The hole inside of you that you try to fill with alcohol, food, drugs, people and things keeps getting bigger. You are sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. Carrying the same boulder up the same hill like Sisyphus. Doomed to keep repeating the same ugly mistakes over and over and over. Julie has been married 15 years to a man she says she truly loves who is at the end of his rope with her drinking.

They have two young children, whom she adores, but when she can tell the truth she admits to feeling completely stressed out and often bored at home. The demands of life are too much, and she says that she needs a way to let loose and take a break from all the pressure. Julie is a fabulously successful business woman at the top of her field in a high stress work environment that demands a lot of her time and energy.

Without realizing it, you may have already begun the process. Congratulations! Right this minute you are doing the next right thing to get you moving towards the changes you know you want. The courage to search for the help you need shows your inner-most self that the relief you crave is in reach.
Right now you're feeling ready to make the changes you have got to make in order to have the life you really want. The problems you want to solve are ready to move. Therapy with me is a collaborative process of finding your inner wisdom and capacity to heal through a variety of methods. You might be a perfect candidate for EMDR to work through and move past difficult memories.
It is time to face the issues in your relationship that threaten to destroy the most precious thing you have. Love is the main reason most of us get up every day and face life and the challenges it brings. When your primary relationship is in trouble it can truly feel life and death serious.

My experience with all of the couples I work with is that under the frustration, angry words and impasses there is a primal need for you to feel safe, seen and heard.My job as a couple's therapist is to help you see where your fear and best intentions are undermining the natural flow of the honest, intimate communication you want.
Intensive The Daring Way and Rising Strong workshops present months of therapy content and condense the information into a 3 day highly structured format. These workshops are also offered as a 6-8 week workshop consisting of 2 hour weekly groups. Some areas of growth happen exponentially faster and easier with the supportive feedback and reflection of a peer group.
When you think about painful past events, are the feelings so intense that you feel like the event is still happening? EMDR is probably good if you have PTSD or if you are in the aftermath of a recent traumatic event and your brain is struggling to keep you safe.

EMDR (Eye Movement De-sensitization Reprocessing) Therapy, aka AIP (Adaptive Information Processing) Therapy, uses the brain's ability to heal itself through bringing the memory back to mind in a safe, controlled setting, measuring the disturbance and negative beliefs about yourself and your environment, and then through using a series of bi-lateral stimuli that mimic REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep cycles, there is a proven effect of reducing the disturbance associated with the memory.

Odd woman, not sure she is objective she seems to have many personal issues that skew her view of a healthy perspective. I felt her lifestyle, previous addictions and personal trauma affect her responses as a confident mental health resource.

Two years ago Heather Outlaw was able to guide me with care through some trauma I had not processed. I have actually referred two friends to her and both have continued to see her. I am so glad to know Heather is there if I need more therapy in the future and that I can fully trust my dearest friends to her care. She operated with true compassion and wisdom.

I couldn't have asked for a better therapuetic companion through making my own decision to divorce and then facing the aftermath that ensued after from my soon to be ex-spouse.

Heather is full of compassion and really listens to understand and give sound counsel. I've only been twice but have found our time together full of healing. Finding a good fit as a therapist is hard to come by - Heather exceeds any/all expectations I had.

I contacted Heather for my daughter. She is the most knowledgeable therapist and my daughter really connected with her. My daughter is excited to go to her session instead of me pushing her. I can see the positive changes in her. I would give Heather 10 stars!
