Premarital Counseling

Build a strong, healthy foundation for your marriage

Congratulations, you’re engaged! Before you plan for your wedding, let’s plan for your marriage. While there’s so much excitement during this time, you may have also noticed increased stress levels, complicated family dynamics, or the chaos of wedding planning taking a toll. You may have even found yourself wanting to address ongoing issues or work on building healthy habits that will carry you through the years.

Online premarital therapy provides a safe space to openly talk through these topics and set yourselves up for a successful marriage. With my guidance, you’ll create a roadmap to a healthy and enduring relationship. Through in-depth, honest conversations, you’ll grow more connected, identify any problem areas or blind spots, and have big-picture conversations before tying the knot.
