Premarital Counseling Packages
Starting out on this journey, get the guide and tools you need.
Welcome! And congratulations! You’re beginning an exciting adventure!
I’d be honored to be part of your journey. I understand how time-intensive planning a wedding can be, so I commend your decision to spend energy now on the marriage that will follow.
Relationships take work. There are curves and road bumps to navigate whenever two individuals join their lives. In premarital counseling, we’ll work to lay the path that’s the most joy-filled and authentic for you. We'll learn and practice skills for effective communication and conflict resolution. We’ll also focus on the fun stuff: creating a healthy foundation, fostering fondness and admiration, and building deeper connection.
Research shows that participating in premarital counseling and education significantly strengthens your marriage.
Each of our packages begins with an assessment using the research-based assessment tool Prepare-Enrich. We’ll use the results to raise awareness about the strength and growth areas of your unique relationship. These include communication, conflict resolution, financial management, sexual expectations, family and friends, and others. The results will also shed light on aspects of your individual personalities and your families of origin.
During the first session we’ll go over the results of the assessment and spend time getting to know you and your goals for counseling. The second session will focus on communication and conflict resolution. During remaining sessions, we’ll explore other assessment areas, highlight what’s already going well, and identify and delve into areas that could use more understanding or negotiation.
We look forward to helping you prepare for a fulfilling marriage relationship!

“Make it your goal to create a marriage that feels like the safest place on earth.” -Gary Smalley
Carol Johnson, MAMFT
“I love working with couples and witnessing their connection deepen over the course of counseling. It’s really an honor to be invited into their inner worlds and help guide them to share more of themselves with each other–their thoughts, emotions, needs, and dreams. I am innately curious, compassionate, and focused on my clients’ strengths. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family outdoors, jogging, and reading.”
