My Philosophy
After working in these different arenas, William has seen how important wholistic health is, and the impact of incorporating the many different aspects of a life into treatment. He provides therapy from a trauma informed viewpoint.
William is a goal driven, solution focused clinician; he utilizes an integrative, evidence based approach to psychotherapy, curating interventions to the needs of his clients.
William is certified to provide Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and will use this as requested or as he sees the need throughout the treatment of a client.
