My work with engaged (or almost-engaged) couples is short-term, and focused on helping you identify and resolve issues that might be obscured. You will explore issues such as attitudes about finances, sexuality, family, expectations, values, and
work. These sessions will help you both understand possible trigger points for future conflict and how to mitigate potential future conflict in a goal-oriented and caring manner. Though you already know your partner well, I take a neutral
perspective and can see the strengths and challenges of your relationship in a unique way. This perspective allows me to provide feedback and teach you skills that will enhance your interactions for many years to come. Premarital counseling gives
you the skills needed to learn more about your partner and proactively create a plan for a sustainable relationship.
