“The capacity for
self-integration, like the processes of the mind itself, is continually
created by an interaction of internal neurophysiological processes and
interpersonal relationships.” Dr. Daniel Siegel, from The
Developing Mind How I work with people in relationship. My style working with couples, married, straight, or gay, tends to be
directive and creative. I feel that a session has been satisfactory if participants
emerge with some new “aha” about themselves—some new useful awareness. My approach is goal-oriented, problem-centered, and relatively
brief. I
encourage straight-talk about sex, money, and decision-making as well as the
“co-dependencies” that suffocate long-term relationships. I focus on the
importance of history in a relationship—how people came together and how
their own change as individuals is expressed or not expressed in their
marriage and relationship. And I have a specialty working with families with very difficult
children. I
know that raising a child with a psychiatric diagnosis can imperil a marriage
and so I help devise strategies for couples so that they do not “lose
themselves” in the day-to-day struggle to bring up a very difficult child. ( 425 454-1787 Fax 425 653-1644 |
