“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 |
