Premarital Counseling

Don't just plan for the wedding, plan for the marriage. 

Relationship counseling doesn’t need to begin only when there's persistent conflict, disconnection, or loss of intimacy or trust. Dating and engaged couples can invest in the health and satisfaction of their marriage before they walk down the aisle through premarital counseling. 

As a certified Prepare/Enrich premarital and marriage counselor, I help couples explore their strength and growth areas and learn crucial relationship skills that will keep their relationship strong. Couples will develop a better and more loving understanding of each other, including their unique differences, and strengthen their bond through discussion around the following topic areas: 

  • Communication skills 

  • Conflict resolution 

  • Personal stress 

  • Sexual expectations 

  • Marriage expectations 

  • Relationship roles and household responsibilities  

  • Financial management and priorities  

  • Spiritual/religious beliefs 

  • Cultural expectations 

  • Leisure activities 

  • Routines/habits 

I am also registered with Twogether in Texas as a Texas Healthy Marriage Service Provider, which allows me to offer you a certificate of completion* to receive $60 off your Texas marriage license fee and waive the 72-hour waiting period at the county clerk's office.  

Your investment in your future marriage includes: 

  • Premarital online assessment for you and your partner to complete prior to the first session 

  • Two workbooks with 25 skill-building exercises**  

  • Eight premarital sessions (50-minutes each) 

  • Certificate of completion to serve as proof at the county clerk's office*

I aim to give you a premarital counseling experience that is both necessarily eyeopening and surprisingly fun!

**Couples workbooks offered in Standard, Biblical References, and Catholic versions.
