Finding a therapist can be overwhelming and intimidating. I recognize the importance of building a safe and trusting relationship with you to best support you and your needs. My approach is highlighted by my warmth, creativity, and humor, which informs my ability to build rapport and strengthen our therapeutic relationship. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, young adults and their families in inpatient, outpatient and school settings. I believe in utilizing a collaborative approach, drawing from your experiences and insights to support growth and healing.

William provides short and long-term therapy to adolescents, adults, and couples. He enjoys helping clients navigate challenges with emotional regulation, anxiety, depression, sex and sexual identity, recent or resurfacing trauma, and life transitions. He has experience working with clients around issues of intimate/relational aggression and other forms of acting out, as well as sexual and non-sexual trauma, internalized stigma, and pressured masculinity. His approach to therapy emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as the main vessel for growth and healing.

I'm passionate about helping clients recognize and break unhealthy patterns in their lives, particularly involving close relationships. I work with individuals and couples on cultivating more understanding and compassion for self and others, and on more caring and effective navigation of relationship conflicts. I support clients in advocating for their own needs, desires and boundaries in relationships, and on better understanding the perspectives and needs of others. I welcomed a child at the height of Covid-19 (2020), and I enjoy working with new parents on maintaining self-care and personal fulfillment while parenting young kids.

Feeling overwhelmed occasionally is normal but has it become the "norm" for you? There may be many reasons why you are feeling overwhelmed; however, it is concerning when you feel helpless when your strong emotions come out. Your suffering has likely reached a point where you are considering professional help. This is an important (sometimes the hardest) step to take. You may fear "word-vomiting" in the first few sessions, but it is ok. The more active your mind is, the more there is to learn about yourself, specifically your triggers & repetitive maladaptive cycles. The more we learn, we can strategize which coping strategy to use.
