The premarital season is full of newness and anticipation- and that can often feel full of joy, love and excitement for what’s to come. Yet, we often don’t talk about the not-so-sexy realities that also come with premarital life - changing relationship expectations, integration of routines & values, and figuring out how to actually “do life together” for the long term.

I work with premarital couples who:

• Want support and insight for how to address conversations about difficult topics like finances, sex, in-laws, co-parenting/blending families, spirituality/faith, or relationship roles

• Have found that they are fighting with their partner more often or more intensely in this new season & feel like they might need more skills - but don’t know where to start

• Are experiencing the nuances of interracial or intercultural relationship but are having difficulty navigating conversations and conflicts as they arise

• Hold past experiences of hurt or trauma that make trust, conflict, or caring for each other’s needs feel complicated or difficult

As your premarital therapist, I will work with you to practice having hard conversations and build skills for conflict and communication. We will work together to dig in, get vulnerable, and create a strong foundation for your marriage from the start.
