Premarital Counseling
PREPARE/ENRICH Certified

Engaged Couple
Would you like to have a deeper understanding of your partner and relationship? 

Do you think it is important to discuss many areas of your future together, such as finances, family backgrounds, and communication styles?

Would you feel better prepared if you prioritized relationship counseling, just as you work hard on wedding arrangements?

Have you been curious about how your partner thinks/feels about critical topics for your future and want a designated space and therapist to help you discuss these things? 

 

If you said YES to any of the above questions,
or have more you'd like to discuss...

PREPARE/ENRICH is a relationship assessment where the results are tailored to your unique background and relationship. It is a premarital journey involving taking an inventory and reviewing the results over a ~6-8 week timespan. 

​

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I will be able to help you discuss topics such as communication, parenting, and finances (among others) in a unique, specialized approach. My background, training, and relationship expertise will provide you with a rich, personal, and valuable experience.
