Are you tired of fighting with your partner and frustrated with not getting your needs met?
These Often Leads To:
Infidelity – one of the partners being sexual outside the relationship
Financial Issues – couples with trouble communicating often don’t talk about money
Sexual Difficulties – struggling to connect sexually or getting your sexual needs met.
Intimacy Issues – Not feeling emotionally connected with your partner
Relationship issues happen because your needs or the needs of the other person are not getting met.
The key to resolving relationship issues starts with both of you getting your needs met.
I help clients do this in 4 steps:
1. Get familiar with your emotions, for example, happiness, sadness, anger and fear.
Your emotions are information that tell you how you’re doing and whether or not your needs are being met.
2. Get familiar with your needs. What is it you’re needing? Is it more communication? Integrity? Consideration? Support? Etc.
3. Ask for what you want. Once you know what you need, ask for what you want. Be as specific as possible. Your partner can’t read your mind so it’s often helpful if you’re direct about what you want.
4. Connect more deeply with your partner. Once you get clear on your feelings and needs, it becomes much easier to empathize and understand your partners feelings and needs more and more.
You can then ask them how you can help them meet their needs, and support them.
Following these 4 steps allows partners in a relationship to come back together in connection and understanding.
When we see that we both have feelings and needs, and how we can help each other meet our needs, we can move through conflict and come back into healthy relationship with each other.

Difficulty in adult relationships is often rooted in childhood experiences. The relationship between a child and adult caregivers creates a map for how that child understands relationships. If these relationships were strained, it can make relationships in adulthood feel very difficult if not impossible.

The Interpersonal Flexibility Circle is a great way to explore our relationships. Given that I developed that method, relationship counseling can take on a logic and patterns that can make more sense than in the past. It is so important to recognize how old experiences impact our present, so I will help couples to share old experiences that are impacting their current relationship. I belong to a group called Marriage Friendly Therapists. I have also been divorced, but am in a 25 year relationship now, so I am thankful for what my life experience teaches me.
