How I Can Help

Stop overthinking and get an objective third-party perspective on:

  • Friendship Drifting: Deciphering silence or one-sided dynamics.

  • Conflict & Transitions: Knowing when to walk away or how to handle a "toxic" friend.

  • New Connections: Strategies for making friends during life changes.

  • Reality Checks: An honest look at whether you’re being unreasonable.

The FAQs

  • Is it really free? Yes! No catch. I do this because hearing your real-life stories helps me be a better researcher and writer.

  • Is it private? Completely. Our conversation is confidential, and I don't save your data.

  • How can I thank you? If the advice helps, I’d love for you to buy Modern Friendship or leave a review on Amazon or Goodreads.

Ready? Leave your message at (646) 847-9718 and let’s figure this out.
