Meet Mckinsey
Certified SYMBIS Facilitator • Premarital Coach
I believe preparing for marriage should be a comfortable space to ask honest questions, understand each other more deeply, and grow together.
My background includes pastoral ministry, leadership and parent coaching, and a certificate in conflict management from Boise State University. I’m also pursuing my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
As a certified SYMBIS facilitator, I use your personalized assessment to guide meaningful conversations about your strengths, differences, and hopes for marriage. My approach is warm, practical, and thoughtful, with room for both partners to feel heard.
My Christian faith shapes how I care for people, and I welcome conversations about the beliefs and values you want to bring into your life together. You don’t need to have everything figured out, just a willingness to learn about each other and the marriage you’re building.
What We’ll Explore Together
Communication
Your personalized SYMBIS® assessment shapes every conversation. We’ll use your unique results—your strengths, differences, and expectations—to guide practical, flexible exercises and conversation starters designed just for you.
Conflict
Explore how you each respond to disagreements and practice ways to work through differences with respect and care.
Finances
Talk openly about spending, saving, debt, and financial expectations as you begin planning your life together.
Faith & Spirituality
Explore what faith means to each of you and how you want to make space for spiritual life in your marriage.
The SYMBIS® Assessment
Every marriage is a unique story. Whether you are walking down the aisle for the first time or starting a new chapter together after a previous marriage, the SYMBIS® assessment meets you exactly where you are. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all test; it is a warm, insightful doorway into understanding your partner more deeply. Each couple receives a tailored report specifically designed for their stage of life—highlighting your unique strengths and creating a gentle roadmap for the path ahead. To help you see what’s possible, you can explore our two sample reports, showing the tailored approach for both first-time and previously married couples.
