I don't know everyone on those therapist listings, so I cannot recommend a specific therapist or listing. Talk to any potential therapist and make sure they are a good fit for you. Therapy offers a safe environment where you can heal from stressful situations, traumatic events, grief, anxiety, and addiction. Therapy can help if you are feeling stuck, struggling with a past or current issue, or having trouble reaching your goals.
As a therapist, I am dedicated to helping people make the changes that they want in their lives and supporting people as they heal and grow. Healing from abuse, neglect, and other traumatic events: Unresolved trauma gets in the way of truly living life and doing all that you want to do. You can heal and recover. Decreasing anxiety and stress: Anxiety and stress are very common, but can interfere with enjoying life.
In therapy, you can learn ways to decrease anxiety and feel calmer. Recovering from alcohol abuse, addiction, or codependency: You can explore the pros and cons of sobriety, decide what you want, find ways to reduce urges, and make a plan for action.

I have a B.S. in civil engineering from the University of Illinois (1993), where I specialized in water flow and environmental engineering.
Before I graduated, I started volunteering at a date rape education program and a domestic violence shelter.
I also saw a therapist when I was in college.
Due to those experiences, I decided to become a therapist.
Even though I love the analytical thinking of engineering and I truly love stream flow dynamics and rivers, I felt a strong calling to be a therapist.

There are many different ways to heal and grow.
As you look for a therapist, it is important to find someone whose approach matches your own way of changing and growing.
My approach is practical, collaborative, and interactive.
While I am a good listener, I am also very active in sessions.
I tend to emphasize strengths and solutions.
I encourage people to cultivate more joy and contentment, as well as feeling all of their emotions.
Perhaps because I was also trained as a civil engineer, I tend to use concrete and evidence-based techniques.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an approach that can help people resolve traumatic memories, anxiety, PTSD, grief, loss, and other difficult issues.
EMDR seems like a very simple technique; however, it can have profound results.
There are MRI studies that show how EMDR therapy creates changes in the brain, as people resolve traumatic issues.
EMDR therapy can greatly lower the distress associated with a traumatic event.
Traumatic memories or any unresolved difficulties can greatly affect your life.

I offer a free phone consultation, so that you can ask any questions you have and decide if we are a good fit.
Once a week: I normally meet with people at the same time and on the same day each week (for example, 4:00pm on Thursdays every week).
Of course, it's okay if people need to miss a week due to illness or vacation.
I prefer to meet on a weekly basis, because it seems like people make the most progress that way.
Generally, I only reserve a time/day for people when they come in every week or almost every week.
