Psychologist, PhD
Relationships and couples/marriage counseling is one of the main reasons people seek therapy. Attachment research is clear about our need as human to connect with and have a loving relationship with another that is mutual and reciprocal.

Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MPH, LPCC
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.

Jennifer Ann
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MFTC, NMT, CHHC
I enjoy working with couples and families to improve their communication and understanding of each other. Commonly, couples have gotten themselves into patterns of communication that are negative and assumptive, ultimately ending with hurt feelings. I encourage clients to explore the meaning of their responses and feelings to one another and build understanding and acceptance of one another.
