I want YOU to LOVE your marriage.

Juggling your kids, your career, and your relationship is hard.  Even for the experts. And, if you’re struggling to make it all work, you’re not alone. 

Between the chores, the kids, and your career, you’re stretched pretty thin. There simply aren’t enough hours in the day to balance the demands of your job with the demands of your family.  And, it’s no surprise that your marriage has suffered.

You’re frustrated.  You’re overwhelmed.  And, you’re exhausted.

Making it all work is a real struggle.  

You love your job.  You love your kids.  And, you love your partner. 

(Well, most of the time.)  

But you don’t love your marriage.

Between building your career and parenting your kids, you and your partner have grown apart. Something feels like it’s missing in your marriage. You’ve lost your connection, and you’ve lost your spark.

What if you could rekindle your connection? 

What would it feel like if you could love your marriage again?

Hi, I’m Valery.  And I know what it takes to build a better marriage. 

As a practicing marriage therapist and couples counselor, I’ve spent the last 10 years helping couples rebalance, repair, and rekindle their relationships.  So I know what it takes to make a marriage work.

But, I’m also a wife and a mom.  So, I understand what it feels like to juggle parenting, marriage, and real-life, too.

That’s why I love working with couples.  I’ve been in your shoes.  

Let me tell you about MY marriage.  

A few years ago, I was pretty unhappy.  On paper, everything looked great. I had a thriving private practice, a beautiful family, and life was good.  

But, I was exhausted.

Raising a couple of tiny humans is hard, especially when you’re trying to balance your relationship and your career.  And, I didn’t feel supported by my partner. No matter how much my husband did at home or with the baby, I always felt like I was doing more.  And, it didn’t seem fair. 

And that frustration and resentment drove us apart.

I didn’t want to lose my marriage, but I knew that something had to change. I also knew that going to couples counseling wasn’t for us. 

Our marriage wasn’t broken. 

But, it wasn’t really working either.  And, traditional marriage advice didn’t help.  (After all, who has time to do more date nights?) We needed to find balance in our partnership, and we needed to learn new ways to connect.

We NEEDED a new framework for making a modern marriage work. And, that’s what I want to share with you. 

My Modern Marriage Framework

Problem Solving and Teamwork

How you solve problems shapes your marriage. Master the business of being married and rebalance your partnership.

Friendship and Intimacy

The quality of your friendship determines the quality of your marriage. It’s time to stop drifting apart and start reconnecting.

Communication

How you talk to your partner matters. But, if you struggle to communicate with your partner, you’re not alone. Learn how to level up your communication.

Trust and Commitment

Great relationships are emotionally safe and secure.  Nurture the trust and commitment you share with your partner.

 

 I’d love to work with you!
