deeper self-awareness, and meaningful change. Over the years, I've worked with individuals and couples from all walks of life, and I've discovered something surprisingly simple: whether the struggle is dating, marriage, family, friendship, or work, the skills that create healthy relationships are remarkably similar.

That's what led to dateable()af. What began as conversations about dating quickly evolved into something much bigger. We realized we weren't just talking about dating. We were talking about communication, vulnerability, conflict, boundaries, emotional growth, and the patterns that shape every relationship we have.

As a therapist, I bring practical tools, clinical experience, and honest conversations to every episode. My hope is that each one leaves you with insights you can apply immediately to communicate more effectively, connect more deeply, and build stronger, healthier relationships in every area of your life.

RESEARCHER • CO-HOST

I've spent more than 30 years studying human behavior, relationships, and the patterns that shape how we connect with one another. What fuels me most is understanding why we do what we do and translating research into conversations that are practical, relatable, and genuinely useful.

I've experienced relationships from many different perspectives, and those experiences taught me that while every story is unique, the questions people wrestle with are remarkably similar. We all want to communicate more effectively, feel more understood, and build relationships that are healthier and more fulfilling.

On the podcast, I bring curiosity, research, and a love of asking the questions many people are already thinking. Alongside Sarah's clinical perspective, I help bridge the gap between research and real life so every episode feels grounded, engaging, and immediately applicable.

Whether we're talking about conflict, communication, vulnerability, or the messy realities of being human, my goal is simple: to help you better understand yourself, the people you care about, and the relationships that shape your life.

Now you know us. Come hang out.
