Hi, I'm Terri.
I’m an Ohio-based licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in couples therapy, marriage counseling, and premarital counseling. As your premarital counselor, I’ll help you and your partner establish a basis of total honesty as you navigate sometimes-challenging conversations related to your past, present, and future.
Honesty and transparency are at the core of my philosophy. I take a straightforward, no-BS approach to facilitate candid conversations about difficult issues that are often left unaddressed in counseling. With a deep bond rooted in trust and communication, you can start building happily-ever-after.
What Is Premarital Counseling?
Premarital counseling is a type of couples therapy for soon-to-be-married couples. In premarital counseling, you’ll discuss your goals and expectations for your shared future. You’ll also learn valuable communication and conflict management skills to help you weather whatever comes your way.
Benefits of Premarital Counseling
The primary benefit of premarital counseling is that it can give you and your partner peace of mind that you’ll be in it for the long haul. Here are a few ways couples in my practice benefit:
-
Learn valuable communication and conflict resolution skills
-
Build a foundation of trust
-
Set expectations surrounding family and marriage
-
Discuss financial values and goals
-
Cultivate a deeper sense of intimacy and connection
What To Expect in Premarital Counseling
Some couples come to me with specific concerns they’d like to address before tying the knot, while others are looking for guided discussions about how to build a successful marriage.
Certainly, we will work through any issues you would like to resolve before your wedding. I will also lead you and your partner through discussions aimed at identifying issues that may come up in the future. These discussions may begin with questions like:
-
What are your expectations for marriage?
-
How will you make major decisions as a couple?
-
What are your plans for money management?
-
How do you plan to divide household responsibilities?
-
What are your plans for having children?
-
How do you navigate your relationship with your parents? Is there any friction with your future in-laws?
