BEGINNINGS

Creating Sacred Space for Modern Love

They say you don’t marry the person you can live with, you marry the person you can’t live without.

  • Those seeking spiritual connection without religious doctrine

Get clear on your shared vision and build the communication skills that last a lifetime.

  • Wonderful! Most couples are as happy as they have ever been when they are planning their wedding (let’s hope so!)

    But every couple can benefit from taking an honest look at their relationship, communication styles, and desires for a lasting partnership. However, not everyone wants (or needs) therapy to do it. That’s where Premarital Counseling is different - it’s not therapy!

    Research shows that couples who do Premarital Counseling have a 30% higher success rate in avoiding divorce. They also report feeling happier and more satisfied in their marriage! (win win!)

  • No problem! The program typically takes 4 weeks, but I offer a one-year window following the wedding to complete the program. (You’ve got time!)

  • Yes! I am a member of the Open and Affirming Coalition and have worked extensively with LGBTQ+ couples and the unique gifts they bring, and challenges they face, in their relationships.

    I also have over a decade of experience in supporting those going through religious trauma and healing their spiritual identity. As an interfaith chaplain, I bring special skills to this aspect of our time together that very few therapists are equipped to handle. 

  • Nope! I am not a licensed therapist and this is not therapy. More importantly, I will not tell you that you are marrying the wrong person or that your relationship is doomed!

    Since you have made the decision to commit yourselves to one another for life, I wish to do everything I can to help you have a happy and successful marriage!

    I am experienced Spiritual Counselor and Relationship Coach and I am Certified in each the following modalities:


     ✓ Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level II)
     ✓ Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work
     ✓ Prepare/Enrich Premarital and Relationship Counseling
     ✓ Mindfulness Meditation Leadership
     ✓ Trauma-Informed Yoga Instructor (RYT)

  • No (not unless you want it to be). I am a firm believer that support for engaged couples should not be limited to those who belong to a faith community or religious organization.

    That is why, I have spent my career working with people of all spiritual paths OUTSIDE religious institutions.

    You might say this work is good for the “spiritual-but-not-religious” or for couples where one person considers their religion to be important to them and the other does not. Either way, I am here to help support your relationship and foster healthy communication about your love - whether you are “spiritual” or not.

    I offer a trauma-informed approach that is sensitive to those who have grown up in a religious household, but no longer hold those beliefs. Diving into those experiences can be an important step in created the life and partnership you want! Let’s do this together!
