About Sobeyda

I have a team of excellent premarital therapists. We work with couples up until the wedding day. We use relationship inventories, attachment quiz, workbooks, worksheets, etc. And tailor our approach to their growth areas and expressed needs. We equip couples with practical tools to cultivate trust, intimacy, collaboration and expression of care. Couples can expect greater capacity for honest, deeper and skills to navigate conflict, to self regulate, to cultivate greater safety and security in their marriage.

We work with young professional couples, biracial/multicultural couples, christian couples, blended family couples.
