Premarital Counseling in Texas & California
“The most functional way to regulate difficult emotions in love relationships is to share them.”
― Sue Johnson, Love Sense: The Revolutionary New Science of Romantic Relationships
Premarital counseling is one of my favorite areas of work, especially because I experienced the benefits firsthand in my own relationship. Marriage can be joyful, but it can also stir up anxiety, uncertainty, and unexpected challenges.
My goal is to help you and your partner feel grounded, clear, and deeply connected as you enter this next chapter. Together, we’ll build a foundation rooted in authenticity, open communication, and shared vision so you feel secure entering into your marriage.
My 8-Week Custom Premarital Program Includes:
Marriage Goals & Deal-Breakers: Clarify your long-term hopes, values & non-negotiables.
Expectations in Key Areas: Identify each partner’s emotional, intellectual, physical, sexual, and spiritual needs.
Communication Styles & Problem-Solving Skills: Learn how to navigate tension with mutual respect and empathy.
Family-Of-Origin Patterns & Traditions: Reflect on what you want to carry forward from your upbringing—and what you want to leave behind.
Love Languages & Enneagrams Types: Deepen understanding of how you each give and receive love, and your personality type
Money & Shared Finances: Begin healthy conversations about budgeting, saving, and spending as a team
Other Customized Topics: Every couple is unique—this process is tailored to what matters most to both of you. If you’d like to include a family planning / child-rearing session, or perhaps a family spirituality or career session - this will be tailored to your needs.
By the end of our work together, you’ll walk away with a clear roadmap and have a deeper understanding of your relationship dynamics, each other’s needs, and tools to support a resilient and fulfilling partnership. Whether you’re engaged, seriously dating, or considering a long-term commitment, let us support you on your journey!
