Getting married is one of life’s biggest milestones—and while planning the wedding can be exciting, preparing for the marriage is even more important. Premarital counseling helps couples build a strong emotional foundation, explore key areas of compatibility, and develop the skills needed to create a healthy, lasting partnership.
As a therapist, I guide couples through thoughtful conversations and practical tools that promote connection, understanding, and shared vision. Whether you’re newly engaged or considering commitment, this is your chance to strengthen your relationship before saying “I do.”
Together, we’ll identify your strengths as a couple and address any blind spots—so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and connection.
Love is the beginning—intentional partnership is what makes it last. Let’s set you up for a thriving future, together.
I provide therapy in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Venice, Marina Del Rey, Culver City, Mar Vista, Playa Del Rey, West Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades, Palms, and Santa Monica.
