LPCC, 6 years of experience
New to Grow
Hello! I'm Will, a dedicated therapist with seven enriching years of experience in the field of mental health. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with diverse individuals, helping them navigate through challenges and achieve personal growth. I am currently pursuing my doctorate in clinical psychology, a journey that further fuels my passion for understanding the complexities of the human mind. My therapeutic approach is firmly anchored in compassion and evidence-based practices, ensuring that the support I provide is both empathetic and practical. I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where my clients can explore their thoughts and feelings openly. Guided by a Catholic worldview, I place a strong emphasis on the inherent dignity of every individual, believing that everyone deserves respect and understanding in their healing journey. I am deeply committed to facilitating transformative experiences that empower clients to realize their potential and lead fulfilling lives.
In our first session, we'll take some time to get to know each other better. This will help us build a trusting relationship, so you can feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and concerns. I want you to know that your privacy matters, and I'm here to support you every step of the way!
Over the course of my seven years in therapy, I have had the privilege of working with clients from a rich tapestry of cultures, backgrounds, and age groups. Each interaction has offered me unique insights and deepened my understanding of the varied experiences that shape individual lives.
I specialize in addressing mental health challenges, with a particular focus on depression and anxiety. I also have substantial experience working with individuals struggling with substance abuse. My approach revolves around understanding each person's unique experiences and creating personalized strategies to promote healing and resilience. Additionally, I work with couples and families, facilitating open communication and helping them navigate relationship dynamics to foster stronger connections. My goal is to create a supportive environment where clients can explore their feelings, gain insights, and develop coping mechanisms to enhance their emotional well-being and improve their relationships.

Most emotional or psychological distress can be related to irrational and/or unhelpful cognitions (a fancy word for beliefs/thoughts). When working with clients, I identify irrational cognitions and develop methods to challenge those thoughts and replace them with more helpful, rational ones.
