Premarital Counseling
I am a trained premarital counselor and use the PREPARE/ENRICH program to assess couples who are engaged or thinking about engagement increase their skills across 12 relationship areas to build a stronger future together. The program can be tailored for same-sex couples, couples of diverse faiths, couples with children, and address cross-cultural issues. 
How it Works
Couples are assigned to take an initial online survey that is completed separately in about 30-45 minutes. There is a one-time fee to Prepare-Enrich of $35.00 payable on their website. The questions are intended to help couples identify the unique strengths already in their relationship and areas requiring growth, clarity, and significant communication. |

Couples work together with me in session and are provided workbooks to practice homework assignments outside of sessions to be completed together. Most couples require an average of 8-10 individual 60 minute sessions in order to complete the program. Highly conflicted couples may require additional sessions. A certificate of completion is provided at the end of the program.
