As a therapist, I believe in meeting people where they are at and that you, the individual, are the expert on your life. I tailor my practice to what your individual goals and needs are by considering all parts of who you are, including your strengths, and not only the struggles you face. Throughout my work, I hope to foster a space in which we can communicate openly about what is working and what may not. I look forward to collaborating together and getting to know you better, as this journey will be a team effort between the two of us.

Whew, starting therapy is a big step. Grab your coffee, tea, or water and settle in, we got this! I work with men and women ages 30+ who want to change unhelpful patterns and learn more about themselves and how they operate in the world. I enjoy working with parents, artists, writers, musicians, tech and science people, and story-tellers. Feel a little skeptical about the usefulness of therapy? That's all right - we can work through it! Struggling in relationships? If you replay conversations in your head and wish it had gone better, I want to deconstruct it with you and prepare for the next opportunity.

My ideal client might be afraid to begin with. They may think I will tell them they are crazy, or look at them in shock for what they tell me. When I reassure them their trauma has taken a toll, but they are not crazy, and I can help them, they will relax. They will learn to trust me and open up. By opening up about their lives and what they have been through and working through their trauma, they will come out on the other side realizing they no longer need to experience the pain, and can experience the joy they always strived for.

If you’re new to therapy, I’m here for you. If you had a bad experience with a previous therapist, I’m here for you. If you are hesitant to start mental health services, or looking for a new provider, I’m here for you. Starting therapy can be scary, I will walk along side you normalizing the human experience, de-stigmatize and provide psychoeducation on mental health, and help you work towards your optimal functioning. I value transparency, vulnerability, humor, and compassion and will help you with tools and strategies to get you back to feeling more like yourself right away.

I believe that the best therapy is radically empathetic, that all people hold the innate capacity for healing, and that courage and strength are discovered when people are allowed the space to express and release emotional pain. I use relational, evidence based approaches and work collaboratively with my clients to target the issues most challenging to them. The approaches I use vary and are dependent on the needs of the individual, family, or couple that I'm working with, modalities include DBT, TF-CBT, EMDR, psychodynamic and attachment theory.

Run down. Overwhelmed. Weary. Stressed. Sad. Do you struggle with feeling like you are never enough? Are you constantly striving to perform perfectly and feel like you are always falling short? Do you feel like you need rest, but you don’t know how? Are you a person of faith who feels disconnected from God? Maybe you find yourself avoiding conflict and consistently put others over yourself- leaving you feeling burnt out and unappreciated. Or maybe you’re not sure what’s going on but you do know you “are over it”. You are used to feeling this way, but this does not have to be your life. I want to help you.

Hi, I'm Luke, and I'm a Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience as a mental health practitioner. My hope is that you're able to find a good fit for your therapist, as it has been my experience that the qualities found in the therapeutic relationship, including authenticity, validation, understanding, and mutual empathy are some of the essential foundations to the work of healing. With that in mind, I tend to emphasize building the therapeutic relationship first, which may include discussing interests, things that are important to you, important relationships, engaging in humor, and what makes life meaningful to you.

I have a passion in working with children, adolescents, and their families who are experiencing struggles with transitions, adjustment issues, family conflict, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, anger, grief, and trauma. I also provide services to adult individuals who are struggling with adjustment issues, relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and self-esteem. I provide a comfortable environment of encouragement, respect, and empowerment to assist clients in acquiring new knowledge and skills to be equipped in reaching their therapeutic goals and strengthen their primary relationships.
