About Me

will2829_edited.jpg

I grew up in California and later completed my studies at UC Irvine, UCLA, and the University of Oxford, where I earned my doctoral degree. My path led me to Washington, DC for research at the National Institutes of Health and then to Boston, where I trained in psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital and McLean Hospital and joined the faculty at Harvard Medical School. I remained at McLean, the nation’s leading psychiatric facility, for two years as faculty before moving into private practice.

 

Over time, my work has expanded beyond traditional psychiatry to include contemplative practices, depth psychology, and mystical and spiritual traditions. These perspectives have shaped how I understand suffering, healing, and the nature of consciousness. My clinical work now integrates this broader lens—honoring both scientific rigor and the deeper dimensions of human experience.

 

I see healing as an inner unfolding, supported by relationship and guided by each person’s innate capacity for growth and insight.

Treatment Philosophy

Healing is a relational, transformational, and deeply human process. While medications can play an important role at certain moments, I’ve found that lasting change emerges through psychotherapy and through reconnecting people with their own capacity for awareness, vitality, and agency.

 

My early training included classical psychotherapy, and over the years I’ve integrated it with insights from Eastern philosophies, contemplative practices, somatic work, and modern trauma science. I also support spiritual and meditative practices for those who are drawn to them, and I draw from my experience in psychedelic-assisted therapy when it aligns with a person’s readiness and goals (though I do not provide psychedelic sessions).

 

Although I do prescribe medication, most of the people I work with are not on psychiatric drugs. When medications are used, I view them as temporary supports rather than long-term solutions, and I remain attentive to reducing or discontinuing them when life becomes manageable without them.

 

At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship—an authentic, attuned space where people can safely explore their inner world, integrate their history, and reconnect with their inherent aliveness. My role is to help people access their own inner healer—the part of them that knows how to grow, repair, and transform when given the right conditions. Ultimately, the aim of treatment is freedom: to live with greater clarity, creativity, connection, and self-trust.
