Who taught you to be in a romantic relationship?
Did your parents sit down and teach you? Did you have a class in high school? Did your college have a bachelor’s degree in relationships? Did your first boss sit you down and say, “Let me tell you about marriage”?
Probably not.
You most likely learned how to be in a relationship by example –by watching your parents, your siblings, your friends, television and movies.
What if you could take a class, of sorts, that was all about just you and your fiancé? What if you could learn how to create a unified vision that will help strengthen your marriage past the day of saying, “I do”?
What if that class will help you, as a couple, identify and then learn to communicate your fears, your desires, your beliefs, your values, your dreams, your needs and better understand the baggage you are both dragging into your relationship?
Together, we will prepare you for the best marriage possible.
What to expect:
- Learn to strengthen your communication skills.
- Define role expectations.
- Learn skills for resolving conflicts.
- Further explore each other’s needs, wants and desires.
- Understand how each of your families of origin affected how you react or act in intimate relationships.
- Develop goals as a couple.
- Topics that are often covered include, but are not limited to finances, family planning, sex and intimacy,
The first step is a free phone consultation when we will talk about:
- What made you pick up the phone to call me. Why are you interested in premarital counseling?
- Are there specific topics you would like to explore in counseling?
- Any questions you might have about the premarital therapy process and my practice.
- What to do next.
How I help my clients:
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I am passionate about working with couples. In fact, that is all I do in my therapy practice. Why do I feel so passionately about my job? My partner and I have been together for 17 years, we have been to couples counseling and I know it works. Since 1998 my career, has in large part, been focused on crisis management and getting to the bottom of people’s unmet needs and communication gone wrong. This process is all about you and I will guide you through difficult conversations and telling the truth to one another. I will give you honest feedback and call you out when I see something can be done differently. I draw from a wide variety of therapeutic approaches and am in the process of completing Level One Gottman certification.
