PREMARITAL & MARRIAGE COUNSELING FOR INTENTIONAL COUPLES
Setting the Foundation for a Lasting Marriage
Marriage Counseling for Couples based in Miami, Florida.
Maybe you're seriously dating and considering engagement. Or, maybe you're already engaged and in the throes of wedding planning. You are likely excited, but maybe also a little overwhelmed by what's ahead because having a successful marriage is super important to you. Your relationship (like every long-term relationship) has its challenges. Sometimes you fight. Sometimes you disagree. You probably have some differences. But, you're overall hopeful and confident this is your person.
The reality is, over half of marriages in the United States end in divorce. No one ever marries with the intention to later separate or live in an unhappy marriage, but somehow it happens. Knowing this, you may catch yourself thinking...
"Do we have what it takes?"
"What if we end up like my parents?"
"What if we don't live up to my parent's marriage?"
"How will we handle conflict/hardships in the future?"
"Is it okay that we don't agree on everything?"
"Is it normal that ___ bothers me about my partner?"
"How will we decide if/when to grow our family and how will we navigate becoming parents?"
"Will we always feel this in love and connected?"
These thoughts or any variation of these thoughts, may have you feeling conflicted or uncertain despite your overall excitement. This is normal. You ask yourself these questions because you care about your relationship. You want to ensure you have what it takes to create a fulfilling, connected and lasting marriage.
The current divorce rate reflects the challenges of modern day marriage. The reality is that healthy and happy marriages don't just happen naturally. What's at stake if you are not intentional and proactive with your relationship health, is that over time your marriage could become stagnant, disconnected, or the source of more harm than good.
From the research, we know that unhealthy marriages can unfortunately be the source of poor emotional, mental and physical health long-term. But, with premarital counseling and a strong foundation, your marriage can be a beautiful source of connection, support and fulfillment for many years to come.
You’re in the right place and taking a beautiful first step.
I know both from professional and personal experience how challenging and rewarding marriage can be.
This is why I'm passionate about helping couples learn the skills and mindset shifts required to thrive in their marriage. A significant amount of time, energy and money is devoted to planning the perfect wedding day. Your marriage is just as (if not more) deserving of that same attention.

Hi, I’m Taylor!
About Your Premarital Counselor
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist and premarital counselor in Miami, Florida! I offer relationship counseling to couples both in Miami and throughout the state of Florida via virtual sessions.
My previous work with couples and families inspired me to become a premarital counselor. Often, therapy is used by married couples as a last resort before separation or divorce. While not impossible to salvage a relationship at this stage, it does make it significantly more challenging to alter negative thinking and unhealthy behaviors this far down the line. I often wondered how different these relationships could have turned out if they had the right preparation, education and practice right from the start. Even for couples who were able to turn things around, I often heard some variation of the comment - “I wish we would have started this earlier.”
This is what motivates me and I hope you as well.
By choosing premarital counseling, you’re making an intentional choice and investment in your relationship health and longevity. You are setting the right foundation for both your partnership and all others whom your marriage could impact down the road.
