Build a Strong Foundation 

You’re planning a wedding—but let’s plan for the marriage, too. Premarital counseling is your chance to set the stage for a thriving, connected, and joyful relationship. Together, we’ll uncover your strengths, spot the tricky stuff before it gets truly difficult, and learn the tools to grow together through it all.

You and your fiancée will complete the Gottman Relationship Checkup—an online assessment crafted by the celebrated (and science-backed) Gottman Institute. It’s a smart way to peek under the hood of your relationship and highlight what’s working and what needs a tune up.

Your first session is a get-to-know-you experience where I’ll learn more about both of you. I might ask you to replay a classic argument (the kind you’ve probably had on repeat), not to start drama—but because it gives us quick insight into the patterns we can work on. We’ll also explore the role of sex and intimacy in your relationship. Yep, we’re going there—because it matters.

Premarital sessions typically range from 6 to 10, and we can absolutely add more if needed. Topics we’ll explore include:

• Getting fluent in each other’s inner worlds – including expectations, cultural differences, dreams, and goals.
• Healthy Communication – Learn to argue well (yes, it’s a thing).
• Create Shared Meaning – Craft rituals, traditions, and a story that’s uniquely yours. Explore the family patterns you want to keep, or toss.
• Solve Problems – Master the art of compromise and work through those recurring disagreements.
• Fondness & Admiration – Keep the good vibes flowing, even when life gets messy. One small action at a time.
• Turn Toward Each Other – Recognize the small moments of connection that make the biggest difference.

Cost: $175 per session (up to 75 minutes). Sliding scale available—because planning a wedding isn’t cheap.
