Meet William

As a therapist, I approach my work through a lens of cultural humility and strive to maintain a client-centered stance with patients. I also explicitly ground my work with patients in trauma-informed principles of safety, transparency, and client empowerment. In my practice I incorporate techniques and frameworks from several different therapeutic modalities. I have experience providing therapy to adults and children around a range of mental health conditions and life challenges, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, mood disorders, interpersonal conflict and anger management, grief and loss, and parenting difficulties.

As a therapist, I have a relational, down-to-earth style and draw on principles and techniques from a range of therapeutic modalities and approaches.
