I offer a one-time, private, supportive, three-hour session to gently and carefully help you prepare for a long-term commitment. I believe it is vital to build upon your strengths and gifts to enhance your relationship.  

​

There is a pre-session assessment to complete. When we meet, we will cover essential relationship insights and skills - in fact we will address 13 key areas of good relationship building. We will also define each of your goals, your differences, and each of your ambitions. It will be important to discuss how to stay true to yourself as you thrive in your relationship. I will also make space to talk about any particular issues you are struggling with.

 

You will receive handouts and a certificate of completion.

​

I use many resources to compile this private session, including the work of Cate Heffernan (MCCS) that I used in the above passages.
