Therapy with Will (He/Him):
“If you’ve been in a good headspace once, we can always find our way back to that place.”
To me, therapy is all about learning how to manage life’s challenges in a way that promotes growth, balance, and well-being. My goals are to empower clients to find their strengths so that they can build meaningful and rewarding lives. This doesn’t mean restraining our emotions or leading a life free of problems, but instead building our ability to meet struggles head-on with the energy and resources that we have available.
I believe in a client-focused, skill-based approach in which a comfortable and reliable relationship is first established between therapist and client. Coping skills specific to each client’s needs are then implemented to manage struggles and conflicts as they arise. My flexible approach is well equipped to respond to a variety of life situations such as career changes, relationship shifts, personal struggles, and difficulty managing symptoms. I’m always open to approaching situations from different angles and am actively trying to implement new perspectives and modalities into my sessions.
I’m eager to connect with others and assist them on their life journey, I am open and willing to work with anyone who wants to craft a life well lived.
