Pre-Marital
COUNSELING
HAVE the important conversations THAT WILL set your relationship up for success.
A SUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIP requires intention, care & honest conversations. This space is for couples who want to SOLIDIFY THEIR FOUNDATION AND explore topics that shape a long term partnership.
WHAT THIS WORK LOOKS LIKE
This is a space to open up the important conversations before stepping into a deeper commitment with a partner. In this process, we step into the main themes that show up for couples who are married or having long-lasting committed relationships.
I provide psycho-education about important concepts, and introduce the necessary language that will help you navigate these conversations successfully. During our work together, you will strengthen communication, understand each other more fully & build a shared vision that feels secure & grounded.
For some couples, this work is the foundation for couples therapy, as it will help identify the core themes during conflict, the relational patterns are areas of growth.
Core Themes We Explore
-
Every couple disagrees, what matters is how you come back after a fight. Conflict is a natural part of relationships, and when handled correctly, it is an opportunity for deeper connection.
We’ll explore how you and your partner manage conflict, and learn tools for healthy resolution and repair.
-
We explore communication patterns, habits and challenges. We look at how you express your needs and wants, how you listen to each other and how you show up for each other during a disagreement. Finally, we learn and practice skills for healthy communication.
-
We explore topics around emotional and sexual intimacy, what each partner needs to feel close, and how to keep connection alive in the long run. In this topic, we explore themes around shame as well.
-
Money can be one of the biggest stressors in a long-term partnership. We create space to discuss financial philosophies, goals and expectations in a supportive way.
-
Couples who want to have children, have the opportunity to discuss their common vision, the education they want to provide, childcare expectations and family roles.
-
Families of origin shape so much of how we show up. We look at inherited patterns, expectations and how to create healthy boundaries together.
-
We talk about meaning, purpose and the life you hope to build side-by-side.
We take the time to look at the values you live by and the aspirational values you have as a couple.
the 5 week plan
The 5 week plan includes 5 sessions for $555 - one session per week.
In this process, we move through the themes based on your needs. While there is a clear structure, the process is flexible so that we can focus on what feels most important for you. This process includes psycho-education and serves as an opportunity to identify the themes that might need more attention in your relationship.
What You Can Expect
This work is gentle, honest & collaborative. Each session is a space where both partners feel heard & respected. My intention is to help you understand one another more deeply, uncover the strengths already present in your relationship & address the areas that could benefit from clarity or support. Couples often leave with greater closeness & a deeper sense of partnership.
