About me
Hi, I'm William. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) trained to help people find solutions to their problems and concerns. I received my Masters in Social Work from East Carolina University and I have experience working with all ages. Do you feel the pressure of career, family, children and a world full of tremendous change? I am here to help you maneuver what can seem like a complex maze. Each of us has the power to grow and face challenges and sometimes we just need someone to listen and help us find the right direction. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I love to work with all types of people to help them live and achieve their best life. Seeking and receiving therapy can be scary for some people. But it doesn't have to be scary. Therapy should be your time to enter a place where you will feel safe and respected to share your deepest thoughts and desires. Together we will work to help you achieve your goals.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
We all want to be heard. At your first session I am interested in hearing your story. Each of us is unique and we bring our own experiences, thoughts and feelings. Therapy needs to start where you are and to hear your goals. My job is to hear you articulate your needs and help you find a path forward.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest areas of strength are working with people who are making life transitions such as a change in job, the addition of children or having children leave the home for adulthood or a loss. It could be the loss of a partner or creating healthy boundaries with family or friends. These changes can cause tremendous stress and anxiety but there are strategies to use to manage these transitions.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I believe I am best equipped to help clients who are struggling and want to find a path forward to a better level of living. This can be struggles with anxiety, depression and/or transitions in life which come with marriage, children, loss and transitions which can come from job or just changes in life due to age.

My treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
When people are motivated to enter therapy they need someone who will listen and not judge, be supportive and help them move to a place of well being. People often have awareness of what they need to do but they often need someone who can support them in this journey to wellness. I believe it is important to accept people where they are in their life journey.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
"Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a short-term goal-focused evidence-based therapeutic approach, which incorporates positive psychology principles and practices, and which helps clients change by constructing solutions rather than focusing on problems." I believe that it can be useful to focus not on the problem but on the solution you want to achieve the goals you want for your life. There can be power and energy in focusing on the positive direction in which you want to move
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Often we find that our thinking can be problematic for us. This can result from early learned behavior or coping skills we have developed with are not helpful. It is the self-talk we sometimes use which keeps us stuck. Changing our thinking can have an impact on how we feel and interact with others.
