My name is William, but you can call me Will. I am an LPC Resident here at Brookside. I have a Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University, and a Bachelors of Arts with a Major in Psychology and a Minor in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire. I wanted to understand both the individual, and the systems in which they live. I do couples work as well as individual work with my clients.
I believe that everyone has the power to get through the struggles they face throughout their lives, and sometimes those struggles are impossible to face alone, which is where I come in. Struggles can be new life changes, trauma, past experiences that are resurfacing, or anything that causes distress. I am committed to creating a collaborative environment where you can grow, and will always be willing to support and guide you on your journey to adapting and learning. My clients are the experts on their own experiences, and I will always strive to understand the world through their eyes and perspectives. However, sometimes I will give a nudge or express a thought towards a new perspective or something you may not have considered, and work to help you reach new insights and solutions to your struggles. I am ready and willing to adapt my approach as needed depending on the needs of the client, as there is no one-size-fits-all approach to the counseling process. I help with a wide variety of mental health issues, and I specialize in ADHD treatment, as I myself have ADHD and am ready to let my experiences give someone a place to feel understood so we can get to work.
Outside of counseling, I enjoy many things. I love cooking, gaming, swimming, and writing poetry. I also love spending time with my loved ones, as I believe that time with loved ones can also be a therapeutic and fulfilling time. I am welcoming to all walks of life, and I hope to see you soon!
