Frequently Asked Questions

Do you use relationship assessments?

Yes, I use the PREPARE/ENRICH assessment. It identifies your strengths and improvements area as a couple. It provides great discussion topics.

Do you offer online sessions?

Yes, I offer sessions via Zoom. Online sessions work just as well as in- person.

How many sessions do couples typically need?

Most couples complete 6 -8 sessions over 2-3 months. We can customize sessions based on your timeline and needs.

How far in advance of the wedding should we start?

Ideally 3 to 6 months before your wedding. This gives us time to work through topics without rushing. I can accommodate more or shorter time timeline.

What's your cancellation policy?

I require 24 hour notice to cancel or reschedule. Last minute cancellation may be charged 50% of session fee.

Is everything we discuss confidential?

Yes, everything is confidential unless there is a risk of harm.

Do you meet with us together or separately?

Almost, always I meet with you together. Occasionally, I might meet with you individually if it addresses a specific issue.
