I have advanced training as a certified premarital counselor and use  the PREPARE/ENRICH program to assess couples and help them increase their skills across 12 relationship areas. The program can be tailored for same-sex couples, couples of diverse faiths, couples with children or blended families, and address cross-cultural issues. PREPARE/ENRICH is shown in research to reduce the chances of divorce by 30 percent.
​




​"PREPARE/ENRICH tailors itself not only to the unique stage and structure of each couple's relationship, but also the larger cultural context in which they live. 
​

​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.
