Future-proofing your relationship
No matter what a big commitment looks like to you, it’s important to equip your relationship with the tools you need to sustain it for a committed future.

It's a common misconception (and easy to get confused with the name!) that marriage has to be the immediate next step to seek out premarital therapy. Actually, premarital counseling and therapy isn’t reserved for couples that are getting married in the next three months, it’s for any couple moving into a new level of commitment.
Premarital therapy is about proactively building a strong foundation before major issues arise. It’s less about “fixing problems” and more about learning how to communicate, connect, and support each other
Relationships that are prepared for sticky situations are that much more likely to move smoothly through them. With some foresight into what issues may arise and the communication skills it will take to work through them, I'll help you be prepared for a long, healthy, and happy future together.
Moving forward, together

When you think about premarital therapy, you may think of some standard questions we might work through (think: the classic, "do you want kids?").
We’ll cover the important topics— understanding commitment, setting life goals, communication, money, sex, family dynamics, boundaries, expectations, lifestyle, decision-making, family planning, gender roles, household responsibilities, conflict resolution, shared values, spiritual beliefs, emotional safety—before they turn into landmines.
You may even have some of your own questions. Not only will I help you work through those, but also I will bring my own knowledge of what kinds of things you haven't even thought of, to deepen your emotional connection with your partner and empower you as a couple to have these kinds of conversations in a productive, meaningful, and connected way moving forward. You can't possibly be prepared for everything that might go awry, but we can work together so that you as a couple are ready to handle these issues when they come up.
Beyond the standard

more about me
Premarital therapy is one of my favorite ways to work with couples. You’re building something big—something beautiful—and I love helping partners slow down, get honest, and create the kind of connection that actually lasts.
Let’s be real: no one ever taught us how to be in a relationship. Most of us are winging it with what we absorbed growing up. Premarital therapy slows that down. It gives you tools. It gives you perspective. And it gives you language for the things you feel, but maybe haven’t known how to say.
Some of what I use comes from attachment theory, somatic work, and family systems—because let’s face it, your nervous system and your upbringing are definitely in the room, even if your in-laws aren’t. Other sessions might pull from more structured frameworks, like the Gottman Method or newer models that blend differentiation and connection.
But the real power is in what happens between you two. My job is to help you hear each other better—and be heard in return. Not because it’s cute. Because it’s how long-term relationships survive.
Who I am.
