Thanks for checking out my profile! Let me introduce myself so you can get to know me. First off, I love being a counselor! I love seeing how people can change when they have someone in their corner encouraging them and helping them to see how powerful he or she can be. In my 14 years of counseling in Idaho and Utah since getting my Masters Degree in Psychology, I have been inspired by people from many walks of life who seek to make lasting changes in their life. Many of the good people I have worked with have had difficult experiences in trauma, marital struggles, addiction and other challenges that have made it difficult to move forward in their lives. We have had success using various approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment therapy, solution focused therapy and more. It is about what empowers YOU to be successful. Sometimes, that happens just by letting the strength and competency in you come out through my listening. Whatever works for you, we find it and do it! Your strength (I promise it is there!), coupled with the training and life experience that I can offer you as a husband, a father of 3 boys and someone who believes in the power of human beings can make the difference you seek.

Will is awesome!!! I worked with him for over a year and can’t recommend him enough. It was the first time I had (and really connected with) a therapist, particularly a male therapist (and say that as a dude). Will kept reminding me of my competence and encouraging me to reengage with life during/after the pandemic. I can’t thank him enough!

William has been excellent in reminding me of the tools I have at my disposal for improving my mental health. He does a great job of reminding me how important I am as a person and how valuable my life is. I highly recommend him as a therapist.

Very open to hearing my concerns before we even had a session, and continues to help ease my anxieties over my life and my therapy.

William is a Great councelor. He listens attentively and quickly understands what my issues are. If I don’t really know myself he helps me skillfully to get to the core. His advice and ideas are very helpful and I already feel like making progress after only two sessions. Thank you very much!!!

Will had a way of listening and putting things in perspective through personal experiences and/or articulate explanations about how the brain works. He is also a great person to work with that seems to really care. Thanks for all your help!
