Premarital Counseling

The best investment you can make before your wedding isn't the venue or the flowers. It's understanding each other - deeply, honestly, and with real tools for the road ahead. Premarital counseling doesn't mean something is wrong. It means you're taking seriously that building a great marriage requires more than love - it requires skill, self-awareness, and honest conversations that most engaged couples never get around to having. Research consistently shows that couples who do premarital counseling have significantly lower divorce rates and higher marital satisfaction. This is one of the most practical things you can do for your future. 

SYMBIS - Save Your Marriage Before It Starts - is one of the most widely used and research-backed premarital assessment tools available. Developed by Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott, it has helped over a million couples worldwide build stronger foundations. As a certified SYMBIS facilitator, I use this assessment as a launching pad for our sessions together - giving your counseling a personalized, data-informed foundation rather than a generic curriculum. Sessions go beyond the assessment to give you and your partner skills and insight you'll carry into your marriage for years. We will cover things like: communication patterns, conflict and repair, intimacy and connection, money and life goals, family and in-laws, faith and values, children and parenting, as well as individual growth
