Premarital Counseling
Building a strong foundation
Planning a wedding is an exciting journey, but preparing for a lifelong partnership is even more important. Premarital counseling offers couples the opportunity to build a strong foundation for their marriage, ensuring that your relationship is equipped to weather the inevitable ups and downs of life together.
My goal is to help you and your partner create a relationship grounded in love, mutual understanding, and shared values. In premarital counseling, I provide a supportive space for you to explore essential topics such as communication, conflict resolution, financial planning, intimacy, and the role of faith in your marriage.
By addressing these areas before you say "I do," you can enter your marriage with confidence, knowing that you and your partner are aligned on the key aspects of your life together.
I draw on my extensive training in the Gottman Method and PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy) to guide our sessions, offering practical tools and insights that will serve you well throughout your marriage.
The Gottman Method, rooted in decades of research, focuses on building a solid foundation of friendship, managing conflict constructively, and creating shared meaning in your relationship. These skills are crucial for any couple looking to thrive in their marriage.
PACT integrates neuroscience, attachment theory, and biology to help you understand how your early life experiences influence your interactions with your partner. By exploring these deeper dynamics, PACT can help you build a secure and resilient relationship from the very start.
I also integrate your spiritual beliefs into our sessions, ensuring that your faith is an integral part of the process. For couples who share a Christian worldview, this approach provides a meaningful framework for discussing important issues and making decisions together.
By weaving together evidence-based practices and your shared values, we can create a customized approach to premarital counseling that resonates with both of you. Starting your marriage with premarital counseling is a proactive step toward a fulfilling and lasting relationship.
