For more than four decades, Bill has been a trusted resource for thousands of people facing significant loss. As a licensed psychotherapist and licensed funeral director, he has dedicated his professional career to the support of individuals and families as they move through their unique grief journeys.

Bill believes that since love and loss are a part of life, grief is as well — because grief is the natural response to loss. He teaches that although grief is most often associated with death, there are numerous other life losses that cause us grief.

In many ways, society teaches us how not to grieve. We’re often encouraged to avoid the pain. The problem is that grief doesn’t disappear; it remains a dormant presence, manifesting in other ways.

Through both personal and professional observation, Bill is convinced that although life is forever changed, we can regain a state of balance once the grieving process is completed in a healthy way. This became evident to him after recovering from a personal traumatic loss in his early teens — an experience that taught him we can reach a place where we are no longer defined by our loss. He calls this a state of integrated balance.
