The Art of Healing
& Trancendence...
Bill's Biography
The rich, complex nature of being human has been a life-long interest for study and reflection. My first psychology class in high school felt like coming home to a place I had never been. I began my formal education by completing a Bachelor of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology at Eastern Washington University. I worked while completing my degree at Eastern State Mental Hospital on a locked psychiatric unit for 5 years as a mental health technician and interacted directly with patients.
I worked for an additional 5 years as a Washington State registered vocational counselor and helped injured workers to identify new career paths. I then entered a master's program in clinical psychology at Antioch University in Seattle and earned my degree in 2004. Immediately after graduation I opened a private therapy practice in the Fremont neighborhood and worked there from 2004 - 2026. I closed the Fremont office mid 2026 and now see clients in the Ballard neighborhood as well as in Montlake Terrace. I also utilize a borderless Zoom option to fill in any gaps for in-person folks and also for those who live a great distance away; including internationally.
After 20 years working as a psychotherapist, I am drawn to now work as a psycho-spiritually aligned counselor and Healing Ally. My ongoing education has evolved to more strongly embrace ancient wisdom teachings as well as other more esoteric spiritual ones, which blend well with my background in formal psychology. I feel this positions me for our current changing times and also is the direction the helping profession appears to be headed.
I actively participate in ongoing education and personal growth to enhance what I can bring to help heal and improve the quality of life for those I serve. I strive imperfectly (as humans are) to live my teachings and am dedicated to my calling.
