Premarital Counseling

Build your marriage on a strong foundation before you say "I do."

Who this is for

You're engaged, or seriously considering it, and you want to walk into marriage with your eyes open, not just in love, but prepared. Premarital counseling is for couples who want to talk through the big questions now, whether that's blending families, navigating different backgrounds around money or faith, or simply wanting to know each other more deeply, instead of discovering the gaps later.

What we'll do together

We'll get clear on how you each communicate, handle conflict, and build the foundation for a life together: finances, family, intimacy, roles, and the pieces that help you co-create that life with intention and alignment. We'll also look at the patterns and cycles that shape how you connect and disagree, so you understand each other more deeply before you say "I do." Using the Gottman Method, we'll build real skills you'll use for the rest of your marriage, not just checklist conversations.

This is one of my favorite parts of the work I do. There's something powerful about doing this work before life's ups and downs arrive, so when they do, you already have the tools and the shared language to meet them together.
