 Couples Counseling Today
    ...Courage, Compassion, Connection
If you are a couple contemplating marriage or a long term commitment, premarital or prewedding counseling is for you. I provide religion neutral and non-religious counseling. Research shows that taking the time to prepare for marriage or commitment can make a substantial difference in a relationship's quality, resilience, and longevity.

The transition to marriage can be a challenge for many couples. What are the differences between couples who succeed and couples who do not? Attending a few sessions with an experienced couples counselor can help you answer that question.

A few sessions of couples counseling can significantly ease the transition to the next step in your relationship. The skills acquired during the process can help your relationship weather the storms that inevitably occur. Couples attend individualized sessions, tailored to their needs and styles.
