What is PREPARE/ENRICH?​
As a certified counselor, allow me to create a customized assessment just for you... PREPARE/ENRICH is an assessment completed online that identifies a couple's strength and growth areas. It is one of the most widely used programs for premarital counseling and premarital education. It is also used for marriage counseling, marriage enrichment, and dating couples considering engagement. Based on a couple's assessment results, I will provide up to 8 feedback sessions to help guide you through the process of a deeper level of understanding ALL of the dynamics at work in your relationship, giving you the tools to greater compassion, love, and communication in every area of your lives together.
* Over the last 30 years, the PREPARE/ENRICH relationship assessment has empowered and energized more than 3 million couples. We're the #1 relationship inventory and couples assessment tool.

Relationship enrichment counseling is all about interpersonal dynamics
- how we relate to others and to ourselves.
​
Are we communicating what we really need... what we feel...
what we want... do we know how to make our message clear?
​
Or are we too caught up in protecting others and ourselves from what we fear?
Through this educational journey we learn how to tap into our true needs, wants and desires, and we learn how to differentiate between them.
​
In Relationship Enrichment, we bring our full intensity and passion to to forefront so that we can share ALL of ourselves with those we love.
