My Personal Journey
Helping You Find Love That's Real—
Because I've Been There, Too
I'm Danté Yigael, a Dating and Couples Coach based in Houston. What you might not know is that my passion for helping others find love stems from my own struggles with dating and a painful failed marriage.
​
For years, I felt lost, confused, and hopeless—until I finally sought professional help. That's when everything changed.
I discovered the power of vulnerability, the importance of self-compassion, and the transformative magic of building a life aligned with your values.
Now, with over 20 years of experience, I'm dedicated to guiding individuals and couples just like you on a journey to lasting love and connection.
What I Help You Achieve:
Confidently Navigate the Dating World Craft a profile that attracts the right attention, master authentic conversation, and ditch dead-end dates for good.
Build a Rock-Solid Relationship Foundation Communicate with clarity, resolve conflicts with empathy, and create a relationship built on trust, respect, and unwavering support.
Reignite the Spark and Unleash Your Intimate Potential Explore your desires without shame, communicate your needs with confidence, and create a life filled with pleasure, passion, and connection.
Live with Greater Joy, Authenticity, and Purpose Discover your unique gifts, create a life aligned with your values, and experience the joy of living as your true self.
I offer both online and in-person sessions to residents of Texas. Let's connect today and rewrite your love story.

Beyond the Office:
A Glimpse Into Our World
So, what do a couples coach and therapist do when they're not helping people create amazing lives?
Picture this:
It's a Friday night in Houston. Rebekah's putting together a legendary playlist (she's a music aficionado), while Danté is whipping up a tasty dish in the kitchen. Maybe later, we'll catch up on a show like "The Bear" or "Succession," or just cuddle up with our Cavapoo, Smokey, and dive into a good book.
On the weekends, you might find us biking along Buffalo Bayou, soaking up the sun at the pool, or getting our zen on at a community yoga class. We also love escaping the city for a bit of hiking in the national forests and state parks or enjoying an occasional wine tasting with friends. And come October, you can bet we'll be at the Texas Renaissance Festival, embracing our playful side.
Helping you thrive is our passion, but life outside of HVL Connect is just as important!
​
We love swapping recommendations and connecting with our clients on a personal level, so tell us—what are you loving lately?
