Why Love Alone Isn't Enough

You’re in love, excited, and planning a future together. But even the strongest couples can get tripped up by miscommunication, unmet expectations, or unresolved family baggage.

You might be wondering:
​
  • “What if we have different communication styles?”
  • “How do we handle conflict without drifting apart?”
  • “Can we really stay close through life’s stress and change?”

​Premarital counseling isn’t about predicting problems—it’s about preparing your relationship to navigate them as a team. Because passion may bring you together, but emotional security is what keeps you connected for the long haul.

Prepare for a Secure, Connected Marriage 

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) is a powerful way to lay the groundwork for a secure relationship before you say “I do.”

Rather than focusing only on surface-level advice, EFT helps you and your partner explore the deeper patterns that shape how you connect, argue, and show up for each other. You’ll uncover how your early experiences, emotional needs, and attachment styles shape your bond—and how to strengthen it.

Whether you’re recently engaged or moving toward commitment, premarital therapy gives you tools that last far beyond your wedding day.

Builds Lasting Tools for Connection

Gain practical ways to communicate, repair rifts, and stay emotionally close—no matter what life brings.
Couples who do this work before marriage often say, “I feel like we know how to be a team now.” That’s the goal: a relationship that doesn’t just look good from the outside—but feels strong on the inside.

Carol was awesome, she really helped us out. She took the time to understand our situation and struggles. She did a great job breaking really large issues into smaller chunks that we could both relate to and understand. Overall we had a great experience working with Carol, and that's hard to accomplish with therapy but she managed to make it a positive experience even when discussing some of our hardest struggles. I would DEFINITELY recommend her without a second thought.
