William is a psychotherapist with experience providing short and long-term therapy to adolescents, adults, and couples. He supports and collaborates with clients as they navigate challenges with emotional regulation, anxiety, depression, sex and sexual identity, recent or resurfacing trauma, and life transitions. He has extensive 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.

William’s approach to therapy emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as the main vessel for growth and healing with the goals of improving self-awareness, developing acceptance of individual wants and needs, as well as healing from past harmful relational experiences. He utilizes psychodynamic, relational, and narrative psychotherapy from a trauma-focused, person-centered approach in order to foster exploration and understand how past experiences inform current challenges. This includes guiding clients in identifying, understanding, and expressing complex thoughts and emotions that are at the root of problematic behavior. He implements strategies from motivational interviewing and DBT to empower clients to develop skills in emotional processing, mindfulness, and coping with stress and anxiety.

William believes in honoring a client’s authentic experience in regards to culture, race, ethnicity, neurodiversity, gender identity, sexuality, and faith. He approaches clients with empathy, sincerity, and humor as he honors each client as the expert on their own lives. He understands the necessity of cultural humility and transparency in learning when engaging in this work. His top priority is to create a safe and warm therapeutic space that is racially and politically aware, LGBTQ-affirming, spiritually mindful, and sex-positive. 

William received his masters from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College, where he completed a Field of Specialization in Gender and Sexuality.
