We're getting married!
Invest the marriage, Not just the wedding.
Most couples spend hundreds of hours planning for their wedding day—the venue, the guest list, the perfect menu. But the wedding is only the first day of a lifelong journey.
Premarital counseling is the process of planning for the marriage. It is a proactive investment in your future, designed to help you navigate the complexities of partnership with intentionality, clarity, and shared purpose.
My Approach: Data-Driven and Relationship-Focused.
I believe that every couple is unique. To ensure our work is targeted and effective, I utilize the Prepare/Enrich assessment at the very beginning of our journey.
Prepare/Enrich is the gold standard in premarital work. It is a comprehensive online assessment that identifies your unique strengths as a couple and highlights the specific growth areas that need our attention.
How it works:
The Assessment: You and your partner each complete a customized online questionnaire.
The Reveal: We review a detailed report that benchmarks your relationship across categories like communication styles, financial expectations, family dynamics, and spiritual beliefs.
The Work: Using these insights, we bypass the "small talk" and dive straight into the topics that matter most to your specific relationship.
What will we explore together?
While my sessions are tailored to your Prepare/Enrich results, we typically focus on the "pillars" of a resilient marriage:
-
Communication & Conflict Resolution: Learning how to seek alignment and ensure both partners feel heard and respected.
-
Financial Alignment: Bridging different perspectives on spending, saving, and long-term financial goals.
-
Role Expectations: Navigating the "unspoken rules" of household labor, careers, and family life.
-
Intimacy & Connection: Maintaining emotional and physical closeness through the different seasons of life.
-
Family of Origin: Understanding how your upbringing shapes your current relationship patterns.
Why choose premarital counseling now?
Whether you are currently in a "honeymoon phase" or navigating the stressors of wedding planning, taking the time to align your visions now prevents predictable friction later.
As someone who works across Individual Counseling and Executive Coaching, I bring a unique lens to premarital work. I view a marriage as a high-stakes partnership that requires the same strategic alignment as a business, but with the deep emotional resonance of a soul-level connection.
