Hello.

I'm kristine anthis, PhD, the Founder of IFS Dating & Matchmaking.

As a certified matchmaker with clinical training in couples therapy, I bring a level of psychological insight to matchmaking that most people seeking a partner simply don't have the professional training to apply on their own.

My work is for high-achieving singles who want to better notice the parts of themselves before, during, and after dating — as well as into new relationships.

Beyond my PhD

I'm a Certified Matchmaker, IFS Institute trained in Internal Family Systems Therapy Levels 1, 2, & 3, in Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO) Couples Therapy, and in Nonviolent Communication (NVC).

My Story

After helping so many disconnected and conflicted clients via IFS and IFIO Couples Therapy, I began to wonder how I could avert such from the beginning of couples’ lives.

I founded IFS Dating & Matchmaking to help people prevent future relationship struggles — and the painful consequences of such on their emotional well-being, their finances, their health, their families, their communities, etc.

Who I am

I am a mother, lesbian, and artist. Outside of helping others, I'm fond of being with family and friends, foraging for black licorice, and devouring detective novels.
