Pre-Marital Counseling comes in.
The purpose of Pre-Marital Counseling is to create a safe space for you and your partner to talk, gain skills, as well as establish a partnership where you both feel seen, honored, heard, and valued.
It’s a bonding experience that not only develops better understanding, but enables you to listen, support, and negotiate with each other in a positive and productive way. There’s always room to learn more about ourselves and our partners and doing pre-marital counseling shows a willingness to improve, develop, and commit to each other.
As a relationship therapist trained in Prepare/Enrich and the Gottman Method, I offer customized Pre-Marital Counseling packages that help you build a solid foundation for a powerful, fulfilling, and intimate life-long relationship together.

Why Pre-Marital Counseling?
The engagement phase can often feel like a whirlwind of love and serotonin, but it can also be a stressful and testing time for many. Pre-Marital Counseling can help to navigate some of these stressors, ease anxiety, and ensure you as a couple are both feeling calm and confident on your special day.
Even if you’re thinking, “but we’re so in love! We never argue. Won’t counseling before the wedding only create problems that aren’t there?”
It’s totally natural to worry that opening up sensitive conversations will sour the happy engagement period. But rest assured, sorting out the big questions about what a committed life together will look like past the wedding day, can lead to some of the most intimate moments - bringing you even closer during this exciting time.
In fact, using counseling when a relationship is feeling good is actually the best thing you can do to future-proof it. When you’re feeling strong and secure as a couple, there’s a higher tolerance and capacity to explore any challenges you may have. It’s an opportunity to confidently approach delicate topics together (finances, religion, family-of-origin issues, children, intimacy... oh & in-laws) and prepare yourselves for anything life may throw at you.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
You will start off with a thorough 60-minute intake that is focused on exploring your story as a couple, as well as your strengths and any areas of challenges.
After the first session, each of you will complete a thorough online questionnaire, (followed by two 50-minute individual appointments, if you selected the Forever and Always Package).
In the follow-up sessions, we will review any pre-marital assessment you completed, and collaborate on future topic areas that we will dive deeper into as we move forward.
During your customized sessions, we will focus on one area of your relationship - which may include discussion, techniques, activity together in session, and possibly homework assigned.
