Premarital Therapy is one of the most important investments you can make in your relationship.

Imagine decreasing your risk of divorce and increasing your relationship satisfaction.

I’ll help through this process, tailoring each step to your unique needs and circumstances.

My approach to prepping you for marriage uses the PREPARE/ENRICH assessment to evaluate vulnerabilities in your relationship.

  • This makes sure you get the best premarital counseling as you will take an online assessment to cover various areas of your relationship.

  • You’ll get to view your results of the assessment and take action on areas that need improving within each session together as well as celebrate your strengths as a couple.

Wedding stress and cold feet don’t have to be your story.

Premarital Counseling Frequently Asked Questions

  • After taking your relationship assessments, your therapist will review the feedback with you regarding both strengths and vulnerabilities in your relationship.

    Generally speaking, you’ll spend between 8-16 sessions with your premarital counselor to discuss any issues to best prepare you for a happy marriage.

    Some couples may do weekly hour-long sessions for a number of weeks weeks. Others may do intensive longer sessions over a shorter period of time. The longer sessions are highly recommended for couples wanting to jumpstart their relationship with faster results.

  • ASAP! It’s never too early because if you start as soon as you notice any problems within your relationship, you can nip it in the bud. Start pre marriage counseling a few months before the big day so you can tackle everything you need before the big day.

  • If you’re getting married by a religious figure, they may handle your premarital counseling. If your officiant doesn’t also do premarital counseling, you can choose to work with a relationship expert that fits your needs.

    For instance, if you don’t lean on the religious side, you can find a secular counselor, one related to your own culture or race, or an LGBTQ+ affirming premarital counselor.
