Premarital Counseling in Austin
I believe the quality of our relationships shapes the quality of our lives. Preparing for your marriage isn't about eliminating conflict or guaranteeing a perfect future. It's about learning how to move through life's inevitable challenges as partners rather than opponents.
Prepare for the marriage, not just the wedding.
You've probably spent months thinking about the venue, the flowers, the guest list, and whether your cousin really needs a plus one.
But how much time have you spent preparing for the relationship you'll wake up to after the wedding?
Marriage isn't built on compatibility alone. It's built through thousands of conversations, moments of repair, shared laughter, difficult seasons, and choosing each other over and over again. Premarital counseling isn't about looking for problems. It's about creating the kind of relationship where you know how to face problems together.
That's exactly what we'll do.
Whether you're recently engaged or counting down the weeks until your wedding, my goal is to help you build a relationship that feels emotionally safe, deeply connected, and prepared for real life—not just the big day.
This isn't about checking a box.
Many couples come to premarital counseling because it's recommended by a pastor, a friend, or even required by their officiant.
I think it can be so much more than that.
At The Relationship Space, premarital counseling is an opportunity to slow down, get curious about one another, and have the conversations that often get pushed aside during wedding planning. Together, we'll explore not only what you think about important topics, but why. We'll uncover the stories, family experiences, expectations, and attachment patterns that each of you bring into the relationship.
There will be practical tools, plenty of learning, and yes, probably a few moments where one of you says, "I had no idea you felt that way."
Those moments are some of my favorite parts of this work.
The Relationship Space: In Between™
A signature premarital experience for the conversations that shape a marriage.
Marriage happens in the space between two people.
It's where misunderstandings happen. It's where vulnerability lives. It's where laughter, conflict, repair, intimacy, and everyday life all unfold.
In Between™ is an eight-session premarital experience designed to help you navigate that space with greater honesty, curiosity, and confidence.
Rather than giving you a checklist for the "perfect marriage," we'll build skills that help you stay connected when life gets messy—because eventually, it will. And that's okay.
The goal isn't perfection.
It's knowing how to find your way back to each other.
What’s Included
A Personalized Relationship Assessment
We begin with the Prepare/Enrich assessment, one of the most well-researched premarital assessments available. Rather than simply reviewing scores, we'll use your results to create a roadmap tailored specifically to your relationship.
Eight Personalized Sessions on Your Schedule
I integrate evidence-based approaches including Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Family Systems Theory, and the Prepare/Enrich framework throughout our work together.
Resources You'll Keep Long After the Wedding
You'll leave with practical tools you can continue using throughout your marriage, including personalized recommendations, conversation prompts, communication exercises, and relationship resources designed specifically for your strengths and growth areas.
A One-Year Marriage Check-In
Included in the program is a complimentary follow-up session during your first year of marriage to reconnect, celebrate what's going well, and work through any new challenges that naturally arise as you settle into married life.

Not Ready for the Full Experience Yet?
Start Here.
In Between™ is our signature eight-session experience, but we know not every couple is ready to dive into the deep end right away. These two options are a lower-commitment way to get a taste of the work — and if you decide you want to go further, what you've already invested carries forward.
-
A single session to get curious together.
$200
Sometimes you don't need eight sessions to know you're on the right track — you just need one honest conversation, guided well.
The Starting Point pairs the Prepare/Enrich Assessment with a single 50-minute session, so you can see what this work actually feels like before committing to more. We'll walk through your results together, name a few of the patterns and strengths already showing up in your relationship, and send you home with practical tools you can start using right away.
Includes:
Prepare/Enrich Assessment
One 50-minute session
A complimentary digital relationship toolkit

For couples who want more than a single conversation but aren't ready for the full eight-session journey, The Foundation gives you room to actually dig in — without the full commitment.
We'll start with your Prepare/Enrich Assessment and spend four sessions working through the areas that matter most to your relationship, drawing from the same Gottman Method, EFT, and Family Systems approaches used throughout In Between™. You'll leave with a toolkit built specifically around your results, not a generic handout.
