What are Premarital Conversations?
Premarital Conversations are available to couples newly engaged or in the process of planning their wedding. Unlike many marriage preparation programs utilizing online surveys and other standard assessments, Premarital Conversations are guided by your needs as individuals, and as a couple.
Premarital Conversations offer a supportive container for you to explore your relationship in a fun, relaxed and collaborative process. With me as guide and facilitator, together you will develop a better understanding of your strengths and challenges – individually and jointly – discover emergent possibilities and discern opportunities for growth in relationship to yourself and with each other.

by your presence and wisdom and how helpful it feels for us."
Premarital Conversations Package
The basic Premarital Conversations package includes 3 hour-long sessions with homework exercises to complete on your own (don’t worry…not that kind of homework!). The course of our conversation moves from discussing your relationship to exploring your wedding to envisioning married life beyond the big day, with exercises between sessions designed to further support and deepen each topic.

How do Premarital Conversations work?
Ideally, Premarital Conversations occur between the most intensive ends of wedding planning: after you’ve gotten engaged, but before planning ramps up again as the day approaches. If this is not possible, adjustments can be made to work within most time frames.
Sessions are held in-person at my private office in Florence, MA, or via FaceTime/Skype. The span between sessions depends on the total time frame we’re working within, ability to complete your homework exercises and both our scheduling needs. The cost for the Premarital Conversations 3-session package is $195. Additional sessions can be added on a sliding scale of $50-$75 per session. The couple also gives me permission to discuss our sessions in confidentiality with my supervisor. Premarital Conversations are based upon my seminary education at The New Seminary including pastoral care, spiritual and premarital counseling, my Psychosynthesis training at The Synthesis Center, and my own experience with professional marriage counseling. |
Premarital Conversations are not counseling or psychotherapy, nor is it an appropriate substitute
for those struggling with deeper psychological issues or diagnosed mental health disorders.
