Nice to meet you

Hi, I’m Will—a New York–based therapist who helps young adults and adults navigate anxiety, depression, and life transitions using practical, evidence-based CBT techniques. I provide a supportive, affirming space for LGBTQ+ clients to explore identity, relationships, and self-growth with authenticity and compassion. Together, we’ll unpack mental clutter, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and find moments to laugh along the way. My goal is to help you feel grounded, understood, and a little lighter after each session.
