Marriage Prep
Marriage is a game changer.
Are you ready?
If talk of high divorce rates (understandably) freaks you out a little, there's some good news. Couples who participate in high-quality, skills-based premarital counseling can actually reduce their divorce risk by up to 30%!
With convenient Zoom coaching sessions, you can participate in marriage prep from the comfort of your home - in pajama pants or with your cat in hand if you want.
You’ll learn practical, proven relationship tools, complete targeted exercises, and have guided discussions with your partner.
You'll walk away with new insights and approaches to strengthen your relationship right away. Plus, couples report feeling more connected, aligned, and confident after we work together!
Marriage Prep. Made Fun!
I blend science-backed skills with humor and straight talk so you get a lot of information in a laid-back, comfortable setting. And I love to laugh, so we do plenty of that, too.
I received The Knot's "Best of Weddings" award for premarital counseling four times and was inducted into the "Best of Weddings" Hall of Fame - all thanks to generous reviews from awesome couples.

Couple Inventory: To start, you and your partner will complete an online inventory which gives me a snapshot of your relationship in a variety of areas. After reviewing your responses, I tailor a strategy for our sessions so we make sure to cover the concepts and skills that will be most helpful and relevant to you during our time together.
Scheduling: Some daytime, weeknight, and weekend options available. The program is broken into 4, 2-hour sessions (typically one session per week for a month).
Investment: A non-refundable deposit of $50 is required to reserve your dates/times and order your couple inventory (the deposit is credited toward your final session fee). Payments are accepted via PayPal prior to each session.
- 8-hour program: discounted rate of $135/hour (cost of couple inventory included).
- Engaged Texas couples who complete 8 hours also receive a $60 marriage license discount (valid for one year)!
