Premarital & Marital Services

Professional Confidential Services Based in Relationship Science—that protect, strengthen and nurture your marriage bond

More than ever in human history the quality of your emotional connection with your spouse determines the quality of your life.

Benefits of a Marriage Assessment

What gets measured gets managed—A comprehensive Marriage Assessment offers a clear, evidence-based look at the health and quality of your relationship.

It helps you understand what’s working, what’s missing, and where to focus your energy. Just like going to the doctor for your annual physical, a regular relationship checkup prevents deeper issues down the line and ensures your marriage is functioning optimally.

When your marriage is strong, you tackle life as a team. This loving spirit of collaboration helps you navigate all of life’s challenges with more grace, ease and effectiveness.

Premarital Consulting

Couples who participate in premarital counseling or marriage‐preparation programs have about a 31% lower chance of divorce compared to those who don’t.

Congratulations on your engagement!!

Marriage is a profound transformation from Me to We —you’ve taken the first leap of faith in this journey.

I’d love to help you with the next small step. 

What to Expect

My Premarital Consulting Series is grounded in decades of relationship research, drawing from the Gottman Institute, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and leading Attachment Theory scholars.

I work closely with engaged couples to ensure they are creating a strong, aligned foundation for a lifetime of love.

This program is not only dedicated to the health and happiness of your marriage, but also equips you with the skills to create intergenerational marital wellbeing—so that your children and grandchildren can benefit from the foundation you build today.

Premarital consulting begins with understanding the invisible guiding principles within your marriage: your values. Through a guided values discovery and comparison process, we get crystal clear on how to honor the values system within the marriage.

Through structured guided exercises, couples discuss roles, responsibilities and expectations, communication skills, conflict styles, and how to nurture trust.

Marital Consulting

The Harvard Study of Adult Development—one of the longest-running studies on human wellbeing—identified a healthy marriage as the single most important factor for health and longevity.
