Premarital establishes communication that builds a strong foundation.

What does premarital therapy look like?

You will complete an assessment that gives you a snapshot of your strengths and growth areas as a couple (this is not pass or fail!). After completing the assessment, sessions will include a review and discussion of the results. I guide sessions to establish communication on important topics for premarital couples. I will also teach relationship skills.

How long does premarital take?

As a clinician, I believe in personalized treatment which means that the timeline for each couple might vary. Premarital therapy can be completed in as little as 4-6 sessions.

Is premarital for us?

All engaged couples can benefit from therapy even before there are any issues in the relationship. Therapy at this stage will help you reinforce and deepen your ability to be attuned to one another and establish a space to explore areas for growth when challenges arise in the future. Communication regarding expectations, roles, finances and dreams for the relationship can create a strong foundation.
