Premarital and Pre-Commitment Counseling
Building a Strong Foundation for Your Future Together
There’s something really special about this season of a relationship.
When you’re choosing each other on purpose. Talking about the future. Dreaming about what life might look like side by side.
Whether you’re newly engaged, planning a wedding, or simply considering a deeper commitment, this moment is full of hope and possibility.
It’s also the perfect time to slow down and be intentional.
Premarital or pre-commitment counseling isn’t about fixing problems. It’s about strengthening what’s already good and building a solid foundation for the life you’re creating together.
Think of it as tending the roots, not waiting for cracks to show up later.
Why couples choose this work
Most couples don’t come to premarital counseling because something is wrong.
They come because they care.
They want to communicate well. Handle conflict with kindness. Understand each other deeply. And step into marriage or long-term commitment feeling connected and confident.
It’s a space to have the conversations that are easy to postpone when life gets busy. The meaningful ones about values, hopes, expectations, and the kind of partnership you want to create.
It’s also a place to learn how to navigate differences with respect and curiosity, so disagreements don’t feel threatening or overwhelming.
When you build these skills early, everything feels steadier later.
What we’ll explore together
Our sessions are collaborative and relaxed. We move at your pace and focus on what matters most to you as a couple.
We might talk about how you communicate and how you want to handle conflict when it inevitably shows up. We’ll explore your values, dreams, and goals for the future. We’ll look at how family backgrounds, money, intimacy, and life stressors shape your relationship.
Mostly, we’re creating space for honest, meaningful conversations that help you feel more aligned and more like a team.
Couples often say they leave feeling clearer, closer, and more secure with each other.
My approach
I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, and mindfulness based practices to help couples build strong emotional bonds and practical tools at the same time.
My style is warm, experiential, and down to earth. Therapy with me doesn’t feel clinical or formal. It feels like a safe place to talk openly, laugh a little, reflect deeply, and grow together.
I also bring my own lived experience into the room. After decades of partnership and family life, I understand both the beauty and the real world challenges of building a life with someone you love. That perspective helps me guide conversations with compassion and steadiness.
Creating a foundation you can trust
Couples who invest in this work often say they enter marriage or long-term commitment feeling more grounded, more connected, and more resilient.
Not because they’ve solved everything, but because they trust each other more deeply and know how to work through whatever comes their way.
And that confidence is a beautiful place to begin.
