Meet Bill
​
With over a decade of clinical experience and a commitment to evidence-based therapies, I specialize in helping clients address the challenges of relationship difficulties, neurological difference, perfectionism, and other forms of cognitive and behavioral rigidity. My approach combines warmth, active collaboration, and cutting-edge research to meet the unique needs of each client.
​
I hold a doctorate in clinical psychology from the PGSP-Stanford Psy.D. Consortium, where I completed dissertation research at the Stanford Bipolar Disorders Clinic. My clinical orientation is rooted in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and I am intensively trained to provide Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I wrote the much celebrated When Your Partner Has Bipolar Disorder (2021) and also hold certification as an expert Neurodiverse Couples Therapist from the Association for Autism and Neurodiversity (the AANE). I have always challenged myself to broaden my experience and have chosen to work in a wide variety of treatment settings, from community mental health, to managed care, to private practice. I maintain an active spiritual practice.
Before becoming a psychologist, I graduated cum laude from Harvard University, then worked for over a decade in the arts as a producer and stage director, earning a Master of Fine Arts from Harvard University. This creative background informs my ability to think outside the box, understand relationships, and tailor therapy to each client’s needs.
